This. I looked for one for a week, found my more collage grille, and that ended that for me.

I can't even find a picture of that grill. Mine I kinda found by chance. But I might pick up a second for shits and grins.

[RB25GUY]

All i can say is wow! this is top notch man!!

[CamryOnBronze]

Pretty awesome. That red coupe was amazing... would love to find one like that. Keep up the good work.

PS- Might want to remove the photo of the turbo kit box with your address on it. Probably nothing to worry about, but I am paranoid haha.

[tricky_ab]

This is amazing! It's really coming together...

Thank you, I was planing on swapping the parts to it. But the turbo kit did not fit. The steering linkage was in the way of the wastegate. The only way to make it all work was to cut up the kit and modify it.

So a new chassis was the only way to go... I was bummed, it was a much cleaner car.

And the address, im not too worried about. its just where my mail is received. Car is nowhere near.

I had one lying around but my two-tone is tentatively for sale. Haven't added any parts to it :/

[AscendaShogun]

I love this so much, the attention to detail both inspires and motivates me to do more work to my car. <3

[Pblesh85]

I’ve been lacking on any updates... basically I’ve just been lazy and working and adulting.

Anyway I’ll update at some point today.

[astonmartian]

Amazing build man. Love the top notch parts and dedication over the years! Looking forward to seeing this on the road

[afishysilvia]

Bump for the struggle and all the myspace selfies. Lookin good!

[Pblesh85]

Photobucket is being dumb. I’ll get on an actual comp tonight.

[Pblesh85]

PART 11

So my computer took a crap, and my Photobucket is being dumb. So bear with me a little bit. This update is from my phone. I’ll try and make it as bast I can.

First off this is when the car was first finished.





First thing needed is an alignment.





Alignment all done, so off for a little drive.



Loving the black Greddy gauges vs the white face.



So took the car out and got a nice wash, adjusted ride height. So far I must say I’m pretty happy.









I ended up finding something a little unique. I paid A little bit more than I like to admit. But I must say ties the interior together quite nicely.







Don’t mind my ghetto little speaker. A radio will come later on.







So please tell me what you think so far.

[Pblesh85]

PART 12


So this update is mostly just driving the car, changing wheels, daily life stuff, simple little things.


So wintertime hit and I happen to enjoy snowboarding. I also don’t feel the need to have to take my truck up the mountain. The car is a bit more fun to take and you get a few more looks.

Trip 1



Trip 2



Trip 3
-also my birthday







Snowball to the face as we selfie




So on to a few sets of wheels and some test fitting.

Hmmm... what’s the set of wheels on the ground ?



Advan rg2 17x9 +22 square
Falken 615 235/40











Also testing these, picked them up for $400 locally with tires.







So I drove around on the rg2’s for a while with not much done to the car.

HOWEVER....

I did happen to have some exciting things happened in my life. I bought my first house





3 bed
2.5 bath
2 car plus garage with a 10x10 addition
3200 sqft
On half an acre that has water on it.

Not the most crazy place or most extravagant. But it’s nice and I got a good deal.

I know it’s not car related but I’m a little excited for a couple things that I was able to now get.

#1

A big hobby of mine is mixology



#2

One of the requirements for the house was a room that is 18 1/2‘ x 14 1/2‘ (the minimum size required for a 9 foot pool table)





#3

Last but not least, something that I wish I discovered when I was younger. I fell in love with climbing about 2.5 years ago. This I happened to build myself.

90° slab, left
30° to 90° top, center section
15° with crack, right

Wall goes up to 14ft







Anyway, some time past by...








I drove the car as my daily most of the time. Then, long story short. Hit a giant pothole on the freeway & punctured my tire. I threw my spare tire on and drove home, and notice that I happen to have some rubbing going on.

After some investigation this is what I find.





Yay, broken traction rod.

Well I called up gktech and bought replacements. I had to buy the v5(mine are v4). So I end up replacing both sides Because I’m OCD.









And since one of my tires was done for...

The r33 Gtr wheels go on









Well now we’re all pretty much caught up. The car is running fine minus electrical draw that I’m trying to track down.

Things to change on the car very soon:

-suspension changes(new coils)
-new wheel build
-battery to trunk so I can run a big battery again instead of a crappy race battery.
-seats.


So I hope that the car is to some of your liking. Your feedback is welcome.

Also the car will be tracked some point this year.

[ParkerVX]

fuck yea. such a sick story and build. Sick to see someone from the Tacoma area also!

[Pblesh85]

Thank you, I’ll have more updates soon.

I have a few parts waiting to go on. One or two pretty rare.

Are you in Tacoma or just from there ?

[Reece]

This car looks fantastic. Absolutely love the interior. Those pictures in the snow are sooooo cool.

[tuzzio]

You driving that car in the snow offended me.

Thanks Obama!

That’s ok, grip royal steering wheels, street faction wings, vinyl wrap cars, and the general state of most s chassis/people who own them offend me...

[codyzsilvia]

Some of the most fun I have ever had driving my Silvia daily has been in the snow... glad to see someone else driving it no matter the weather!!

[shaggyjake]

Would like to see more pictures of the house. Car looks good, too!

[EFITTZY]

Simple and tasteful. Love me a well executed two tone

[Po_31]

great builds
if you ever decided to sell the r33 wheels i would be very interested in buying them.

[future]

The chrome wheels make the car


Classy colors and chrome are a okay in ny books

Can’t tell if your being serious...

[Pblesh85]

As far as r33 wheels, they will not be sold.

However the rg2’s are for sale.



I do appreciate all the kind words though.

[240sx_sr20det]

Nice build! I'd be interested in the RG2's.

[qwerth]

Very nice build! and beautiful home!
