lol theyre not mine. the burgundy car is a caged shell incase i total my car. the black fc is mine with the weird wheels.
my friend/sponsor chris is a collector.
he has a turboII powered b2200 truck with EMS, AIM display, fuel cell, crazy ****.
RHD FD track car
RHD FC daily
tons of 7 posted up.
he said if i do good, he's going to let me build an FD shell that he has with some body damage for next year. wants to do a Pport 3rotor NA. i have to throw in a gang of cash and effort but its my motivation to do good. plus i just want to get better, and have fun. chris, owner of euroasian motorworks, vegasrotary.com, and area77rotorworks (the rotary shop) has steve singh of R&R rotary coming back and forth to build motors and do some tuning to his cars.
they've helped me a **** load this time around, and i want to do whatever i can to repay them. if he wouldnt have bought my harness', and built my motor, i'd be out of the game same like last year...
who ever's coming out for XDC, message me for my number. i know tons of drift dudes out here so im sure i can find a place for you to crash for the weekend.

thats what i ran last time. i had an rtek with rebuilt gsl-se's and afe 1000cc secondaries. it still ran out of fuel. i do need a boost controller, and i called the dude with the haltech so im going to pick it up tonight.,... im so broke, i have no tires, blown coilovers, and i still have to pay for XDC, and buy widefenders to take my car to springmountain autobody so they can spray it all in like 2 weeks.... and im buying a damn ecu.... if i make this event it will be a miracle...
we'll see how it goes. i appreciate the help. i'm really hesitant to try new setups on my motors cause for one, i hardly have the cash to do it, and for two it always results in killing a motor and now we have a grand tied up in my new keg.... i dont want to kill it...<- the motor. lol
joe, seriously your car is the **** btw.

you have a fuel pressure gauge in your car? If not, put one in asap when you get your car running again. Fuel pressure might be falling off at high rpm under boost. Oh, and my names Jeremy by the way, my name on here is just a dumb play with letters. The car's coming together pretty nice, and looks like you're driving pretty good, but it sucks when mechanical problems hold you back.
i will pick one up. steve told me to grab one too, and i have been putting it off..
i just bought an EBC today.
thanks man, it definitely does suck. i'm running into some problems right now thrownig it back in which im pretty bummed about but hopefully it doesnt turn serious, cause i'll miss XDC... more pics soon!

i'm busting on it now, but the Eshaft has a welded pilot bearing in it. waiting for a phone call on wtf to do...lol

broken pilot shaft bearing... ****'s all broken/welded inside the eshaft. hopefully i can get the majority of it out, or else i'm stuck waiting till my friend gets back from cali to rip it apart and swap eshafts.... we should've looked when it was apart, but spaced it.... **** happens when you rush. what can you do...
justin i know the pics are shitty, but any suggestions? i have the specific tool, but its litterally welded it seems. can i grind it out with an air grinder? never ran into this before, and i need to be more self dependant on this for time's sake.
******* buckey....

suspension i'm really lacking on... i finally got a camber bar. was running like 3degrees rear camber, and having to demount/flip my tires to get use out of them. still need to get DTSS elims, and do that. i really only have the super now angle kit, and some knockoff/ebay D2 looking purple spray painted coilovers. i got them for free off a friend awhile back when i first started. he bought them for the camber plates, and i picked them up. i have to get new ones, cause my front caster is way off. im guessing theyre bent cause my car is straight. or maybe the factory rubber upper mounts? i had to drill the holes bigger to get them in.
it always flips back easy sliding one way but the other it just gets burried at lock, and wants to stay.
idk. kinda just adapted to it, and havent cared...
the crazy *** stories forrest is always telling me about you at htm makes me want to drive that place so bad! linking that back uphill section in 4th is nuts ******* nutty guy! haha! he always says good things!

cant sleep, sick as ****, and stresed out, going through pics on my laptop, and ran across my old daily...
sadly, i blew it up 5 mins into owning it and it sat for 6 months...
i traded this for my turboII... some say i scored, but not really...
had to make sacrifices for the pro am point series this year...
i still own another one, but **** i miss this car..

thanks josh! i wish someone would buy them already so i can get the ame's from forrest so i can throw on wide fenders and not have to worry about shitty spacers.
motor's in and i feel like death...
really slow day today, but i need to make some progress. now i just have to change OMP lines/injectors, and install all the bullshit coils, and everything.
gonna play around with a flame thrower setup to make dori's look sick.

rotor housing OMP injectors i still need to replace.
replaced some lines. luckily theres a tub of 1million omp lines here or else id be screwed lol!
stock s4 turbo back on for now. i welded the twinscroll flapper door to eliminate it. was going to cut it out and weld it but im too lazy... and it probably wouldnt be much better.. i removed the actuator too.
more to come soon. im trying to get tons of pics/work in today to make up for the passed 2 days.
i need motivation... lol
