Silvia likes to party!! Progression Thread

[Pantaloons]

Was thinking of making a build thread... But this car has been through so much I decided to make a Progression Thread.

I bought my car in spring of 2008. At the time was my 5th S-chassis( ive had 14 S-chassis), I chose the Silvia because it was the cheapest option to get a rust free chassis.

So in 2008 the car started out as my daily driver/ weekend drift car. It had Stance coils, welded diff, Bee R dual tip exhaust and thats it

In 2009 I started doing alot more drift events. I also was Pit Crew for Dave Briggs in DMCC. We added a bunch of new parts to the car, OS Giken twin disk, 5 lug, Custom high mount setup, gt2871r etc etc

Decided to build race car
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/12843_201495578687_508438687_4097338_2603243_n.jpg





In 2010 we were building the car for DMCC Pro, alot of work needed to be done to turn my Street Car into a "race car"... Sponsors Joined the team such as, Auto Select Tuning, U2NDyno, Visual Sugar, Mississauga engines, JRP, Diamond one stop auto body..
we added even more parts... AST knuckles, new engine, external waste gate, AST turbo back exhaust, AST intercooler setup, Roll cage, Megan multi link, Sparco safety equipment, Kazz 2 way, new truck and trailer, etc etc



first thing was we stripped the car down, Then my buddy Pat Cyr and I put this sweet cage in my car.

painted the interior "East coast grey"

put a silly "bash bar". got the car tuned, made 386whp at 18psi after a U2NDyno tune.

Auto Select Tuning made me a sweet exhaust, here is just the tip.

So we finished the car early. a full month before DMCC round 1, the first event of XDC at Irwindale was going down a week after we tested my car out. So I flew down to California to help my Bro out in the Pits.


we did some site seeing
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/25329_429694883764_502358764_5435901_7098872_n.jpg

I sat on a cannon

We won round one XDC round one. (Daves first podium)

the next day we drove down to Willow springs and competed in just drift and took home 1st place again.


got home, Visual Sugar did a quick redo of the Sticker layout

So we get to DMCC round 1. we spent all our money getting the car to this point... so we cut corners and used, used tires... NEVER AGAIN IN COMPETITION... such a rookie mistake... on my fifth practice lap I entered in and had zero grip, for the life of me I couldn't slow the car down... leading to this...

We stayed up all night fixing the car at AV Fabrications in Laval, Quebec
at about 2am we had the car all back together. to only find out that we also blew the engine due to a throttle body screw.

the next day im sure you can tell how i was feeling...

We missed DMCC round 2. We partnered up with Mississauga Engine, they provided me with a stock rebuild and re fresh. Brought the car to DIAMOND to get pulled.

we got the car "fixed" and went out to test the new engine

We showed up to DMCC round 3 with this...

on my first qualifing lap I sheared 3rd gear. and we couldnt fix the car in
time.
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/dmcc2.jpg

Maintaining the car was killing me, i couldn't afford it with the job i had at the time. so i missed a few events and did some fun events. needed to get my confidence back..

cleaned the car up alittle bit... we added an external waste gate in hopes to make the car have more response. got it re tuned. it made 419whp at 20 psi
car was way more fun

now that all the comp stuff was over. i just wanted to have fun. we brought the car to Shannonville. i absolutely took all my anger on the car out on it this day. we both started respecting eachother. half way through the day i sheared another 3rd gear. so i drifted the rest of the day in 2nd and 4th

Some pictures didn't work.
Great build, car sounds good!

[Pantaloons]

hmm? how about now?

[Martino]

I miss our street nights.

[Pantaloons]

2011 came around. Our team learned a lot about car setup and basically opened my eyes to the world of Competitive drifting. Its a whole different ball game than just drifting a corner or two on the streets or track. We took what we learned and went out to build a even better car.
For 2011, Auto Select Tuning, U2NDyno, Mississauga Engines, DIAMOND one stop auto body, Visual Sugar and JRP Continued to support us!! And new to the team was HSD suspension, PRO racing fuels, Centerline motorsports and KENDA tire.


