my personal life, my project cars, my photos & motor-sport events.
A lot has been going on....
So it's been a while since I updated here, a lot of things have happened and things have changed. I took the 240 to it's first actual drift event (photos soon! I promise.) I bought a 1jz long block with intents on swapping it into my 240sx. Well while I was in the process of doing that a vehicle hit my daily driver so I've been back and forth with their insurance company trying to get the money to fix my car so everything related to the 240 was put on hold.
Well last week I was offered a trade for a built 94 Integra with a built jdm b18c type-r engine, I thought it over and took the deal. The 240 is in possession of the new owner and the Integra will be coming to me very soon. I also managed to purchase a 1986 Porsche 951 that had belonged to my father and decided to give it a new life under my ownership. It needs some love and a good bit of things fixed but that is what I'll be working on this winter and probably for a long while after that. Photos of both cars to come soon as I get to my computer.

Cut these the other day
Like the title says, went to my buddies work and cut these. Rainbow Flake Chrome vinyl is such a pain to cut at times... Have I think 3 left if someone wants them. $10/each shipped for 21" long ones. Comment if you want to buy one.

New wheels + 5 lug installed
New wheels are finally on as well as 5 lug swapped.
Blitz type 01R 17x8 +32 front 17x9 +35 rear with 215/45-17 all the way around. Ordered 15mm spacers for the front to bring the wheel further away from the strut. But for now here's how she sits.

SWD Pro AM Drift round 2 Finale
Just a quick video of the finale of the event, photos will be up after I go through and upload them.
wheels and 5 lug (rear for now) on
So Friday I awoke to a delivery by the trusty local ups truck, two nice big boxes we have here
so... whats in the boxes?
Ahhhh my Blitz Type 01 wheels have arrived! 17x9 +35 and 17x8 +32 are the sizes of these.
Everything loaded up and headed off to 1fifty1 Motorsports in Annapolis!
---
Went back to 1fifty1 Motorsports to get my wheels back from having tires mounted and balanced on them, just some used Bridgestones up front with Nankang NS-1 in the rear.
Also got to check out the owner of 1fifty1 Motorsports s13.5 180sx with the new custom 19" show wheels on it
From there, I went up to my buddy Jake's house to help him work on his s13 coupe which is getting a JZA70 1JZ-GTE swapped in it. When I got there, half the wiring was done by our friend Kiely who has the swap done on his R32 GTS-t.
tight fit much? to those that are planing on doing this swap, stay clear the fuck away from zerolift/ruckus racing mounts... unless you intend on not running a heater core, these mounts put the intake piping of the rear turbo RIGHT against the heater core making it impossible to keep the heater core unless you somehow relocate it...
Kiely the mad scientist at work
Oh hi PowerFC!
The car was running before sun down, now only needs Soarer R154 tri-pod looking shifter piece, driveshaft, and downpipe/crossover pipe

Sunday I finally got to work on my car, not much pics as I was too busy working on the car but the end result was 2 rear 5 lug hubs swapped on with new rotors and my wheels
now it just needs more low...
