And so begins my next chapter...

[FreeThinker]

As many of you already know, my daily driver and regular drift car were recently totalled when a tree fell in front of me while driving during hurricane Frances ( I was WELL south of the main storm area).

Here are some pictures of the car and the vehicles to join me in my future drifting adventures.

In all it's glory.

Sadness.

I'm a lucky bastard to be sitting here typing this

So I had to choose between buying another Bav. Auto or showing some love to a neglected Nissan project.

Ok, looks like a lot of BMW parts are going to be for sale. :)
Off to the secret garage!!!-------------------------------------------------

My daily transport for the last week, hehehehehehe
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/freethinker41/DSC01243sm.jpg

Rental cars rule!!!!! Well, the reason I have this POS sucks... but rentals rule nontheless!!

I put Colin McRae to shame yesterday and I think this monster makes like 30hp to the wheels after the power wanders it's way through what I'm sure is Koreas finest slushbox EVER.. not :lol:

And this is after a good spraying to loosen everything up...

FYI, I had an Altima for a week before the Kia and all I can say is QR POWER!! Maybe Nissan got the e-throttle a lil wrong, but that car just couldn't stop spinning the tires from traffic lights. And in the dirt? WRC here I come!! The car looked like I had driven it through a 4ft deep mud hole...... and then backed through it again for good measure. Unfrtunately no pics :(

But all good things must come to an end and so the Kia and Altima I'm sure are much relieved to be sitting safely back on Enterprise's lot.

Behold the future:

This is my new daily driver while the Nissan get's finished, but fear not, the Previa will be VIP soon after the 240 is done and I fully intend to rock the drift with it. Details are still in the air, but I'm heavily leaning for JZ power ;)

Kit will be something similar to picture below but 100% black and less ridiculous bumpers.

No sideways pics of the van?
What gives?

[FreeThinker]

Heh, yea forgot to mention that I already took the van out on some wet seal-kote and it slides pretty good.

Came back with camera to get video and pics but someone must have called the cops, cause there was a cruiser staking out the empty lot.


Anyway, here's a pic of the plan for the S13.

Hehe....things of this nature have already been discussed.
IMO, he's better off taking the fat check and feeding it to the s13 and the VH.
....just don't flip that beast trying to get a picture :)

Yea I considered buying it from the insurance company; they wanted like 1,800 though and it has a certificate of destruction becuase it was declared a total. Basically it can never be registered as a street car again. I'm pretty sure the frame is still straight though, just you gotta cut the roof off to relieve the stress it's causing, (door seams are too wide right now from the roof trying to spread the damn car apart).

I figured I would do some sort of permanent open top speedster thing, like a lil 8 inch windshield and welded doors, full x braces in the door frames. If anyone is interested, the car will be auctioned at Adesa Impact auto auction sometime in the near future. The car still runs and tranny is fine for all I can tell.

Having the money to spend on the S13 will be fun.
