3/29/18- You supposed to be a judge breh???
Hey what's up guys just a little update! Currently, I am still out here in Japan as we just have finished the 2nd round of competition. Unfortunately, I was sick the day of round 2, so I wasn't able to make it out to Ebisu. Fret not though, as I did get some track time after.. After watching all the guys compete I definely got the drift bug again, so much so that I had to pick up ANOTHER car just so i could slide wile on this little vacation. Everyone, say hello to my new S13 So this is my new 91 Silvia! She looks so lovely in white and the sr20de pulls incredibly strong. As it sits, the car only has 78,000km on the clock which is awesome and it is in fantastic condition. As for upgrades the car doesn't really have any, It is on some sort of aftermarket Springs, as well as modified knuckles up front. Somebody was obviously trying to get ready to drift, but decided to leave the car alone. Can't say I will do the same lol! I will see yall in round 3! And who knows, maybe I will be able to tandem with some of you during practice PS: I picked up some hot boi bits for the UCF10 that i can't wait to put on when i get home! |

6/21/2019- Look who is back!Hey everybody! It has been a minute since i posted on here so I figured I would update you guys on life: In this photo you can tell that 2 major things have happend.. I have moved.. Annd the Prius and the Celisor are both gone! This is a result of me having to move unexpectedly. As it currently sits I am still in California but I am not quite sure for how much longer.. This final picture for today is a nice butt shot of my BRZ Limited that I have been kicking around for about a year now since selling the other cars. for V$18,000 and just over 37k miles on the clock (at the time) It has been a fun daily and I have managed to keep it unmodified. I have put about 20k on it though so the Odometer is now reading 58,877 Miles. Since buying the car i was able to keep the car stock and as a daily driver. now that I am back, it may be time to change all that.. Or maybe it is time for a real Project car again! Current Balance: V$7,400 Toyota Sales: V$7,000 (Prius); V$6,500 (ucf10) some paydays: (940 x 63 weeks) V$59,220 new 2015 BRZ: V$18,000 New Total: 62,120 |

Ayy you're finally back too! You've had quite a few of BRZs, GT86s and whatnot, as this one looks super clean i'd keep it that way but it will probably end up ridiculously low like the other ones

Thank you guys for all the kind words! I can honestly say that I am glad to be back with such an awesome group.
6/22/19- This is what you chose?What's up guys back in here with another update. I told you the other day i was possibly looking for another car to add to the collect and possibly turn into a project while i daily this BRZ. Well today was that day, as I was able to go pick up said car today... You can already see it in the background.. so let me Introduce you to my new F355 Berlinetta! Manufactured for export to the US in 1998, this is one of the cleanest Ferrari I have been fortunate enough to drive.. hell, it might be the ONLY Ferrari and i got this thing for a steal as well. It was only listed at V$59,000. I had to jump on it! (PS: the mileage might have played a role, as it does have 13,100 miles on the clock} This is actually one of the models with the hydraulically actuated manual transmission, or to put in regualr people terms the "F1 Style" Paddle shift box. The trasmission shifts smooth as butter. The car has had an amazing service history as well, as it has only been maintained by the original Ferrari dealer that it was purchased from. And of course you know I had to take this baby out for a spin.. without plates. The V8 screams as you shoot down the highway like some early 2000s superstar. This car really does take me back to a simpler time and I can't wait to bring it to meets, shows, and go on cruises in it! Well that is it for now, will update soon when more things start going down! Balance: V$62,120 Vehicle Acquired: 1998 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta V$59,000 New Balance: V$3,120 |

Oh yes one of the best Ferraris ever!
And because it's a used Fezza, no need to worry about Maranello boys being pesky on what are you going to do with it |

Nice 355, last of the best sounding Ferraris,but isn't the F1 Gearbox the "Achilles Heel" of these spec'd 355s don't they just get knackered when pushed too hard and knowing you, your cars get "driven", hope this is one of the GOD BLESSED specs that have no issues.

@Crazy Eighty Eight you would be correct about the gearbox it is very "particular" with how you drive it lol. But looking over the service records, this seems to be the original transmission and it recently had service done so it should be okay for now! I will be keeping an eye on it, cause that is one V$15k job I don't want to do right now
6/25/19 - Shaking hands with rich peopleHey guys just throwing a little update on the 355 today as she is now registered and road worthy! I finally understand what all the hype was about when it comes to these older Ferrari as each time I drive this one I become more infatuated with it. Pretty soon it will be ready to go under the knife.. which leads me to this trip to the city I took today.. With the purchase of my very first Ferrari, I was invited onto the California Ferrari Club's main forum (yes, people still use those). It was here I made contact with a gentlemen named Randal, an avid collector of pre and post 2000s Ferraris alike. We met at the local art Gallery and discussed pricing on a very particular part that i want to get my hands on for the 355.. but that will be a story upon receiving Delivery of said item.. P.S: I need help fixing my AA using this new intel any ideas? |

Well this was a surprise! Great find my man, it was cheap considering such low mileage because some examples can even go up to V$100k! It's good that you got in touch with the owners club too, buying a Ferrari definitely introduces you to a great community. As Crazy said do be careful with that transmission, other than that just enjoy the ride

# Soju : Nice find! Never seen F355s with the greyscale color, I like it! Thanks man! She's pretty alright lmao # Benny : Nice buy mate, we need to go for a cruise.....ehm as soon as I fix my submarine.... Hell yeah man it has been a minute! come on by anytime I'll DM you the new address! 6/26/18- OOO.. Carbon rare stuff!now that i got the whole back end torn apart it time to unveil the new part! A few years back, Randal had these cool ass Carbon Fiber rear Garnish Panels created with the hopes of selling them to the other F355 owners. Most of them declined unfortunately, so his new found business venture was cut short. This lead to a "your loss my gain" situation, as i was able to get my hands on one of these panels for a HEFTY discount, coming in right at V$600. I think it adds an Amazing look to the over all style of the car. It went on fairly easy as well, which is always a big help knowing your parts fit. What do you guys think? In addition to that, I also have some custom coilovers being made.. but that is for next time lol. Also if anyone is looking for the BRZ it is still here lol. She is still on daily duty but she will recieve love soon enough.. Current Balance: V$3,140 Carbon Fiber Garnish: V$600 Payday: V$940 New Balance: V$3,440 |
