Figured it's been over a year and maybe I should post an update on all these cars. It's gotten completely out of hand.

First I bought a C7 Z06. Always wanted one and I feel like it's going to forever be the best Corvette ever made since they are all automatic and mid engine now. It's an absolute blast to drive.


Next I also picked up a wild project. GD Subaru WRX with a Built M52 Turbo. Rear wheel drive street car. After TONS of changes it's now finally where I wanted it. Made 510whp with 500tq at 3k rpm. It's a blast to drive.





The FD is finally finished and painted. Every time I look at this car I can't believe it's mine. It's so exotic and fabulous. The injectors took a shit last track day but besides that it's been so fast and reliable.






The VQ swap S13 has been sitting. I put a cage in it before All Star Bash and that came out great. I might be selling this car, can't decide.

And of course the LS7 S13 is still alive and kicking. Swapped from wisefab back to part shop max. Full limit break kit and sway bars. It's so much faster. It puts the power to the ground so much better than the wisefab did. I think it's a combination of the sway bars and the GKTech antisquat pick up adjustment that I did that really changed the car.


A few friends and I also purchased a car at Ebisu and went to Japan earlier in 2020. Can't wait to go back



Also had a C5 for a minute but I sold it. Way too many projects.



Looking forward to driving a lot more. Hopefully everyone is doing well. Post up if you want to see more about any of these builds.

You have the PBM rear knuckle? I'm surprised the geometry is compatible with the GKTech antisquat kit. I would think that they wouldn't function well together.

It does. The arms have plenty of adjustability and range that they can accommodate the drop in pick up point.

Good to see this car still alive. More action shots are always welcome!

Once I get to drive it again for sure. Clutch slave went out and it needs a new front bumper and fenders because I drove with someone I shouldn't have.

Figured in honor of Zilvia being back up I can post an update on the car situation.

First and foremost I'm still way into cars. No kids or nagging wives to kill my builds lol. I've still got the same S13, though with a bunch of new updates.

Dropped the wisefab and went part shop max limit break angle all around and with the gktech roll center correction on the rear subframe and the sway bars the car has picked up a lot of traction. I'm planning on competing a bit more this year!




Still have the FD with the 1JZ. It's been fantastic and I haven't had to change much.



I also picked up a RX8. This has turned into an epically stupid project. Currently finishing up putting a Honda K24 with a Garrett G660 turbo in it. It's supposed to be a "inexpensive" party car. It's quickly turned into anything but cheap. I wouldn't recommend the K24 swap to anyone hoping to save money. It's getting close and I'm real excited about it.




Also picked up a Corolla as a street car. It's be a nightmare as well but it's finally where I want it to be besides exterior. 20v swapped and just fantastic.





Still have the C7 Z06. Haven't driven it so much as the tire cost is killing me but it's still really fucking fun.




Got a bunch of offroad toys. KTM E-XC and the Alta are so much fun. Electric is the future, gas is dead. Also got the Polaris 900xc.




Still have the Subaru with the M52 turbo as well. I upgraded the turbo from a G660 to a G770 hoping for a bit more power and smoother power band. Unfortunately we had a cooling system failure and that caused a head gasket failure on the dyno so it's on the back burner until I finish the RX8. Not giving up on it, it's pretty silly.





Overall I have way too much going on. Glad zilvia is back, hopefully to stay. Let me know if these images don't work. I stopped paying for image hosting forever ago so lets hope google photos works.
