| welcome to my horizon garage yes i finally hit colorado on what turned out to be a great afternoon, and i had already lined up a car to look at it was a nice stock s15 and when i rocked up it was even better than what i had seen in the pictures he sent me it was immaculately maintained. so pretty much straight away i handed him what he wanted for it which was 16k we shook hands signed the papers n got my new keys, then i got directions off him to the nearest petrol station and thought why not fill it up and take it for a spin, now i hadnt organised anywhere to stay so it was off to a friends house that i knew lived around where i was all i had to do was find it knew it was on gladstone drive somewhere so i drove around for a bit and there it was with the blue evo out front dragz place, we had a look at the cars for a bit n stuff n then i was too tired so it was onto the couch for me before i knew it i passed out didnt even get a chance to take any pics of the new ride, lol nissan S-15 silvia - Spoiler:

| so after staying at dragz house for about a week or so while i got all my money and furniture transferred and sorted i thought to myself geez maybe i better start looking for a house so it was off to buy the paper and i wasnt far out of the driveway when i spotted a auction going on up the street so i walked up the massive driveway which gets shared with another two places i got up there to have a look see if it was worth it or not upon getting up there i realised it was a gorgeous place neatly hidden away in the back of gladstone, it had a double garage out front with enough room for 2 or 3 visitor parking, and all the obvious things you would need in a house. it even had a great guest room in case anyone stayed over, so i stayed to watch the grueling auction and i thought this place would go for a bundle and i only had 250k to spend on a house but to my suprise nobody even made a bid and after it was over the real estate agent asked if anyone would like to make an offer to just see him about it, so i walked up and asked him what price range the owners wanted for the house as i didnt want to offend them by immediately offering my 250k as the house was worth alot more IMO, but he replied with "the owners just want it gone they inherited it and have no need for it", so i said "ok offer them my 250k and if they are happy with that i can sign a cheque right now and they will never have to look at it again" 2 minutes later he was back WITH THE PAPERWORK it was a deal all i had to do was sign which i did straight away then we shook hands and it was done and now i am a happy resident of gladstone drive just down the road from dragz and a few of the other guys, so after letting dragz know i wouldnt be staying there anymore although i wouldnt be far away anyway. i rang the movers and got them to deliver all my stuff to my new house. after that i cruised down got some take away for dinner then come home and crashed on the couch heres a pic i snapped before it got to dark p.s sorry for the long update

| so after waking up early last monday morning after finalising all the house paperwork on the sunday i decided its time to get a job i may have a house and car but of course there will be other things ill need, straight away mechanic jumps into my mind, so it was off for a drive to see what was around after stopping in carson for some breakfast i spotted a small little workshop on the corner called DR DRIFT which specialised in jdm cars and drift cars , im guessing it was small due to the lack of jdm cars around, so i pulled in and had a chat to the bloke, dave his name was we chatted for about half hour just about my s15 and how he was so glad he had found someone who owned a jdm car as he owned a nice 240sx which usually it sits there more than it gets driven ,i told him i know a few ppl that drive jdm and euro and that if he done good work on my car that id be happy to refer them to him, he then asked me if i do any mechanics myself as he had spotted that i had modded my s15 a little i told him i was fully qualified and most of my experience came with jdm and euro cars but i could also do a muscle car as well, straight away he asked if i was looking for full time work as he was looking for someone i jumped on the offer straight away so now whenever you drive past DR DRIFT in carson dont be afraid to stop in for a quote or even to say hi here is the s15 in her current glory at front of work with a set of brand new 19inch WORK cRkai rims which were ordered in and then wrapped in achilles 235/40/19 and also i swapped out the sr20det for a bone stock rb26dett that we had at work all up it cost me a bit but now it is going and looking the goods this pic was just before leaving work on friday first day driving it with the rb26 in it, also got rego plates to suit as well update again soon | |

