I found a missile car. A old BMW E30! Pretty much missing everything but it was cheap! First thing I did was take out the engine and send it to be refurbished. Yup no weird swaps here, its a base model so its got a little four banger.
It had drum brakes on the rear so first thing was switch it discs. Suspension was decent so I left it in. I also got mismatched wheels because MISSILE. I got some parts from some kid in Valolist that was rear ended and parting his car. Also got the engine back with some mods on it and placed installed it right away. Used the stock exhaust and installed some beaks. Welded some bars to make the chassis stronger and threw in a old recaro seat I had on the shop. Smells kinda funny too. And here it is, the complete mess. I might take it for a spin and take some pics later. I dont plan on swapping the engine but I MIGHT turbo/supercharge it later down the road. |

# Driftphantom : @dxg a track official snapped this on his way up the stairs, do you want your paint back? New rims for the Fiero. I also tried to spraypaint the front bumper xD I guess, YEAH I WANT MY PAINT BACK! You want yours too?? XD Someone drunk tried to sign their name on the rear bumper... Didn't go too well (Actually tried to write "back off" in digits, but dey is blurry lol) I really like the front wheels on it. and the car is actually starting to look like a Missile now! |

Here's my crashed Jetta
Thanks to dxg, who towed my dead car home. I decided to check the damage... The whole thing collapsed. Rear tire was busted and engine had fallen off. I stripped it's parts and sold them, and then I sold the chassis to a junkyard. So, I took the Cadriftlac for a spin, see if I can find anything new, and I saw something abusive. It's a Skyline R31. Poor thing. At first, it's owner denied to sell it to me, but money works magic kids. So I towed it home decided to see how well the engine performed. Half of it was missing. I had no idea what I was getting into. So I decided to strip it, remove the broken muffler and lift it up. I removed the tires, only to reveal some custom shocks and springs. I'll keep the shocks and the springs. Then I removed the whole suspension system and sold it, along with the broken body parts. I fitted in new suspension system and brakes, and completed the engine. It's a twin turbo engine, with super high RPM camshafts and new air filtering system. Then I found a donor car for parts. It was a literary unsaveable Skyline. So I took it's fenders. Then I took it out for a spin at Akina's Downhill. And on the way home, I found an abandoned door Added 2 hours 32 minutes later: So a shop was giving away it's stuff, since it was closing, and that's how I found the last parts missing. I primer'd the chassis and the parts. The car is now read for painting. I decided to paint it red. I fit the parts back in, and now this is my daily driver. But then, I found this VW Rabbit MK1 chassis sitting on a junkyard, and I was really wondering if it would be a better idea to make it my daily driver. Oh well, long story short I bought it, restored it, and now I'm trying to decide which one would be better for a daily driver. Meanwhile, my Lotus Esprit chassis arrived! I won it from an auction on eBay! I began work on it, and kinda copied dxg's idea with the exhaust pipes... Yep. I took the wheels from the Cadriftlac and put them in the Esprit. Unfortunately, the 2JZ didn't fit in. So, this is how it is right now. It has no engine, and I'm waiting for my Devil's V6 engine to be delivered.

Lil update, talked to few people at a meet and discovered someone got Honda ITR rims and nice stretched tires for 400$, got them and send the car to paint shop for a classy Yellow Racing
Got the car back after some days, this the result, I found a dealer of originals Honda parts and asked him for Type R badges and wing. I got an idea to swap the front into 98 Civic... |

The parts from Japan came in! A fastback roof kit, a rear bumper, a left sideskirt and a widening kit for the back.
Looks good to me. I guess I'll paint it dark green like British Racing Green. |

# Coprone : YEAAAAH! Who told Japanese junkyards are awful? My brother found this from a junkyard & imported it to 'murica. It's Toyota JZX110 9th gen. It has a 2JZ swap! well the engine is half but whatever. I managed to get few fitting parts for engine now & suspension parts. I'll post whole text shit tomorrowHere's the info I had to post. Looks like it had been a street race/drift car, built from stock to tuned! Instead of stock 1JZ of these usually have, it's with tuned 2JZ! My car has now some random cut springs, some slick tires & whole engine working now. Sadly I don't know the past history of that vehicle & it's owner, but he/she have worked a lot on this beast... Added 59 minutes later: and some pics when brother was drifting with it This post was edited by Coprone (2014-11-27 16:19, ago) |

