Flat brim DC hats and White plastic framed sunglasses.

ITS A TRAP!

advans are dope but i like i diff model better. u suck dude i really wanted to see the stock wheels spaced out with that set up. its looked super fucking clean on the first pics. paint looked fresh ass hell. but it looks way diff now. can wait to see the rest of the build. hurry....

ok, whatever i'll keep going.

so its your lucky day, i found a pic of it with megans and AGX's, I also forgot to add i put an exhaust and window tint on somtime around then also.

it looked like this


super awesome drift race car.

at this point i had a kinda neat PERSONAL steering wheel that was really race car go cart style, it was tiny and suede and i got it from ASPEC all the way in california. well then i realized it was gay and bought this cool sparkly nardi for WAY too much money. it looks like this



yea so now that i was STYLIN, i realized my crappy suspension was not going to cut it if i was going to be the next koguchi. so i copied edgar because ive got mad bro love for him and bought THESE. i was actually going to buy his set the first time he put them for sale, but he never responded to my messages. it kind of broke my heart



i put them on in the fucking FREEZING cold, and accidently set the rear too low so i was dragging my exhaust on the ground, OH WELL, it looked sweet. here is a picture from that very SAME day



starting to look a little better

hey thanks for the comments, yea my paint was SUPER clean, usually stock maroon cars look like poop cuz no one takes care of them, the color is actually REALLY nice if it is clean.

i'll see if i can find a pic of stock wheels spaced. i could have sworn i snapped a few just to show the fitment.

oh shit spaced stockers haha
did you get your car fixed since dday?

refreshing to see someone's car that isn't trying to be part of d-squad or RR

keep the updates coming

time out, i would like to take a second to remember my first 240.

i was 16 i think and pretty stupid, or maybe 17 i dont know and really wanted a 240 as a project car because i had a cool civic daily. so i drove 12 hours to kentucky to pick up this piece of crap. auto, gold, brown interior, and barely running. thats a story for another day though

here is us in kentucky DEALING WITH FUCKING HILBILLIES, the guy i bought the car from was like 25 and couldnt count money, he had to have his mom do it for him. i was a baller back then so i paid for this car in CASH.



I daily drove this car for a couple months, rod knocking, i didnt care. i beat the shit out of it, "drifting" and what not in "preconstruction" housing developments and subdivisions, seriously this was straight out of tokyo drift shit. it was a ton of fun, my first rwd car.

i even FULLY built a CA18DET for this car. TOMEI forged internals and all, bored to almost 1.9 liters. skyline T3. fucking ready to rock.



but then i did this to the car.



whoops, so i sold that one to my friend. i spent all that money building a motor, and i lost interest and just left it at the machine shop, who knows if they still have it.

this car was then dubbed the gold samurai by my lame friends and i. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND.

i have nothing against them. all the guys i have met have been very cool and helpful. i just dont live in IL with all the cool kids so i dont have a cool crew with a cool name lol. i'm all alone in nowheresville, WI. my car will just never have the RAD vinyl that they do. i think i might be able to cope.

so theres my shout out to Dsquad and RD, you guys are cool and if you ever want to cuddle or go out for some ice cream let me know!

very nice keep it comin

Im not in RD or Dsquad, but can we still cuddle, and then you can buy me a Vanilla ice cream, maybe?

Do you have any pics of the car you currently have, and some more of the progress that you recently did.

umm where the fuck have you been? there are pics of his car all over the place. looks a lot like a rubiks cube. all sort of colors. shit looks hot tho.

ok i will.

so i wanted power. but i didnt know how. i just knew i did not want to finish that piece of trash CA18. so at first i wanted to go KA-T

i pieced together a 99% complete kit

then i changed my mind again and sold it all.

then i wanted to carbeurate the single cam because datsun guys were doing it and i thought that shit was cool

then like 2 days later i changed my mind again.

then i was like dang it looks like everyone that know what is up and is really good at drifting has an SR20DET engine, so i decided i wanted one.

this is where i met the famous D*star because we were thinking about trading chassis so he could have a stock car and i could have a cool SR race car. i went and test drove his car and it was really cool, we even clothes lined some old lady with his wing. it was a good time.

but then on my way home the next day, after almost getting lost in downtown chicago i put a hole or something in my KA and it was leaving puddles of oil everywhere, .

so i called up my BROS at Kasu Racing to do an SR swap STAT because i couldnt have my daily driver pulluting the enironment with sweet sweet 5w30. and my shit needed to be ready to go before the drift day.

now we are getting into recent times, so here is my poor baby at the shop getting hacked up

CYA



scrub a dub



as some rapper guy once said, SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN. rebuilt red top



you can see in one of those pics that sometime in between there i also got a racing seat, i think that was in march or april sometime.

lol wtf.... so is that a yes or a no on us cuddling together, because you have to let me know so i have time to get ready you know....

but yeah i just remembered i saw pics of it before... i saw the one of the car at the gas station with it red and white

lmao at save manties.

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?
