Hi
I'm new here, i'm Antonio an 18yo man and i live in Puglia(an Italian region), and i'm still searching for a car to build, but i will be making one soon I already made a message to Garage Nine for a cool import If anybody wants to sell me a car tho PM me UPDATE
So i've bought my very first car (Credits to Lagano for selling it to me) It's a Nissan Silvia S14 which apparently was F22 swapped(dunno why...). The car will be brought to my garage pretty soon. the car costed me 14000V$, so i have 6000V$ left for more mods I will upload some pics as soon as the car arrives here This post was edited by CarLover21 (2016-08-29 20:38, ago) |

YAY, the Silvia finally arrived at the garage
it looks really good but it had some awful decals that I removed right after it came at the garage. Here are some pics of her So yeah...here's my first car i'm going to do a lot of stuff on it: -first of all i'm gonna swap the engine cause I don't like the idea of a F22 in a Silvia.I'll probably get a SR20 or a VQ...we'll see -swapping rims probably with some volks -stripping the interior and getting a rollcage cause RACECAR BRO! I'm getting to work soon update in some hours. |

# CarLover21 : it looks really good but it had some awful decals that I removed right after it came at the garage.What do you mean, awful decals?! Well, i put them on because it matched the colour of the engine and seats. Now that you will swap the engine you won't really need it. You could change the seats as well, because yellow seats look kinda random now. Good luck with it, and be sure to make it faster with a new engine! |

GOOD NEWS
The interior is now stripped and i put the seats back cause i'm not changing them for now... my focus for now will be on the engine. Gonna find one soon. No account check on this post cause luckly stripping is free P.S: I already requested a license plate at the DMV so I will be hooning my Silvia on the streets |

Not really, 14k is more or less the price for a fully tuned s14, your was even using an honda motor so i'd say it isnt worth more than 4.5k tbh :D.
You could have simply bought one here for 6.8k( *LINK* ). Oh well, have fun with it anyways! |

# CarLover21 : Well I got fucked gg LaganoGotta make some money Yeah, maybe it was a bit too much but it's in mint condition. And that F22 has a lot of upgrades too. There aren't so many upgrades in game, i think it should have more than 300hp, and you'll make some money by selling it so you were not ripped off completely. It will be great for a drift car, it's almost done already, the front suspension arms have a lot of steering angle. And the coilovers and brakes are alright too. (and i see your pictures are getting better, good job) |

UPDATEHey guys, i thought that having only 1 car is pretty boring so i searched through the web and i found thisLINK It's a Fiat 128 with a lot of rust...i'd like to build a sleeper with it.I've called the seller and i've told him I don't want the engine and i managed to to remove 100 bucks from the price. So i borrowed a '94 civic vti from a friend of mine and i went to Pistoia to buy the car Update in a few hours |

UPDATESo I got to the garage where they're selling the 128 and it looks like this:Yeah i know it's a rust bucket, has no engine and has blown rear suspensions but i've decided to buy it anyway I honestly don't know what's gonna come out of this, but i hope it's something good. Added 2 minutes later: P.S. I checked the mail and one of it from my ebay account said my package with the VQ and rims is coming so I will be getting it as soon as possible |

UPDATESo this night I got the package at the docks with my rims and the engine for the Silvia.I got back home and I've decided to start building at 3:00AM So yeah my Silvia project is "partially" completed but not 100%, here are a few pics: Here is the VQ coming straight out of a JDM Fairlady Z33: Getting it into the bay Through the job i've noticed that how good is the S-chassis at swapping engine. Looks like it was made for it And putting back the front end... So yeah...the swap is complete I'm really tired but I'm happy to get ahead on the Silvia project. Further updates soon P.S. The 128 also arrived at the garage this night. We'll see what to do with it later |

UPDATEI'm beginning to work on the 128 and i've already bought the anti-rust molding, stripped everything from the chassis and prepared my sandblaster to remove the paint.After 2 hours of work this is how it looks like: So yeah in a few hours my 128 will be rust free I've also bought a rollcage, 2 OMP bucket seats and a drift steering wheel for the Silvia. this means that the car will be 80% complete tomorrow P.S. I'm getting broke |

Was it just surface rust or there are hokes somewhere? It looks pretty good tho.
Also, i'm wondering what color did you choose, i'd like to suggest a nice Giallo Positano[208], i think it fits really well.. but your car your choice |

If you paint it yellow, the seats from the Silvia will look great on it!

So i've been searching for a VQ35 Turbo kit and i've realized that they're all pretty much 5k+.
So yeah I'm too broke for that. Altough I got out the city for a quick illegal hoon since my Silvia is still not registered. And right now it's so good at drifting with only 300HP (I think). BURNING TYRES(not too much tho cause i'm broke and i can't get new ones...)This afternoon I also worked on my 128. Here is it after 4 hours of rust removal operations :DD It's been difficult cause there were a lot of holes, right betweed the body panels, but I did it I hope this car has potential to become a sleeper... Added 2 minutes later: # Lagano : If you paint it yellow, the seats from the Silvia will look great on it!Mmmh...I was thinking about selling them but I think this is a better idea. Though as I said to BigBoss there's a lot of stuff to do before that This post was edited by CarLover21 (2016-09-02 20:53, ago) |

UPDATESo my interior stuff for the Silvia is now installed and readyIt really looks like a full-spec drift car now. Here are some pics of the process I'm also searching for a engine to install on the 128. As soon as I bought it I wanted to buy a cheap Honda K series like a accord K24 and then getting a turbo kit. Well if I find something I will get you updated |

UPDATESince I can't buy a turbo kit for the Silvia, I'm spending my last money for some Wiseco high compression piston kit to install on the VQ.This pistons will give me a 11:1 comp ratio, so you are not able to install a turbo with those pistons, but they should give me some horses anyway. Well...I'm now officially broke
P.S. After this mod I will dyno the Silvia

UPDATEYesterday I installed the high compression piston kit on my Silvia and my paycheck arrivedIt took a lot of time since i had to strip everything from the engine to get to the pistons. Here are a few pics: When I finally got everything back on the car I went to dyno test it...and here's the sheet: It's always nice to have a linear NA powerband, tho a turbo kit would have been nicer I also think I will probably sell the Silvia cause it costed way too much initally and I'm broke, so I'm trying to get the max from it so I can begin a "reasonable" build... |

UPDATEI've bought a new car. I spotted an announce on which the owner was giving away a BMW 316i E36 for free so I went there and i've decided to get it.It's in pretty nice conditions tho and the owner was nice with me so i gave him 50V$ anyway for the car Here is it in the garage: It's just missing the front badge and the front mask. The engine runs but it's really underpowered. It's a 1.6L single cam with only a bit more than a 100hp so it's going straight out of the bay. The start of another project lel |