| ok so time for another update sorry the workshop has been a bit flat out with the moving of the workshop and also i moved house again as i figured the house i had was way too big for me and the money could really be used elsewhere, UPDATE 1 - Spoiler:
so anyway i was at a cafe on lunch browsing the paper for a new house which i found a decent suitable house in beaumont for a nice a price to go look at, so after work i headed down in the s15 and as i pulled up noticed i had been here before, it was right next door to ballers house geez what a small world lol, but it only made me want the place more, so i went in had a look and it was perfect ,a nice small double story house very cosy feel to it in what looked to be a good neighbourhood, it had a double garage as well and a alleyway rear entry it was great so i got down to making an offer, and after what i got from selling my other place 200k they said they wouldnt go far off that so i made the nice offer of 189k and it was a done deal , i already had my boss dave organised with his personal truck to pick up my stuff from my old place so it was just a matter of ringing him up and telling him to drop my stuff straight here instead of it going into storage, heres a snap i took of daves truck at my new place i love his f-100
UPDATE 2 - Spoiler:
so after dave doing me the favour of helping me move in to my new house he rocks up at my new place and asks me if i will help him relocate the shop to its new location in bunker, of course i said yes, but did joke about saying no to him cause i cbf'd lol he came way to early in the morning, so after having a coffee we headed to the old workshop in carson and started packing up the work truck and daves personal ute up and also having a few movers take the things we couldnt load, like the dyno machine etc after everything was packed and we said our goodbyes to the old workshop and the cafe next door we headed down to bunker and upon arrival into the town i thought geez this workshop will be worse than the last one which was to small but we actually got the best looking place in bunker pretty big compared to the last one as well there is a few other shops around but they didnt look as good visual wise, so we moved everything in and got a few of the main things sorted like power, and setting up the tools and compressor again, then dave turns and asks if i just wanna head back to his n crash on his couch for the night, and of course being tired as hell i took up his offer and just left the work truck at work and went with dave to his place when we got to daves i thought yeah sweet as a fellow man cave thinking dave was single, HOWEVER this was not the case i walked in and was greeted by daves wife julie and there stunning daughter krystal who was around my age wasnt sure if she was single but i didnt see a ring , dave turns to me and says i thought i would introduce you to my wife julie who will be doing the books at work and krystal who will also be helping out here and there, julie had made a great lamb roast for dinner for us all dave had obviously planned this as my plate was at the table when i got there, so we ate and all got to know each other over dinner julie had been doing part time waitressing at a cafe but was sick of it and was just waiting for the workshop to pick up so she could work there full time, krystal is a part time hairdresser also into cars who is now finished her studying and needs more work she reckons, and dave as i found out is a family man who's ambition has been his workshop which is now just getting into full swing, after dinner and a nice talk i was too buggered to do anything else but go to bed and sleep so i got dave to show me where i was sleeping and he took me to the guest room where i pretty much just fell asleep soon as i jumped into bed. upon waking up in the morning julie had made an awesome big breakfast for us all, and after me and dave were done he asked me if i wanted the day off today as i was pretty sure he did as well although we would still go to the shop to finish setting up a few things, so it was decided i asked krystal if she could give me a lift home as she was on her way out to work anyway we went out to the driveway and she had this cool little v-dub corrado with ats mags on it as her daily it went quite well anyway we got back to mine and as i was getting out she handed me a lil piece of paper with her number on it saying you might need this if you want to take me out sometime, i was pretty stoked to say the least ,but also thought maybe i better make sure this is ok with dave before i do, anyways i went inside had a shower n stuff then it was off again to the workshop so i hopped in the s15 and cruised down there, upon arrival a few of the other workshop owners in the area came over to greet us and ended up having a bbq and showing off each others cars, then as me n dave started to setup the other guys jumped straight up and said sweet lets do it n get it done and finally have a decent drift shop in bunker, before we knew an hour later pretty much everything was setup the way we wanted it, the guys were great so i offered myself up and said im going to get drinks and meat for us all and we can have a good old drink up and a bqq for dinner to say thanks, so after a few drinks and a feed at the end of the night me and dave were about to leave when i called him over and asked would it be ok if i took his daughter out once i got to know her a bit more, and at first i thought he was going to punch my lights out, but then he just laughs at me and says yeah good luck with that diva, i was happy to get his approval on that at least so i would wait a bit then ask her out , so all in all it was a great first day at the workshop even though no work got done to any car whatsoever,also i need a new set of tyres for the s15 now, heres a pic of the new workshop nothing much to look at but we do great work and have alot more room now heres a pic dave snapped of me frying the tyres on the s15 at the end of the night before i left
UPDATE 3 - Spoiler:
i got home after having a great first day at the new shop lil tipsy still so had a shower to freshen up and finally sat down to read the paper again to browse the cars section as i had 11k spare from the house sale still in the bank and was looking for a nice cruiser then there it was the first one i had seen for sale in colorado since i got here a 1973 mazda rx3 in what looked to be pristine condition so next morning off it was to go and have a look dave and i got there and the guy wasnt wrong this beast looked like it had been rebuilt with every nut n bolt replaced on it, perfect paint redone in nice stock white, and the nice stock rotor buzzing idle, even stock wheels, i immediately wanted it but the guy knew what he had there and wanted 15k for it. i kindly asked if we could come to a compromise, after all he knew i would look after it as he saw the s15 sittin pretty with the rb in it so i asked if he would do it for 11k cash he ummed an ahhed a bit but then finally agreed, i was wrapped as all i had to do was sign the papers and it was mine, then i got the boss dave to jump in the s15 and cruise it back to my joint while i followed with the rx3 just slowly cruising it home i was pretty suprised by the amount of people that would actually pull up next to me just admire it in its standard form it gets more looks than the s15 atm heres a snap i got of the rx3 when i rocked up to look at the beast
more updates soon | |

