R3V isnt ready for this! candy, wings, and motor swaps.

[cramer]

haha can't wait to see it in person at the picnic.

Will it be done in time Erich?

[dvs909]

As a purist i don't like the motor or the wing.
As a broke college student, i understand the motor situation.

but that wing is seriously stupid.

[pwagon717]

fuck purists

I agree

[Turf1600]

Sorry, I don't agree. I'm a purist. I like OE or period correct things.

[GotCone?]

E-rich,

what BP are those wheels then? I didn't see anything except 4x114.3 and 5x114.3 available in that 17x9.5" size from Rota.

Was curious. How much spacer you running as I wonder what the standard offset is.

Thanks - Jon

The car was built to serve a purpose. Why is everyone getting worked up?

my thoughts exactly. when i say it fits the title "rice rocket" i mean it in a positive way :p

i wouldn't put that wing in any of my cars but that's just me.

[PaladinReed]

I think the car is boss, and with the skill and motivation I could see myself building something similar to rock. The wing is whack but the crazy bitches on this thread are more so. I personally would have stuck with a BMW powerplant but I understand your reasoning behind the swap. GL with the upcoming season man! Wish I could see this thing on the track.

I looked at the pix before I read anything and my only thought was "This has GOT to be a drift car" lol. Wings like that are big in drifting since it's a very visual auto sport. Not my taste but it will def get noticed, you guys seem to notice it pretty well lol.

I get the nissan sponsor/cheap parts thing but I'm not a fan of the CA18. The SR is the successor motor and has a bunch more after market. They also came in NA form in the US so you can find replacement parts alright. I understand not wanting to spend big money on HP upgrades but the CA will cost you more in the long run than another motor or M20T IMO. I'd go for a KAT but thats because I'm a fan of bigger displacement (2.4L).

Could always go 1jz or 2jz. Cheap power. heavy tho.

[Jesse30]

asbradely needs to move along to emotech... ban?



e-rich i really like the car besides the spoiler.

p.s. there may not be much support for CA18's but i still love them none the less.

bit of an understatement :) haha

wow .. i saw this on your myspace and my jaw dropped ...

with the scene in the local NW growing at such a stupid rapid rate, people need to grow (both skills and cars.) not to mention the competition and contestants whom have skills have grown (i dont think competition will be your problem.) not to mention the cost of participating and maintaining is now at a point where its painful for all .. even for those who just want to watch.

with the nissan motor, the maintenance and parts availability and performance upgrades available to you (not to mention you are in the "it" click) is very accessible to you and your contacts at countless shops in the area that will bend over backwards to help out.

to be pure is fine in anyones book ... but to be bold and make a new statement and stand out above all ... and be innovative and think outside the box is more than acceptable ... it is wanted! ... the need to grow is what keeps the love and scene going

i cant wait to see this car on the track and make everyone drool over BMW's and shine light on the E30 chassis in the NW in the drift scene.

rock on and do work

people just dont understand what it is to have fun and love something ... all they want is to be accepted and be part of the herd

[Spiff325iS]

Awesome! I've loved following your drift event history and seeing you progress; you've definitely come a long way!

I have loved everything you'd done to your car, but for some reason the one thing I absolutely HATE are the E36 skirts, they just look EXTREMELY out of place, cheap, and tacky. I almost hate them more than AR1/2's with black centers and polished lips.

Seriously, I think your car would look OUTSTANDINGLY MORE AMAZING with stock skirts.

I don't expect you to change it because of my opinion, but just giving you my opinion.. otherwise, I like everything else! Woo.

[OldsCool]

+1 for the IE Flares idea

+1 aye

@car: i love it. the wheel color is SICK! and wheelchoice is good (didn't know they make those in 4stud, is the hub bigger than 57.1mm?)

keep that stuff comming! can't wait to see more.

btw are you going to redesign the looks of it or keep the old look?

Shutup Mark you sold your car and 510

And about his demeanor, he's a nice guy, if your honestly judging people by the way they post you may wanna look at how seriously you take the internet.

It gonna be ready for the picnic?
