Finally back

So, i'm back from the trip in Japan which took way longer than i planned, again. I don't mind that though, i stayed long enough to win a drift competition, participate in a sick S chassis meet and even buy a GTR!! The S chassis meet was an amazing event, even if S chassis are quite common both in Japan and USA it was something new seeing so many of them gathered in one place. I also met with many people from the forums here but i got caught up with Mr. Stance for a little longer cause we both had RB26 swapped cars. Unfortunately there are no pics of the event but i can tell you everyone had loads of fun there.

Anyway, i've been in the States for a few weeks now so some things have changed here too, first i checked out the shop in LA. There were 2 cars less, the FC RX7 was sold to Mr. Stance (same guy from who i bought it lol) and the E36 is now in South Korea. I wanted to drift the hell out of it but since i saw that 11000rpm was looking for one i wanted to help him out, i think BMWs in general are quite rare in Korea.

While i was in Japan, Brandon managed to get the Mark 2 registered! I was thinking to use it as my daily but i'll let him have fun with it for now.


My Chevelle was still there, i was so happy to see it after so much time! After some rest i drove it all the way back to Oklahoma because there are some projects still to do.


I brought the R32 with me and since the S14 wasn't old enough to import i decided to put it on sale. Check it out here!


And i finally took some time to work on the AE86 which is now drivable! Wheels are way too big now so i had to take off the fenders, these are just to get it rolling for now. I got a set of BC Racing coilovers and a used 2000 Celica GTS front big brake kit from eBay and found stock Celica rear brakes in a used part shop. *LINK* Before installing the brakes i cleaned them up and replaced the brake pads.


I also installed this hydraulic handbrake because why not.


I've never even tried to start the 3S until now, first it didn't start but then i saw that i forgot to connect some wires. Having all the running gear on, the 86 was ready to go! Sure, it's missing half of the body and it's not even painted yet but i just had to take it for a quick test drive around the block.


Another car that i haven't touched for a while is the Golf, now this has changed too. I decided to make a major change on it a long time ago but never got around to do it. First i put on Regamaster Evos that i brought from Japan and then i decided that it will no longer be TDI powered. Not sure what to swap in at the moment but i already tried something cause there was an engine still laying around in the garage. This was just a test fit, but what do you think?