| @dragz cheers man, ok a very small update been busy with alot of thing but got the rx-3 into the paint booth and got down to painting it, picked a nice glossy blue over black two tone for it, and got a couple of stickers for it as well as ordering in a nice set of brand new tenzo r RS-5 in a stunnin gold with a chrome lip, it now looks nice and subtle i just had to snap a pic on the first drive of course, it still sits on modified stock suspension(aka sports suspension ) and still sits with a standard engine and gearbox, its a cruiser atm but i have some big plans for it, thinking of going highly modified street car, not sure on engine choice yet though, also i was thinking of selling the s15 to fund this project although i may just save up for it and have both anyways here the pic of the freshly painted rx3 | |

| finally time for another update, - Spoiler:
so after having a fair few dramas past couple weeks at dr drift hq where i was was working at, me and dave decided to go our seperate ways, i dont think he liked the fact me and his daughter didnt work out also he wasnt happy that i had sent the rx-3 to 6.siks.6 to be painted, even though i done it myself at 6.siks.6 (but he doesnt know that ), anyways we decided to go our seperate ways, so straight away i rang a good mate phatballer who was also my next door neighbour he is owner of 6.siks.6 and i asked if he had any room for me to work there,so we chatted for a bit n he decided yes and explained we would use our garages as a base for 6.siks.6 we both have double garage's and between our houses there is more than enough parking space for customer cars and meets etc, so i offered my garages as the tuning mechanical side of things as i already have a dyno machine in there but will also use it for parts storage, installation etc, and most likely phatballer's garages will be used for painting and bodywork etc, as he has all the goods for that. so now that work was sorted and i had moved everthing back from my old work to home where i now would be working from, it was time to look around for a decent engine for my rx-3 the 12a in it was just lacking to much power. So after searching around i found a bloke who was wrecking a rx-7 completely smashed in the rear, which had a beautiful stock 13B-rew which was phresh as so after chatting and doing a bit of haggling i handed him the cash and rang up to organise transport for it, upon arguing with the person on the phone about them having no vans available for a quick transport, a bloke tapped me on the shoulder and asked where i would like to have it transported to, i let him know that i lived in beaumont and wanted it there and almost straight away he offered to drop it off for me right now if i wanted to follow him, so of course i accepted then it was a matter of just following him to mine after getting to mine and getting the engine out of the van it was almost immediately put onto the engine stand for inspection, after giving it a thorough service and that, it was out with the stock 12a, and in with the phresh 13B-REW after tooling around with it for a while finally got it kicked over and almost immediately put it on the dyno for a tune, it was pushing the stock 195kw, with a nice 294.2nm of torque, took it out for a spin and with a stock 4speed gearbox now it will happily snap 3rd gear if i want it to but still am far from finished with it heres a quick pic i snapped while out on the first cruise with the phresh engine,
ill update again soon, most likely add another ride to the garage | |

