| Updatezzz Had a great time at the Matsuri. Met some old friends as well as making a ton of new ones. I even won a seibon hood for the S13 and a HKS FMIC for an SR Oh, and I missed my S14...so I bought another one I saw it sitting at the Tsukuba graveyard (Yeah, stealing Michael's idea) after the Matsuri ended. Honestly, it wasn't much. It was the lowest model of the S14s, so it was running a SR20DE, destroyed front end, the coilovers were seized so it was pretty much stuck with that awful monster truck height, and for some reason it was running a 4lug hub off an S13 on some really sketchy rotas. Apparently it was one of the cars that Addie was giving away, but the winner didn't really want it. Addie had no idea what he was gonna with so I offered to take it off his hands. Originally he offered me $2500, but talked him into letting me borrow Jiro to fix this mess and I'll take it for $3000. Next day, we got the car trailered to Jiro's shop to restore the poor S14. Jiro fixed the front end, as well as cleaned up the small dents and scratches While I installed the ichiba 5lug conversion. We were able to fix the coilovers by soaking them with a TON of PB blaster and smashing it with a rubber mallet over and over. We were able to trade the SR20DE and some other misc. car parts for a blacktop SR Wrap it up with some new wheels, stickers, and drop it to the floor and TADA! Not as flashy as my last S14, but I love how it sits at the moment and it'll probably stay that way. | |

| I'm gonna miss PB Blaster here in Cali. Back in NY I used it all the time, worked great. Same with CRC Brakleen. The low VOC stuff is all you can get out here, costs about the same but you need to use nearly twice as much and it takes ages!
In California they think every single thing in the world causes cancer. I'm not joking. There are signs literally everywhere that say stuff like, "This elevator contains paint known to cause cancer in the state of California", like it wouldn't anywhere else? Crazy health junkies out here, I swear. | |

| Check it dudes. An update. So theres supposed to be a Silvia meet this weekend. One of the guys I recently met, Coty really wanted to participate. Problem was, he was lacking an s-chassis. So I let him borrow the vert. I'm guessing he liked it because he was gunning it down my neighborhood... Anyway, I really missed my old IS300, so after weeks and weeks of calling like 30 different people, I was able to find RyanHappyHands, who was the current owner of the car. Besides driving it once or twice and peeling off the pink cheetah vinyl thing that Addie previously had on it, its been sitting in his garage the whole time since hes had it. And of course within 5 minutes of buying it back, I ruined the front bumper... So I decided to purchase a C-west front bumper. Car looked funky wearing mismatched aero so I sprung a bit more to get matching skirts and rear bumper as well. Tires that were on it had a bunch of flatspots from not being driven in so long so I replaced them with my 5zigens which had a much better fitment than the fikse anyway. Finally, I decided to respray the car red. Kinda funny how most of my recent cars are red now... | |

| Haha, always liked how the IS looked in red.
Cougar and Callum, sure. Gonna be a few hours though. Otherwise, I sent it to VW as well so perhaps you could ask him?
Also, Idk if the body parts stay off like the FC :l | |

| Finally picked up another S13 hatch awhile back off Cougar. Twas a pretty clean car. Basically stock other than the welded diff, Kei Office coilovers, and a set of pretty rare super advans. Tbh, wasn't really a fan of the wheels. On this car anyway. So I swapped them for the enkeis that were on my SC Cut a few wires for the sleepy eye mod. Also tinted had the headlights tinted blue. Looking to purchase OEM Type X aero in the future. I already have an SR, but won't be able to drop it in since I picked up a second job so no time to do it yet Yep, thats it. | |

| Haha, if you wanna try go for it. Gonna be straight up with you though, I'm pretty picky and am somewhat a perfectionist.
Preferably the Origin front and whatever else body parts that can replicate the Type X decent. | |
