Octávio's MAAAD Roleplay

HomerHarbi · 2016-02-27T21:03:22+00:00

Hey guys! My name is Octávio and I live in Madrid, Spain (España, how it's said in here) and I tune cars with Haltech ECU's and this is my daily which was a bargain. It's a '01 Volkswagen Bora with a 1.9 TDI engine and I've done a tune, so it's making around 220hp. And I only paid V$4000 for it including the rims the owner had laying around. The car has 180k km which is not that much because since the old owner had a small business so it has made a lot of trips from Madrid to Barcelona and other

I'm in JAPAN!

Hey guys, I came here to Japan because I want to visit my family since I'm on my big vacations and while I'm here I want to finally start "finishing" my drift s13 by swapping the engine from a SR20 to a RB26DET built which I am buying here and also buy some MAAAD bucket seats. So when I arrive in Spain, and after going to Portugal I can finally do a rollbar and maybe go on my 1st drift event (??).
When I arrived here, ramalhinho07 aka Ismael was waiting for us in his Toyota MkII and when I arrived at Michel's house (my brother in law) he lent us his Datsun/Nissan 1200 pickup with a CA18DET swap which drives pretty good.

Here are some pics:

This is what I'll be driving, with Jorge, until Friday, where I come back to Spain.
Now, I'm going to leave, because I'm literally dying from the airplane trip.

Spoiler: Trip -700V$
Petrol -40V$
Total: 19.810-740=19.070V$

Hey guys, it’s been quite a while,

So, I bought a lot of stuff in Japan and I didn’t want to reveal it until I had everything here. Today arrived the missing parts so I can finally show you what I am going to do / done with my cars.
Firstly, there’s my drift car, the 180SX. I don’t want to go on a drift event with this shitty SR20DE because after changing every seal it still leaked and sometimes decides not to work, so when I was in Japan I wanted to buy another engine but wanted to do something different, like swapping and RB26DET to the car but my plans went to the gutter when I actually saw the price of getting forged internals. So what I got? Another 2JZ-GTE for it.

Because these engines are good, that’s why I already have 2 but I am hopefully going to sell my Gita in the future to buy my dream car, a Subaru Legacy SW gen 4 with an H6, so that I don’t have 3 cars with the same engine, etc.
Also I got the interior stripped, a complete rollbar, some Bride bucket seat with some takata harness for the inside and a legit D-MAX hood because of possible clearance issues when I’m going to swap the engine so mind as well swap it.

Lastly, I got a towbar for my Altezza Gita since I need to have a car that can tow a trailer for my 180sx when I get it done.

So it’s all for now guys, I am going to a drift event with my miata next Saturday and I’ll try go get some maad shots.
See ya!

Hey guys, finally an update.

Sorry for not updating you guys sooner but this week has been a total roller coaster, with Phonexius coming here for me to tune his HCR32 which btw, looks so awesome. Also, I've been going to the beach, and since I live in Madrid, I have to drive 2 hours to Barcelona so that I can enjoy the best of Spain, which is the Mediterranian Sea. Unfortunately I got sunburnt real hard and this hurts like a motherf*cker.

But enough of that, here's some updates on the 240sx. When I had free time, I started stripping the whole front of the car (front bumper, lights, hood, front guards)

I started to remove everything in the SR so I can remove it easier

Now I can remove the SR20 to cut and redo the hole front so that I can put the 2JZ without any problem and make the intercooler sit flush.

After spending about 400V$ in metal, I started to test my welding skills and made the front myself and looks like this:

That's all I have to say on the 180sx, in the next update I will have the engine installed and all the parts fitted. Also, I have to paint this so that it won't rust out.

Since I haven't been a lot at the shed and this is where I park my miata, because I needed to use the Gita so that I can transport the 180's bonnet to the wreckers, Jorge made me a little surprise:

The miata looks pretty funny! I won't be taking this out, since I will use it for Halloween.

That's it for now guys, see ya!

Spoiler: - 400V$ Metal tubes and brackets

20V$ Old 180sx bonnet
2500V$ Tuning Phonexius HCR32[/color]

17.420+2.080=19.500V$

You make it look cute. And of course I'm putting big $ on the 180, I want to have a reliable drift car

HomerHarbi

Hey guys, realy kick update:

So, next Saturday (the 23rd) I'll be attending a drift event near Barcelona with my good mate Jorge and I will be taking the miata there with the stock rims in the rear because I don't want to ruin the good tyres that are on the maxxim's (aka Equip replicas). Hopefuly I will get someone to take pictures and I'll be posting them here as well as finishing the 180sx. I am really stoked to see the 180 doing some MAAAD skids in a safe and controlled environment (or nah 😛)

Oh and soon, after going to Phonexius HQ and put another Haltech in his Subaru (I <3 Subarus, btw) I'll be going to the US and maybe buy a car there since I'm going to stay for a month, basically.

See ya!

Benny

😮 you are wellcome bro gonna clean the garage and make some space...Going back to respray the A4 and then the Imp (1st coat of pain) and don't wreck your car on the drift event!!!

HomerHarbi

Hey guys!
Finally got some time to do an update.
So, I've finally "finished" the 180sx, which means I've put the engine in its new home.

While the engine wasn't here, I decided not to paint the front bar but I've put some anti-rust clear coat sorta thing.
After that, I've connected everything like intercooler, exhaust, oil cooler, etc. and filled her up with fluids and checked for leaks before I put the front bumper and lights and also tested the hood to check if it cleared the engine, which was a sucess!

After plugging the ECU, I fired the car up and inhales boi it sounds so good

And here it is the 2j in it's new place. Looks like it was meant to be in here

So, as you know, last Saturday (23rd) I've been in a drift event with my miata and Jorge went there also, and unfortunately his SR blew up 🙁 . I've driven the car all the way and when I was coming back to Madrid, I had to "tow" his 180 into a Tow Truck company which was parter with his insurance, so he didn't had to pay a dime. But enough of that, here is a picture that I took while I was waiting for Jorge because he got lost.

The drift event was awesome! The car handled so good and I couldn't put the old rims since the tyres were totaly flat and I didn't had time to put air on them because I woke up late, as always, but here is a pic of the car skiding

So that's all for now guys, next stop Germany! And hopefully I can check a possible new daily (??)

See ya!