The Silvia got pretty messed up in 2010... So first off was to get the car straight. We dropped the car off at DIAMOND and put it on the frame machine.

we wanted to make the car easier to fix when we did crash. so I pulled out the Plasma cutter and started cutting. I ended up with a big hole where my car use to be. haha

We wanted to have more tq out of our Sr20. so we Sent the Engine over to Mississauga Engines and got a full rebuild, Eagle rods, 10:1 Arias pistons, new head gasket, shimmed oil pump, arp mains and head studs, new bearings, cut all the valves, new valve guides and seals, etc etc

10:1 pistons should help her down low

The rear end was done by Centerline motorsports

I made a pretty sweet rear fire wall using a piece of wood and a hammer

I decided to ditch the lame East coast grey interior, and went with something more my style

after the rear end was completed I gave it a quick coat of Satin black

then started assembling the fuel system

decided to ditch the old turbo setup in favor of a top mount t3 setup. We ended up using a Precision 5557 ball bearing and a precision 46mm wastegate
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/build/205699_10150216012928688_508438687_8578375_7271634 _n.jpg

after the turbo arrived. Auto Select Tuning went right to work designing the new turbo Setup. It turned out amazing.

With all the extra power. we Decided to do a Z32 transmission conversion. no more braking weak little girl sr transmissions for me.

Was time to the front end. I wanted to do bash bars because we all know the car liked to get banged up. So back to Centerline I went.

Since the front end was all completed the car went back to Auto Select Tuning for the intercooler setup. As always they did an amazing job. i really loved how it turned out.

Buttoned up everything on the car. we missed round 1 and 2 of DMCC because we didn't manage our time properly. BUT the car turned out great. didnt even have time to paint the car, But I liked the look. Visual Sugar cut us some quick stickers. Was supposed to be just a temp job.

So with one day left till we had to leave for DMCC Round 3. We brought the car to U2NDyno to get tuned. I remember being so excited, finally all the hard work will pay off... Dan started to do some pulls, The car sounded soooo healthy. it was making real good power. well over 400hp at 15psi. we were slowly stepping up the boost. Dan started doing a 19psi pull, at the end of the pull I hear a huge bang then the car starting sputtering... and the engine started to smoke... I know this sound I thought to myself, but I didnt think this could happen to my fresh engine. After further diagnosis I found that the Cyl 4 injector failed and leaned out the piston, melting it. it only had 50psi rather than the 190psi we started with...

I was pretty upset. We missed round 3...

I Needed to get the car fixed. It needed to be on the track to represent my Sponsors. My pistons are custom ordered and take 2 months to get. so I put together a stock engine with parts i had laying around. piston from this engine, rod from that, used bearing... MINT.....

I figured I cant wait around for 2 months, so we pulled the expensive paper weight out if the car, and put in this zombie graveyard engine in. I loaded the tune on from 2010 setup and slightly tuned it on the street...

So we head out to DMCC round 4. We havent drifted the car yet, havent tested the engine, we were soo prepared. :duh:

So we get there, unload everything, get my suit on and it just starts pouring! I remember thinking WTF. I hate driving in the rain... slow drifting is uncool...

But it only lasted about 20 mins and started clearing up.

So i get in the car and start driving to the grid. I was getting scared again, Last year I crashed the car real good my first event, so that was on my mind plus driving in front of thousands of fans does really hit you mentally. but once i got to the starting line and launched the car it all went away. I missed the car SO much. It was driving real good, the power was amazing, and it was quick. my tires sucked but whatever they were new.

We started qualifying. my first run was decent, i put down a good enough run to get up in the show. on my second run i went in pretty fast but had some bobbles here and there. but i ended up qualifying 9th.

