i was going to get a S15 turbo but for a little money more you can get a way way way way better turbo thats why i went with the GT2871r. not worth it to bu a s15 turbo unless its used imo

edit: oh my bad i read again and saw you only got the compressor housing not actual turbo hmm not sure how thats gona work but ok lol. you have a s13 turbo right? just post pics when you do it wana see lol

 

i have a pulsar GTiR turbo... and the GT28R compressor housing is a upgrade for it... i'll most definitely be posting pics when i get going....

 

all loaded up and ready to go to Bradenton tomorrow for my second drift event!!

Tow rig, 2004 Silverado 2500 4x4


prepared! 4 wheels/tires to drift on, spare suspension parts in case my "hope and dreams of better life of some small children in some random communist country" godspeed **** fails on me, and tool box in the truck... READY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!



pics and vids, soon to come!!!

 

so i guess you got the exhaust leaks and additional tuning done already?

good luck on the runs and keep us posted on the godspeed track test

 

^
no, leak is still there, but the Martin (the tuner) said my car was prefectly fine to drift on, and that my motor was one of the healthiest he's seen....

he also said that i have "A very nice set up", which i think is kinda nice, cause i built my car on used parts, low budget, and in my driveway with basic hand tools... he's used to people saying "here's my credit card, build me a 600whp 240"... so it felt good for him to say that when he used to high end builds...



as fot the godspeed track test, i think that when i do it, it might be one of the first i've seen... when i initially bought my suspension, i couldn't find anything but "godspeed sucks, it's gonna break" from a bunch of people who never used the stuff...

Enjoy!!!! i still wish i got my final run in tho... god it was sick... i was linking for the first time!!!


also, here's a tech update...

30MM Aluminum... front and rear... now i just need to score some rotors, SS conversion lines, and ebrake assembly...




oooh oohh ARC Cooling panel!!!


and i finally got that C-West trunk lip... not mounted, just put on to show what it looks like... ends need to be 3M double sided taped down upon final installation...

 

well guys, after using my buddys 04 Silverado as tow rig over sunday, it made me realize "I GOTTA GET ME OE OF THESE!!", and the search began...

got on CL and found a 1999 Silverado Ext Cab, V8, 4x4, tonnau cover, Foose 23" rims with newish tires... and the guy wants to trade straight up for my 1997 Audi A4 Quattro (AWD) 2.8L V6 5spd.. so i'm jumping on the trade, as i REALLY need a tow rig if i'm going to be going to all these long distance events...


so i'm going from this, one of my two daily drivers (with mechanical problems that are very $$$ to repair)....



to this....





and it matches the 240!!! kinda dirty cause it's been sitting for a while, but **** it, it's just a tow rig to tow my 240/future drift car to events, and for work...

only one problem, the tranny's blown... luckily, the guy in the pic above with the hat and shades, has a freshly rebuilt and upgraded tranny he'll sell me for $500, and have it installed for $250....

either way, i'm getting a tow rig, and when i sell the S10, i'll be getting a car trailer with a tire rack and tool box...

**** just got real son....

 

 

going in the dirt, making super smoke is always fun

 

Awesome man!!! Looking good out there. You should try to score a set of 17s for drifting and slap some decent tires on them. More grip = more fun and more control.

 

i fully plan on getting a drift set... with REALLY good tires up front... maybe some mustang wheels....

well, i took a pass on that Chevy with the 23"s... after the kid cleaned it, it looked even WORSE, if you can belive that... that, and it looked like there was some 16 y/o girls Captain Morgan and Burger King vomit on the headliner i didn't notice...

so instead, i picked this up.... a 2000 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab stepside 4x4.. and it came with more than i bargained for... it should make a REALLY nice tow rig once i buy a nice little flat bed to tow the car with.... only thing wrong with it? a bad transfer case for the 4x4, of which, i have a used one coming Monday via LKQ...

here's the pics, PRE DETAIL, so it IS a mess...






bunch of retarded stickers i'm gonna have to take off... except maybe the "Jesus Loves you, but i don't give a ****" sticker..

purrs like a kitten, with ARCTIC AC... i can't believe how cold it is...






now here's the little surprises i didn't know about when i first bought it....

TV's


2 Alpine amps, under seat custom enclosure, and costum center console enclosure both holding JL Audio 12's...





well, that's the new Tow rig.... not bad for $2,500....

 

WTF? how did you find a truck for $2500 that is in that good of shape?

 

it's a little rough around the edges on the outside... but mint on the inside... and it's a LONG story how i got it so cheap..

 

damn dude, you sure know how to sniff out the deals....now hurry and get that thing tuned...wanna have an idea of what to expect as i'm going a similar route as yours...