With winter upon Valo its time for 4wd and thanks to dxg1997 for buying that GS340 i now have the money to buy....
I didn't have to haggle them down on the price or anything $6500 I believe is fair for it to have a burned out turbo and mild body damage. I got it back to the garage and listed what all needed to be done. First things first...the thrashed turbo, and the garbage exhaust that i didn't know was leaking until later! I decided i'm gonna to go ahead and upgrade intake and exhaust manifolds with the turbo and exhaust upgrades. So that order is placed! NOW onto this big ass dent that is eating my tire on right turns. I don't really want to spend any more money than i need to but its seems to damaged to repair, soooo....ONWARD TO THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALERSHIP for a replacement. Next step is to do something about the suspension and braking, then maybe interior. |

I managed to sell my COPRONE AS HELL Golf & the 2JZX110 for damn good price! And... I bought a AE86 (Toyota Sprinter Trueno) from my brother's "junkyard"! It's almost everything stock, but has few exterior changes & again very changed suspension. But it does not have a engine, me & my brother have a crazy idea doing a RB26/30DETT (2turbo) swap on it :3

Got some Recaro seats...
...a muffler... ...and a OMP steering wheel I also traded a spare 2JZ cylinder head for a 1985 Corolla Levin. Or rather whats left of it. The engine is still there and runs on 2 and a half cylinders. Couldn't run it for too long since there is no radiator. Maybe I'll make a wannabe-racecar out of it... |

Finally got a engine in my "AE26" (later going to be named AE26DETT), bought a stock RB26. It fits quite good, but had to do small edits. It has RWD transmission, so it was much easier to fit this car. When it was swapped, I took a test-drive without exhaust pipe at all, screamed like HELL! (in a good meaning) Story about the cable ties... I had to remove front bumper to do engine fitting measures, but broke the screwing holes. And after that I drove off the rear bumper with a goddamn forklift. That's why both are "JDM'ed"

So finally the E34 got resprayed to a new sexy color. Before painting the car i bought a few Pre-Facelift parts for the Bimmer which you can see in the pics. Having said that, now all the fun begins putting everything back in their place and getting the engine as well as other goodies for it.

So the Devil's V6 arrived, along with new parts. Mmmmhm!
Took it out for a spin at Tsukuba. This thing slided like butter, but the wheels kept scrapping the fender! So, when I got home, I removed the wheels, and gave them back to their owner. That's right, the Cadriftlac lives! Took it out to see how it actually drifts. Everyone was looking at it like they've never seen a car before. I got a little cocky and crashed it a bit, but isn't that what gives it the "Missile" look? Also, on the way home, I picked up new shoes for the Midship... Those wheels are smaller, so I had the opportunity to lower it too! Fiero, beware! |

So I sold the Viper Hellsnake and Scion FRS Rolling Chassis' and got a shitload of money for them.
Viper ~$84,000 FRS ~$15,000 Total profit? $99,000 Whatever shall I do? I actually plan on making my M3 GTR into a serious racer. Twin turbos, large spoiler, racing lip on front, diffuser on rear... the works. its gonna be SWEET!! Also, @Facepalm, nah man, I left a little bit ago. My next trip is actually gonna be to the legendary Nurburgring with the Corolla, M3, Civic and GTR. I can send the Fiero over to you if you wanna drive it for a while. I'll be flying over Japan anyways, so just drop the Fiero off on the way, and take the rest of the cars to Germany. If anyone wants to meet up there, I'll pay for fuel and food, but not airfare! xD Added 1 minute later: I'll be in Japan about a week from when I get home from Germany, so I'll build up another missile before then and try that out maybe at Akina, Horse Thief, Bihoku, Nikko, or Akagi. I don't know which yet. Maybe just a road trip to all them! |