In top 16 i went up against my Team mate Pat Cyr. he qualified higher so he lead, his car has alot of grip so he gaped me by a few cars but he wasnt loosing me. we finished the run. we both had errors but i was pumped.

On my lead run i went pretty fast into the first corner, but at the 4th clipping point Pat spun. but as i was crossing the last clip my car started spuddering again!! my car was full of smoke from tire and blown engine. they awarded pat the win for some reason. i still dont understand why but i wasnt worried about that. I was worried about the bad luck i was having with engines.

I did however won the Fastest entry award for that event. that was cool

With round 4 over we returned home and pulled off the head to see whats up. this is what we found.

we pulled the front cross member, pulled the lower part of the engine apart and removed the piston and rod.

within a few mins we put in a newish piston and rod.

I also got some rear Quarter damage from the last event. My Truck made quick work of that!

it was a quick fix and we were back running. DMCC round 5 was the next weekend, Drift ops was holding a drift event at shannonville so we decided to bring the car to try new suspension setups and stuff. We get there, pull the car out and start rippin.
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2011%20drift/314631_10150287000588137_501763136_7831668_8344356 _n.jpg

on maybe my 6th lap i was hitting limiter in third and all of a sudden a grenade went off in my engine bay. my drive train locked up. pieces of my engine covered the track. I broke a rod and it went right through the block...

http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2011%20drift/306276_10150287001158137_3562969_n.jpg

At this point I just laughed and grabbed a beer or 12, this car was killing me, I wanted to give up but I couldn't. I couldn't let my Sponsors down.

The engine was junk. head was toast. block was uhhh yeaaa... :bash:

So back home we went. on the way home I was calling around to source a short block. ended up finding one for $300 that needed bearings. Put new bearings in it. re used the apexi headgasket for the 7th time haha. and she was good as new.

Dmcc Round 5 was that weekend. it was our home track. Its a pretty technical track but i loved it.

DMCC vs XDC round 6

I Started using Kenda Tires at this event, they were such an improvement from the last tire i was using!!

This event was fun, my fastest entry speed was 88mph

this event sucked tho. this was the track i crashed at in 2010. but we wernt running that layout. it was also raining the whole event. on and off, we were switching from rain set up to dry all day. practice wasnt very long.

the hooptie SR was still running strong

I didnt do very well in qualifying. something like 16th out of 32.. but what ever.

my top 16 battle was weird. i absolutely destroyed my lead lap. on my follow lap i was close to him the whole time, he brake checked me on the transition soo hard i had to hit my brakes so i didnt hit him. I straightened, he got the win, thinking back i should have just hit him... oh well next time ;)

We had 3 weeks till the final round of DMCC so Pat Cyr and I decided to hit up Street Life Tour in Xenia Ohio

This was my favorite event of the year. I loved the track. loved the enviorment. finally putting faces to names. Plus the party was legit.

here is the rig arriving in Xenia Ohio at 5am, we drove all night, got breakfast

Lead lap was amazing, follow lap I spun. wasn't mad, time to party!!

[Pantaloons]

Great build. Really dislike the aero. But the beast sr makes up for it.

How do you keep breaking 3rd gear?


2012 brings new aero and new SR ;)


the 3rd gear would just shear. I would clutch kick and the gear was like later!!

[WanganNastyMachine]

Awesome thread man! Subscribing, I hope to see you at a local event sometime soon!

[Pantaloons]

I used a cometic once... it leaked after install...

[tunermt]

hell yes, great work haha great to see the change in style/progress of a build like this.

[Pantaloons]

Sorry I havent been updating, I have been extremely busy with the 2012 build!


DMCC round 7 weekend. Was in Quebec Canada at I Car, Easily one of my favorite layouts. I was entering with a 4th gear clutch kick against the wall and a little e brake to tune angle. it was the fastest entry of the entire year!

