I say start hitting the track to get some of that nostalgic feeling back, because it seems that's what you're really missing. Put the money you've put into the car to use on the track for some good shits and giggles.

Seriously, fuck the "scene." Enjoy your cars.

Dumping a metric shit ton of money into making your car fast as shit and then NOT taking it to the track and just putting around on the street is a recipie for burnout.

WTB (borrow): pair of 5-lug rollers beeyatch!

Hey any of you 818 bishes got a pair of 5-lug wheels with useable tires that I could borrow for a week or so? I've gotta take my stances off to ship them and my giant 245/45/17's will absolutely not clear my old strut and spring set-up. The koni's are not quite done yet so I need something to roll on for a week or so.

EDIT: Oh ya, if you've got some hit me up (818)916-3025.

Jimmy took my set of 3000GT wheels with tires, but I still got some old 5 luggers laying around in back if you wanna borrow them (and if they fit).
I got a single 16 inch meshie, some old 16 inch MK3 Supra wheels, and some 15 inch Toyota (FWD) wheels with good tires. Hit me up with an ideal size and I'll check to see if I have any laying around.

Yup, track time is what you really need.
I sometimes feel bored with 240's and after the whole tokyo drift thing, I felt like getting outta the whole "scene" too.
But track time gets me all excited and giggly again.

Thank you AL.

Chris,
Don't take a nap! Flock it!

Okay, on a serious note, The crate engine has finally arrived.
We're so frustrated with the whole engine rebuild so Louis coughed up a couple of grand and got the entire V6 kit.

Engine bay is prepped and we ran the harness today, as well as the custom x-member and motor mounts.

^^ We are still going to Rebuild the KA's as planned but in the mean time, we will put it aside since it is going to take some time.

We have everything disassembled and going to get the block and head heat tanked soon.

Hey does anyone have a spare T-Mobile phone??

I broke my phone's LCD last week while working on a HONDA!
Please let me know if you have an old phone that uses T-mobile SIM.

I'd like to buy it for a few bucks or trade for hugs. Or Free would be nice.

Let me know if anyone is interested in joining me for a little TECH Day.
You can work on your car and fix any issues you may have.
There is plenty of room in the full cemented backyard.

If you're interested I will be up and start TECHING at 9am.

Please PM me if you'd like to attend. There is enough room for at least 5-10 people and cars.

Dude,

If I only knew earlier ... Carlo and I took my engine out, Im planning on something else for my track car.

Driftage: Dude, you do get burned out after a build. Like everybody said, enjoy your car. Thats the only reason I still have my s chassis.


See all you guys on wed.

peace!

Chris, good to hear you enjoyed your vaca. Did you bring back any Canadian goodies?

Carlo, let me know when you're ready. I got a few guys lined up so hopefully it goes quick.

lol @ the VQ. Neither of you have the patience for the wiring. I'm pretty sure I know what it is, but I'll hold my tongue for the time being. Silly Wabbitz.

I've had a very productive weekend. If all goes to plan I'll finally have a garage to myself soon. Need to finish my car, but I'm not as worried as I used to be about it.

Al, soon as I have time brother. Juggling so many things right now that I want to be able to come by and just do everything at a good relaxed pace so that we can enjoy some beers together.

Rich and Randy, where you guys at? I hardly ever see Randy online or even at the meets (when I do show up lol). Hope you guys are doing well.

Emersson, I've been seeing you post up about quotes on SR swaps. When is this going to happen?

Ryan, what route? RB?

1. Engine + Tranny
2. Custom x member
3. Custom Tranny Member
4. Wiring is already done for 240sx.
5. Stock VQ ECU
6. All the brackets
7. Driveshaft 1 piece alum.
8. Clutch system kit.
9. Ignition kit
10. And others.

This is when he pulled the engine.



SOme parts that came with the swap.

^^ Pretty much it's all plug and play

We don't have to do much because it comes with everything already done.
In addition, we have the guy to help us install it.
