You might be onto something with the no rear seat thing. And yes, it does look pretty lols. I think the camber will go back...

CamryOnBronze · 06-15-2011, 09:03 AM

So my good friend Mr. Kyle (Kyles1988) came out this weekend from Illinois. On Saturday night he snapped a couple of shots and we wired up my Pivot controller. Mine had been sitting on the shelf in the garage for about eight months- seeing his working on the red car inspired me, lol.

Kyle got some pretty cool shots for just messing around in the garage! His car is awesome- really made me want to paint my car red:

On Sunday, Kyle came out to a BBQ/Meet that I organized with a couple other guys from our local Michigan forum XceedSpeed.com. The main goal of the event was to raise money for Dai Yoshihara's RFJP.org campaign. Dai was gracious enough to hook me up with some shirts, FD programs, posters, and stickers signed by himself and the other five Falken Formula D drivers- pretty awesome!

We had a great turnout- much larger than we anticipated. We ended up having about 350-400 cars out and sold out of everything, including the shirts I designed for the event. In all, we were able to raise $1,700 for the relief efforts over there- pretty awesome! I spoke with Dai about it last night and he was pretty pumped- it's a really good feeling to be able to help the people out over there, even if it has only a small impact.

Here are a few shots that people took of our cars together at the event:

Whew, sorry about all the pics, lol. Lastly, here is a GoPro vid that Kyle did for me shot from inside my car on the way to the meet:

i commend you on your fundraising man, thats a really cool thing to do. your friend's red car is beautiful also

va240dude · 06-19-2011, 10:42 PM

Thanks for all your support for Japan Damon, we're still cleaning up tons here and need the support! Love the side by side shots of your car and Kyles, two of the cleanest koukis in North America at the moment! I wonder about Kyles rear camber setup though, he must go through tires like crazy-looks BOSS though!

S14-Jo! · 06-20-2011, 07:45 AM

Anywhere you can order those shirts??

chiboy002 · 06-20-2011, 12:35 PM

that flat olive green hatch is such an eyesore next to kyle and your cars

ixfxi · 06-20-2011, 03:40 PM

now this thread is about tee-shirts saving japan?

this thread is like "tease-porn".... everytime i get fooled thinking i'm going to see some action and all i see is a hot chick posing.

edit: i just watched the above video:
1) adjust your seat, sit properly
2) drive
3) DRIVE!!!

holemilk00 · 06-20-2011, 06:21 PM

My prediction for the next mods in this thread. Bumper vents and a roof wing.

kyles1988 · 06-20-2011, 06:24 PM

Doubtful but I am planning getting rid of the aforementioned things

Thanks Matt! I wish there was more I could do- I give you props for actually being over there and helping out in person! Kyle's car for sure looks awesome without a pull out back- makes me wish I never pulled mine. Aside from the tire issue of course, haha.

Unfortunately we only sold them at the event. I didn't expect them to sell very well outside of that with Michigan on them, haha. Dai is still selling his shirts over at Relief For Japan though! Pretty cool shirts for sure.

Lots of driving! I have put 4k miles on the car so far this season- and today is the first official day of summer! I am for sure driving it and enjoying the car rain or shine.

As for the seat, well... I like it like that. lol.

I had a roof wing on the car for about two weeks when it was Chuki, but I sold it. I'm not crazy about them on most Type X cars. I am fond of the N1 vents, though- but I don't think I will add them to my car.

Unless you're just saying that I copy Kyle's car, lol. Mine was put together before his- you'd have to accuse me of copying BH for that statement to work that way, haha. Still got your visors for you!

That's the dealership that Russell at NissanParts.cc operates out of- pretty funny! I hadn't seen that before, haha.

Now on to a small update...

CamryOnBronze · 06-21-2011, 10:52 AM

I haven't added/changed/purchased a lot of parts lately- I am feeling really content with the car and have been enjoying it a lot. Here are a few small goodies, though:

Pivot controller finally installed:

I got an awesome deal on some Cusco tension rods, RUCAs, and traction rods, so I had to pick them up. I'll probably toss them on and get another alignment later in the summer. I was against the whole hardcore/heim joint thing for a while, but it's not like it is much of a comfortable street car anymore. These parts will replace the SPC ones on the car currently:

I also found a crazy deal on a brand new in box GReddy radiator. The Koyo in the car was given to me for free from a friend shortly after I bought the car and is a little beat up, so I thought this would be a nice addition. I'll be installing it with my GReddy alternator pulley that I have had in the garage for months some time next week:

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a local charity show called Eyes on Design on Father's Day for the third time this year. It's an awesome show with a wide range of vehicles held in Grosse Point- always a good time.

Washing the car the night before the show:

Unfortunately, I ran over an exploded deer later that night driving home. I pulled out to pass someone, and the deer carcass came into view as soon as I cleared the car in front of me at about 85 MPH. I hit the deer dead center of my car, but somehow I managed to come out unscathed. I guess that is the beauty of an OEM lip! Lots of beef Jerky on the exhaust hangers and underside of the car, but I was very fortunate to come out like I did! I couldn't believe it.

Here are a couple snaps of the car at the show:

The grass was fun, haha:

A friend with an awesome R34 and I both got red "runner-up ribbons," and a very clean LSX swapped Starion won the blue ribbon for our class. I am not usually one for car show awards or shows in general, but this one was quite an honor- pretty cool!

Starion:

R34:

I'm heading to a small Nissan gathering this weekend, and then prepping the car for the trip to Import Alliance- not too long now! Getting pretty excited to head down there...

datpurpledrank · 06-21-2011, 10:59 AM

your car plus all the cars in the pictures jus made me

How much will you be wanting for the SPC arms?

4DOOR_LIFE · 06-22-2011, 01:45 AM

Such a high quality build. all this build thread needs to complete it is some action shots and drifting footage

holemilk00 · 06-22-2011, 06:20 AM

Nah, not copying by any means, just you and Kyle would make cute twinsies. You two could dress alike but just in different colors for IA too. We could take pics and make posters. It would be good times.

leave more room from cars ahead of you. at least you have good (better) headlights now.

well, thats kinda what i meant. from the quick glimpse of the video it seems you could benefit from more driving time, or possibly spending some seat time with an instructor as opposed to buying all those fancy jay-dee-emm parts.

towlie · 06-22-2011, 02:36 PM

I agree with ixfxi

There are some driving/drifting schools for a fee (of course) you are supplied with a car(s13) a course to your own, and a professional driver in the passenger seat.

Nothing but big open pavement, no worries of damaging your own car, and the best in advice you could ask for. Maybe look into some lapping days at your local track, or check out beginner drifting events (parking lots w/cones). Don't worry about fucking up, it's about having fun and learning your car

The video you posted was cool and all but not quite what we wanted...

Or maybe it's time you told us it's a show car and we can suck it, haha

Nice arms btw!

Show car no, but I'm pretty sure he has stated numerous times it's a street car. As for the sucking it, I'll let him answer that one

Edwin562 · 06-22-2011, 02:58 PM

i just noticed this..... your not running the turn signals... whys??? turn signals looks sooo tits on the type x front bumpers...

lflkajfj12123 · 06-22-2011, 04:26 PM

you've been misinformed

KiLLeR2001 · 06-22-2011, 04:46 PM

Some custom dual filament bulbs in the running light housings would be dope.

CamryOnBronze · 06-23-2011, 08:15 AM

Yeah, it's pretty much just a street car that occasionally hangs out at shows.

I prefer the D-Max position lamp/turn signals, but I can appreciate both looks depending on the car.