Practice was going great!.... untill my alternator quit on me, with no spares in sight we had to strap a booster pact to my car so i could continue to drive, it was a 2 day event so i was hoping to find one that night and fix the problem for competition the next day.

we head out back to practice, do some great runs, then my clutch started slipping!! I was thinking to myself (you got to be kidding me!!!). all the 4th gear clutch kicks took out the stage 5 clutch in 4 events, I was pissed but had to deal with it. we get the car back to the pits to pull the transmission, the clutch disk was toast and we didnt have a spare. We asked around and no one had one ( I swear when you dont need parts, every one has what you need) so with 20 mins before qualifications we had no alternator or clutch. we just pushed the car in the trailer and partied real hard that night.

2011 competition was done for me. My team mate Pat Cyr was heading to California for Formula drift round 7 at Irwindale, so i tagged along to help with the 8400km round trip. It wasnt my first time doing that drive or my last. I love Drifting because all of the road trips and seeing the country is pretty rad.

along the way we took a pit stop, here is me looking at some rocks

on the way to Cali we stopped for the night in vegas, after driving around we found the cheapest hotel in vegas at circus circus haha 32$ a night after taxes and it was DECENT!! spent the night partying, played some black jack won some cash.

so after this day i took a break from cars, too much cars gets old real fast. My break only lasted 2 weeks haha, had to start the 2012 build. the first event is April 21st!!

[freeagent3117]

Man you seriously have some bad luck with cars. Really good driver tho!!!

[BTplaya]

Keep up the good work. Subscribed for the 2012 season!

[Johnphen]

great job, subscribed! keep it up!

[ryandriftingfat]

I only have one complaint about your car: the wheels. Some colored wheels would really finish it IMO. Cool build otherwise though.

[Pantaloons]

I only have one complaint about your car: the wheels. Some colored wheels would really finish it IMO. Cool build otherwise though.

the wheel color was my first choice, but at the rime was the only color available.

I am actually selling them, but if i dont sell them ill just get them coated :)

[Pantaloons]

Ok so to get you up to speed on the 2012 build for the 2012 racing season.

We needed a New Engine for 2012, With everyone and there grandmother going V8 we decided to do so aswell.

























haha YEA RIGHT!! we kept the SR20!! WE LOVE SR'S!!!
My block was sent over to Mississauga engines with new rods, new pistons, all new arp hardware, new cams, springs blah blah blah

The head was ported to the max! Mississauga engines cut one on my scrap heads in half to check tolerances, The end product was the best flowing head you can have. The pistons, combustion chamber, exhaust and intake runners were all ceramic coated. to help spool the turbo. I wanted to raise the compression even more! I went with Arias 11:1 custom pistons.

here is our 11:1 pistons vs the stock 8.5:1 compression ratio pistons
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/291903_10150343349228688_508438687_9809699_7524890 _n.jpg



We knew we had a great car! but it wasn't reliable, Reliability is the Key to wining! so we decided to ditch the entire Electrical system. We decided to go with the AEM EMS4. its an universal standalone for 4cyl engines
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/421628_10150677330283688_508438687_11351302_349449 082_n.jpg


For the Chassis Harness, We decided to use a Painless unit for a trouble free install! Our New Sponsor AV Fabrications Helped us out with a Full Chassis and Engine harness! Using only the best! Raychem DR25 and Deutsch connectors EVERYWHERE!!

http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/424334_10150693632228688_508438687_11400010_594533 23_n.jpg

Here is the switch panel I made! thats right, this year we are using ANTI-LAG and 2 step launch control is for some fun ;)
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/399960_10150695559733688_508438687_11406104_780718 499_n.jpg

[anton1o]

Im really loving this read, You put so much effort into your cars and so much focus on the sponsors and getting back out there and not just calling it quits after all your bad luck.

I hope 2012 is better for you and the car runs reliable.

But i must wonder why did you go such high compression, Now that your going to have to run lower boost amounts your also going to need to make sure your engine cooling is spot on else you will cook the thing!
Also dont really see a need for Anti-Lag it definetly isnt going to help out with reliability lol!

