The American Dream, i guess...


May 3, 2019, 11:30 p.m.


We were out of the workshop, eating barbecue and drinking beer with the boys, talking about our projects, our lives, the trip to the USA, etc.
Ziga: Hey Frank, how was the trip?

Me: Quite exhausting and tiresome, 15 hours are not a little, added to the stress of the airport, and other things,
but I was very excited to come here, return to my lands and get to know this place.

Ziga: I'm glad you liked it, what did you think of our projects?

Me: I have not seen things like this for a long time, except for the 86 and the Supra, I was very intrigued to see them
but the rest of the time, I did not see things like the LS silverado, the chevelle, the sc300, they are things that are not there is in Japan,
well, the sc300 if it is like the Soarer, but a sc300 for drag I have not seen there, and the truth is that I love them.

Ziga: I'm glad you liked it, I hope you bring your Supra for a friendly drag battle! Hahaha

Me: Maybe I did, I wanted to do it but I could not do it because it's still illegal until next year,
And I'd like to register it here so we can use it.

Ziga: I understand, you could bring it without registering it but if you discover it in the port, you're fucked

Me: Exactly, and I do not want to lose that car, it's very special, besides that I leave a ton of money in it.

Ziga: It would be a shame if that happened, at least you bought a couple of cars,

Me: Yes, a 02 'Mustang GT and a 04' Jetta GLI VR6

Ziga: Good choice!
Me: Thank you, today at night or tomorrow they will have to arrive.
On another topic, Muzahid, sorry I could not say hello, but Happy Birthday friend, I see that here you received very well with your birthday gift.

Muzahid: Thanks Frank, yes, it was a very unexpected surprise, but very perfect.

Me: I imagine, that bmw is beautiful, ah, I have a gift for you ...

Muzahid: Where is it?

Me: I left it in the office, a big box,
don't open it until we are with you...

Muzahid : Okay

Me : Guys, come in.

We went to the office and we let him to open the box, the guys also don't know what i gave to Muza...

Me: 3, 2, 1, OPEN THE DAMN BOX

Muzahid: NO SHIT, ARE YOU SERIOUS? A GODDAMN TURBO UPGRADE?

Me: Happy birthday! Here you got two Stage 2 TD04RS Billet Turbos, they are capable of 730hp max with the adequate mods...

Muzahid: I can not believe it, thanks Frank!

Me: That's not all, keep checking, there are more boxes inside ...

Muzahid: This must be a joke, did you also give me an AEM Standalone?

Me: Of course, you need a good ecu to tune this bmw, and that's not all, keep looking

Muzahid: Also a Wideband AEM, a Front mount intercooler, fuel rail and injectors, my God, brother, you went to hell! Thank you.

Me: It's not all, one more thing is missing

Muzahid: There is a letter

Letter: "Muzahid, I wanted first of all to wish you happy birthday my friend, practically a brother,
thank you for always being from the beginning, for the moments lived.
And since I knew that the guys gave you that beautiful bimmer, I wanted to give you some little gifts to make it spicy!
Do not worry about what it costs all this, it's your gift, or gifts, I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for your brother, happy birthday.
Frank".

Muza: I'm fucking crying, thank you dude, thanks for all this and for all that I've lived.
Now get me a towel before I kick your ass, I do not want you to see me cry lol.

Yes, I gave him a lot of parts for the bmw to Muzahid, but they know that he deserves it.
He is a tremendous friend who was always there, with whom he spent many good times, so take this opportunity to give him a good gift.
I spent like 3500 dollars in parts, but i don't care, is for Muza...

After that we keep chatting until I get a call

Me: Frank on the phone, who speaks?
Call: It's the transporter, I'm in Oklahoma, where is the workshop?
Me: It's in *******************
Call: Ok, I'll be there in a little while, the Jetta has the dead battery so they'll have to push it.
Me: Ok, we're waiting for you.

10 minutes later we see the truck arrive.

Me: Hey, how are you? I'm Frank.
Chris: Nice to meet you, my name is Chris, let's see how to get the cars down, the mustang turns on, the jetta is dead
Me: Ok, let's get down the Mustang, and then we push the Jetta.

5 minutes later...