| ok another update, also iv decided i will be adding in what day im doing what with my story etc - Spoiler:
WEDNESDAY: so past couple of days in between work and other stuff i have been in contact with the junkyard to see what projects they had lying around, bloke on the phone tells me he has a 67 vw beetle sitting there at first i thought no way, it would be a moneypit but after getting a few photos sent over it actually looked alright, someone had done a decent job starting to restore it as it had a front cut off a different beetle welded on which hadnt been painted still in primer, but was put on perfect all the welds were smoothed over, it also had new tailights i presume from another beetle as they arent in production anymore, anyways i thought maybe with some paint and a lil tlc it would make a great daily or weekender, so we chatted for a while and we ended up coming to an agreement that he would deliver it to my house for 8k if i wanted, so with the cash sitting there ready it was pretty much a done deal i told him to drop it off whenever he had a chance, - Spoiler:
THURSDAY: so the next day comes and while i was out in the garage dyno tuning the rx-3, i hear a truck pull up the alley, i thought it would be maybe someone moving out, but it was my beetle on the back of the tow truck, i was stoked i didnt expect to see it so soon, first thing i noticed about it was damn it is low as hell, it was a PITA to get off the tow truck, i thought for sure someones chopped up the suspension to make it sit low as possible and just stuck a tein suspension sticker on it for looks, but upon getting it into the garage and inspecting underneath it for rust n stuff i found no rust, but sitting in there holding the chassis so low was a set of customised tein fully adjustable coilovers front and rear i was like OMG how could someone junk this project, then upon taking the front wheel off to replace a flat tyre i found a beautiful harrop big brake package also installed, i was happy as at this point although i still had to organise an engine for it, which the junkyard bloke let me know where i might be able to find one, anyways with the beetle finally resting out the front of home waiting for some attention, and it being tea time i though id just call it a day and head inside and get up fresh n early tommorow to run around looking for an engine and organising bits n pieces for it, i did however slap a bnb sticker on it as i had to make it truly mine lol anyway heres a few quick pics i snapped of it

| so another update done some spending and got into some mischief FRIDAY: - Spoiler:
so while i was online the other night trying to track down an engine for the beetle i came across an ad which had a smashed smashed scirocco r available for wrecking, so i made the call enquired about the engine and before i knew it i was on my way to have a look at what the engine was like, i grabbed my keys to the S-15 as it was feeling a little unloved lately, saw phatty on the way out told him to keep an eye on the house as i had to rush out for a while. So i cruised down there and we spoke for a little bit about the engine, and what sort of deal we could come to since id be a regular customer from now on considering i own my beetle, we came to an agreement on the 2.0l TSI engine, so i told him i would be back tommorrow to pick it up with a car more suitable to transport it as there was no way i was putting that dirty engine near my S-15. so i was casually driving the S-15 back home and out of nowhere some young douche came flying around the corner in what i presume was mummy and daddys nice new bmw, he lost control almost instantly upon entry and ran into two other cars travelling on the opposite side of the road causing me to swerve and hit a nice big thick powerpole, i thought it was the end of my S-15 i got out of the car in a total rage immediately ran over to the bmw and dragged the young kid out by the scruff of his neck he immediately started crying screaming that his dad was going to kill him as he had just bought the car new. I couldnt hit the poor kid he was alreay going to cop it off his parents, i felt sorry for him as i know that feeling all to well. i looked over at the bmw and it was certain that it was a write off, i told him not to worry bout it and that it would all get sorted soon enough, 5 minutes later his dad pulled up and got out nearly crying at the sight of his brand new car wrecked, his dad came over to me and asked if i was gonna lay charges and i replied i wont as long as i get re-imbursed for my car, his reply was dont worry i will have the car fixed better than new he seemed like a genuine guy so i took his number and said ill be in touch. anyways after what turned out to be a stressful day i finally arrived home in a taxi with the s-15 following closely on the tow truck, and once home decided i might as well give the S-15 some tlc i couldnt stand seeing it in that poor state. So online i went ordering parts from my supplier all overnight delivery so that i could get straight to work in the morning on the S-15, heres a pic of the S-15 after i got it home after the accident.