[Pantaloons]

I only want to run 15-18 psi this year. We are using E85 so that will drastically lower temps and give us more low end tq.

the high compression ratio help with out of boost power. trying to make the car feel more like a boosted f20 S2000 engine.

as for the anti- lag, my new tuner has been tuning crazy SR swapped cars for over a decade and knows secrets to make these things more reliable then then your hand on a lonely night ;)

getting rid of the ignition cut will also help reliability and the new 1100cc injectors will give it all the fuel it needs
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/417978_10150677904638688_508438687_11352842_104887 4740_n.jpg

we also sent exhaust components out to get ceramic coated to help spool the turbo

here it is after I sandblasted them
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/418015_10150655467713688_508438687_11293580_343115 9_n.jpg

here they are after, BLING!!!

Ah sick man, I would of expected 18PSI will be nice on a turbo off that size with your compression, seems like you guys have got everything checked off nicely E85 will really give you some great results!!

Is E85 via Pump over there available or do you guys get it via Drum to get a better consistency with it?

I expect a dyno sheet when done, cant wait to see this thing :D

[240KAR]

Sooooooo glad you didn't go V8 man.... my heart sank when I read that. Favorite thread by far! good luck this season man! digging the new engine! SR>anything

[InsTanCeZ]

Dude, get some solid lifters if you don't already have them, it should make your engine a lot more reliable, and it will be able to rev up to like 9,000 rpm. lol

[JDM SPUG]

I always liked the Kouki front on an S13 coupe. looks good.

[Pantaloons]

the head is fully built. the engine is capable of 9000 rpm but we keep it at 8000- 8200 rpm for reliability issues

the E85 is available all across America at the pumps. but in Canada there is only 4 places to get it, and one place is 4 hours away from my house.

But luckily enough we travel to the States pretty often, so it isnt a big deal :)

[d-what?]

I almost cried when you said you were going v8, sooo glad it was just a joke.

[I<3-SR20DET]

LOLed way hard at the pictures of you looking at rocks AHAHAHAHA

we went off to find a donor rear end
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/IMG-20120121-00188.jpg

cut it off
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/IMG-20120121-00190.jpg

and brought it home
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/IMG-20120121-00192.jpg

got the car to the shop and cut my old busted rear end off, i like this look haha
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/IMG-20120122-00194.jpg


I though might as well make the rear end removable, so we made it bolt on

[tunermt]

getting rid of the ignition cut will also help reliability
do you mean getting rid of fuel cut and using an ignition cut instead???

Great choice with the EMS 4 so damn small those things are sexy. I would be using that as well for my sr20 E30 but needed a few extra outputs it just didn't have so ended up with V2 aem. Great build, work and determination my friend, most importantly it sounds like you are having a good time throughout the entire experience.

[240 sideways]

Wow, 20 more days! I forsee greatness, and expect some more dope-ness to dream about, oh and more pictures of you and Dave briggs, damn cute... rofl jk, wish you the sickest season yet, and better luck with parts! sick thread man, keep up the good work!

[Pantaloons]

do you mean getting rid of fuel cut and using an ignition cut instead???


I use to have a power fc. and the ignition cut would pop rockers often. we are using a fuel cut this year to help with rocker issue. we will also raise the rev limiter

[Pantaloons]

We wanted the car too look good this year. So we decided to get some LS1 in this build

LS1 the color code ;)
First off, was to drop the car off at Diamond One stop auto
http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q592/getloosedrift/2012%20build/427398_10150654590218688_508438687_11291099_646656 629_n.jpg

You sir are my hero. This is truly an inspiring build, I don't think many people take into consideration what goes into building/up keeping a car like this, and the fact that you stayed SR threw the ups and downs made me love you all the more ha. Best of luck this year. Hope to see you at Kilkare again.

[Pantaloons]

How'd you end up getting sponsored? Awesome thread btw and that video omg you sir can drive.