Me : Finally, the cars are here, how much i need to pay?
Chris : 500 dude.
Me : Okay, there you have, thank you.



The cars are finally in the workshop, I'm excited,



The mustang is in beautyful condition, runs great, and sounds AWESOME.
Here's a sound clip for you guys




And the Jetta, well the body is good, we put the stang battery and started, it runs good,
But it got the check engine light and some more, We think it's because the car ran out of battery, and the computer went crazy,
because we reviewed the codes and most said they failed by power cut.
we deleted them and only the check engine was left for two codes: a converter failure Catalytic and maintenance alert, nothing out of the ordinary.



I'm stoked!

Today there is a drifting event in the city, I will take advantage of the mustang.
So I try it as it behaves, but first I will have to go with Biggie to the scrapyard to buy wheels and tires that serve us.

Me: Hey biggie, I need wheels and tires for the mustang, for today's event, can we go in the Silverado?
Biggie: No problem, come on.



Me : Dude, this silverado is nice, also runs like a beast
Biggie : Thank you, i'm also surprised, but this truck haul ass with this ls

Me : Dude, i want so hard a truck now, and i need it for hauling my stuff and cars

Biggie : What are you thinking
Me : I always loved the F150 Lightning and the Dodge Ram SRT10 2 door since i was a child
And i want somethin like that, but they're so hard to find in good condition, damn.

Biggie : I understand you bro, maybe one day you will get it



7:00 am


We picked up the drift wheels and tyres, i spent around $250 to buy 4 wheels and tires,
Which will be useful for these days, also i checked the Mustang, the fluids are perfect, the brakes are fine, the suspension is soft but it's okay,
no leaks, the body and the chassis are great, so we're very good here.

btw biggie, i love this truck mane.



8:00 am



We left the cars ready for today



I've changed the battery of the Jetta for $ 30, i checked the fluids, brakes, and all was fine for driving today.
And I told my girlfriend to take the Jetta as a backup car, in case the mustang breaks or I'm so idiot to destroy the mustang...



I cleaned up the Mustang, made the last check to the engine, brakes, suspension and all was ready 2 go



Damn that this motherfucker looks badass



Also i hooned a little in the workshop, sorry Ziga, the mustang smelled a crowd and went full "omae wa mou shindeiru"
And we get into business...



The mustang drove so fucking good, it does not have a problem
The engine feels good, the transmission feels smooth and precise, the suspension is soft but nothing out of the ordinary, it is perfect.



The Jetta, oh boi, i'm surprised, my girlfriend said to me that the car drove perfect,
No rattles, no problems, the engine was strong, the transmission was as smooth as a baby ass, suspension was good, and it got good power, i'm surprised.



And also went to Mexico to hoon a little lol.


8:20am


We arrived to the track, all the cars were fine and ready.
I paid my 60$ for the inscription and like 150$ in gasoline for the entire day, swapped the wheels and ready to go!
Here are some pics





The car behaved really good, also take note that is an N/A 190RWHPish V8 2V 17 year old Boat with stock suspension.
The car needs suspension and angle kit, also needs a hydro ebrake and a update of the brakes, a short shifter and MORE POWER.
But today the car behaved really good, so far so good, now i have to get back to home.


4:30pm



The cars drove like it was another day, the mustang drove EXCELLENT, and the Jetta...
Perhaps it has almost 200k miles, it ran and drove like it was new, incredible. But now i have to prep the cars for some mods


May 7, 2019. 7:30 p.m.


It's been several days since Drift Day, and I want to tell you that the modifications to the Mustang have already started, here is a Photoshoot




Although at first glance it looks the same, there were several changes.
I bought a set of adjustable Coilovers in height and hardness with camber / caster plates for 800 $.
Which gives the height, rigidity and the camber I need, now it is handled so beautiful ,
Also i put an Hydro E-brake (it cot me 200$) with some like $150 dual caliper setup, now i can lock better the rear wheels.



LOOK AT THAT CAMBER DUUUUDE



This car is so beautyful and it handles better than ever, i love it!
Soon i will be putting a bucket seat and some other thing for making it better.
Also the jetta need some mods for track day, maybe some cheap coils and other shit, but that will be next time.
Now,i want to enjoy the Mustand, so until lext time, see you soon guys...
