so after the swap was done my car stayed that way for quite some time. i was in school, trying to pay for drifting and stuff so not much happend. i drove it at drift day 20 and drift day 21 here are some pics from those. this is when i learned how to be really bad at drifing.





milwaukee mile: i didnt get much of a chance to go on the big boy track because i didnt bring enough tires because i'm stupid. but heres some gay pics from the pit. you can kind of see my engine. this is also where i met eric wortman and let him drive my car a few times.






like i said i didnt drive very much at this event, but this is where i learned what i was doing instead of just fucking up all the time and totally winging it. thanks to everyone who helped me out.

yeah sick build thread man.

ok now we are really getting into present day. i hope i can keep this thead going!

ok so then SUMMER CAME! yea everyone loves summer. first month of summer i was a lazy bum and didnt do much as far as living, i just kind of slept and worked out a lot and hung out with friends.

then i got a job. WHOA first time in my life when i had money. so whats the first thing i do?

BUY A BODY KIT!!!!

i got some BEAT UP fucking uras style aero from a cool guy in sheboygan WI. i spraypainted that shit to sorta match. the front bumper was kind of fucked so i didnt put it on.

heres what it kind of looked like



yea dude, sunk 15"s with aggressive aero. you are JEALOUS. shit was RAAAD.

that is it for tonight, i'm going to bed

Ha good shit. i like your style

nice!! loving the advans!!

so then i wanted a front bumper

the one i had was cracked, and i was all out of spray paint. so that was out of the question.

then i remembered i have David Lee's old front bumper that he blew up at shawano. I'LL PUT THAT SHIT BACK TOGETHER WITH DUCT TAPE AND ZIP TIES.

before:



WOW, 5 whole pieces. but at least we had MOST of it.

the result:



i drove around with that for a good 3 or 4 days before coming home after a long drive to find most of it...missing...whoops! i still have some of it left though.

the funny thing is that even though this origin bumper was in 5 pieces, when we put it back together it still fit pretty dang good, better than some of the other cheap aero kits ive seen.

Shits good Ryan, your well on your way....hope to see you at the next DD.

thanks trucky, who knows. i may be down that way earlier than that. i might be bringing my motor down to rockford to get fixed. maybe i can come by and chill with you guys. get a real experience of this thing you guys call a "street scene" we dont have shit like that out here in the sticks.

back on track. then i went to DD23. here are pictures.





i did a lot of spinouts at this event, i heard from people higher up that it had a lot to do with my alignment. but throughout the day i held some pretty decent lines when i WASNT fucking up.

as you can see nothing really happened to the car, still pretty much the same.

after this my aero was pretty trashed so i gave it to my friend in exchange for painting my car this winter. he's really good at fiberglass and was able to fix everything pretty easily.

meanwhile i bought new stuff.

works9 front and URAS sides and rear.



TEST FIT

i am not used to having a front bumper, i have to be way more careful




went for a test drive, when i got back home i had a boo boo trying to get into my driveway.

OOPS


after this i got scared and took my bumper back off for a while. i didnt want to TOTALLY fuck it up before it even gets paint

What color do u plan to paint the car?

umm, i THINK like. toyota thundercloud metallic (silver) with red flake. but i keep changing my mind and i am really open to anything that is COOL and UNIQUE. i dont want to be running around looking the same as someone else locally, ya know?

shortly after new aero came i also went widebody.



Origin fronts, fresh from TF, 20mm single vent


some cool 50mm rears that i got from JAY, they are carbon fiber!


yay, i managed to sink my wheels even more!

not for long though, i quickly upgraded to some cool 5 lug hubs and enkeis. 17x9.5 +18 all around. flushed them out with some 25mm spacers. STACKED in the rears. no pics of that though.





so with all this cool new aggressive stuff, my exhaust was REALLY falling behind. it didnt even extend far enough to clear my bumper. so i said FUCK MUFFLERS I WANT A LOUD CAR.

fresh from Aspec WAY over in californiaville.




they sound SICK.

then i decided to not be a pussy, so i put my front bumper back on. here are pics you have all seen.

I like what you have done with the car... Also good job on making it to events!

hope for a paint update soon..still using the advans?

dont you see the rpf1's?

and to bring this thread up to date.

on my way to DD24 on sunday i pulled a D*star and blew my shit up

trailor mode



fuck your coupe



there now we can discuss current issues.
