Is that thing Dakar with a Daytona hood? Wow

Ah, I almost forgot. The whole reason I ended up passing by the E36. I took my E34 out to Road Atlanta for a little fun. There was only one really memorable moment.


^pooping my pants right here

^HAH! I MADE IT. And then I promptly spun out on the horseshoe.


My E34(I really should come up with a decent name for her..) will be out of service most of the weekend. She's getting coilovers and a couple other goodies I still need to pick up.

Right then. Time for bed. I'll get some shots of the E36 when I get up.

So, who do I have bribe with sexual relations to get a sig made around here?

I went ahead and picked up the Supra I've rented for Matsuri so I can just drive straight to the track tomorrow. I decided to take some pictures on the way home.




^This one didn't turn out quite as well as I had hoped... =/

Of course, I would
NEVER

EVER

DRIFT ON THE STREET!


Because that would be irresponsible.

(Oh, and if addie asks, all stunts were performed by a professional driver on a closed course!)

Ahahahah you gota carry on this story, looks awesome! x]

About to go to bed. Still haven't taken any proper shots of the E36... I'll get on that tomorrow. Heh, I got distracted by some other stuff. Any way, good night, all.

The coilovers came in yesterday! Unfortunately, my camera is conked out at the moment, so enjoy this stock photo!


^Mine have remote reservoirs, but this gives you a decent idea..


She'll be going up on jackstands once I get back from Matsuri!

So I won a Mk3 Supra in a raffle today.... It's got a 2JZ swapped in, and it's pretty nice. I'll go over it in more detail and put it up in the thread later. At the moment, I'm sitting at a hotel near the Matsuri. I went a little bit earlier, but I wasn't feeling well so I've come back here. I'll head back out later if I'm feeling better. I was seeing those damn flying cars again....

Anyway, here's a quick picture I snapped of the Supra.

Nice ride my man! Looking sweet!

So I've got the E34 up on jackstands now. Working on getting the coilovers on. It's going pretty smoothly. I should have it done by the end of the day!

Got the coilovers on earlier today. I've raised it back to about the ride height it was at on the Konis with H&R Springs. It doesn't look a lot different, so I probably won't bother taking pictures tonight.

Tomorrow I'll start on swapping the S50 back in to the E36. Still no pictures. I'll take it for a drive later to get some pictures, since I've been promising them since I bought it!

Finally got a shot of the E36 as she sat when I bought her. I've not really done any modding yet. I'll be pulling off the faux c/f roof and installing a carbon fiber sunroof/moonroof(What's the difference, by the way?).

A moonroof can't do anything but block the sun. pretty much
Sunroof's, electric moonroofs to let sun and sexyness in.

I don't really know how to explain it.

Plans for today are to get the V8 out of the E36 and get started on slipping the S50 back in.

I've pulled the S65 and racing transmission. The S50 will go in tomorrow with an OEM transmission and then we'll see what we have to fix to get it working properly.

Traded the race transmission out of the Supra to Kru for an '84 VW Rabbit shell. Aww yeahhh.

Got the S50 in to the E36, taking it for a shakedown in a bit. Going to test drive an FC.

Just got back from the drag strip with Darth mong! I had an absolute blast. We had some great races. I'll have some photos from that up later, as well as some photos of cars I haven't gotten around to photographing yet.


I've also taken delivery of the aforementioned RX-7. My garage has grown quite a lot over the past week or so. So many projects, so little money!

Loving the e34, such gangster cars imo.

Took the E34 and E36 out for a bit of fun at the drag strip! The T/A is driven by a pretty cool bloke that goes by the name of Mongy. He saw the taillights of the E34 pretty often, but when I ran the E36 against his T/A, the races were pretty close!


The closest margin in my E36 was .001 seconds. The ETs were 13.549 and 13.550. Of course, victory was mine! I had a blast and I'll definitely be going back soon.

Ill have to race ya when I get a bit more power out of my m3

My M3 is pushing around 330hp at the moment. It'll probably stay that way for a while.

Same here, looking to get around 400 out of mine but after taking it around Tsukuba for some laps it seems great as it is, although the car needs some ARB's and a updated diff I feel.

Hit me up whenever your online though

Not a whole lot of exciting stuff to report, but there is one thing. I joined up with the Team Spooky guys! I'm looking forward to hitting events with them and having lots of tandems/lag slaps.(Let's be honest, it'll mostly be lag slaps.)

I also picked up a KA24 from addie. I'll be building it up to put in a 240sx shell. I'm looking to hit around 330hp with a supercharger bolted on.
