Hello there! My name is Jason and I just moved down to San Diego, California and I've decided to pick up my first car, a 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza, I picked it up for V$4,500 at a junkyard, the guy said there was a few problems internally. he also stated that it wont be too big of a fix, so I'll have to look into it, it overheated on my way back to the garage, but thats all, the cars body is in mint condition avoiding the hanging chrome bumper. I hope I have some time after work later to get

Nice! The whees really fill those arches well

I'll have to see how well the wheel arches handle them when I lower it XD.

So its been a rough few weeks and I decided to pick up a new edition to the family.

I've been looking at this car for quite some time and I finally got the gut to buy it. Here's my new Acura TSX.

Not much on it as you can see, just some tiny 17" rims and coilovers, the car is stock from what I know, and I'm not planning on doing much to it.

Also the Mercedes was left at the Garage at my workplace. Just been taking up too much space.

Thanks man! I'm looking for some 19's, just took the car to my workplace and topped up on fluids and new brake pads all around, gonna sleep here for the night and go take a run on the highway early in the morning.

Just got back from a long trip to my friend Boosted's house. My new wheels arrived a day before the trip was planned also, he had the tires and the lug nuts so I decided to drop by his place, and we sat up all night workin' on the TSX. I'll be headed back home in a few, got a couple of other things to do also.

Here is the TSX sitting on some new Work XSA 04c's, total price for wheels was a nice V$ 2,200.

I had a blast with you fam, I don't post my shit on here anymore because I'm taking some time away to enjoy non-car related things.

Very expensive but very nice rims, they fit your TSX really well. I think they would look better if they were black with a chrome lip. 😉

Haha, thanks man! I have some cash left over and I was looking at some cheap project cars, might get another set for one of those, very nice and well packaged rims I must say. Got alot of bubble wrap to pop. XD

Just picked up a new whip! A 1989 Nissan 240sx with a Imported Naturally Aspirated SR20, unusual for me to find a Naturally Aspirated SR20 in such a decent condition 240sx, the seller told me that the car has some problems running, so I might have to take a look into that. Unfortunate but it's still a steal for V$ 5,000.

For $5000 that's wayyyyy overpriced.

Shh. I know. 😛 I hope later plans with the engine and all will compensate for the trouble I'm currently going through.

"a steal"

So I've been in and out of school for the past week and during class I saw a Pignose bumper for the 240sx, and immediately texted the guy during class, mint condition, no scratches, he just said it was repainted red so I'm still not decided on the color of the 240sx as soon as I get it assembled, but it can wait. I also picked up a set of new 17x8 and 17x10 TSW Jaramas for a solid V$ 736.00 and with tires it was V$ 543.00 at a total cost of V$ 1,279.00. Totally worth it they look mint.

Looks like you have the same rims as i have on the Silvia! They look nice on your 240 too. And you should do a respray so the rest of the car will look mint as well. 🙂

I'm slowly building up the confidence to get the car primered and resprayed a different color, still missing my hood and lights, having a few problems finding those. :p but as soon as it's put together i'll be looking forward to getting that respray.

So i'm back with a quick update. The 240 has received a makeover.

A week after I posted last I had gotten a Turbo SR20 shipped from Japan and It arrived a week prior to that. Looking to get the N/A SR sold if anyone is interested. The custom rear fenders also came. I went to a friends and traded my TSW Jaramas for his Mint Green Work Equip 05's, they look good if you ask me XD. The car has also been primered for pain in a few weeks, still not sure what to paint the car.
