Hood rich s13

[Vegas13]

Well, I have been in love with S13s for a few years, along with drifting, being unique with cars (which is hard to do nowadays) and I grew up around Rat Rods/traditional rods. So, I'm likely to have an askewed style from the norm. Here is what I am creating.


The Start...

[Vegas13]

Looks f'in sweet! Going turbo later?
maybe in the diiissstant future. but not in the next 2 years probably lol

[e36cruiser]

more low? Coils?

[imortalsin84]

No sr20 plz dont do a sr swap...those are fast but weak motors...if you plan on doing a swap do a CA motor or some type of skyline motor they will last you a lot longer...i went through 2 sr's with my s13 before i saw the light

IMO

IF i turbo, i will stay KA. i been thru swap junk, and i dont wanna deal with it.
coils are coming soon. i just have drop zones right now.

im focusing on the rusting of the fender, which is going no where lol

[2zzspyder]

iirc, the vw guys would soak the body panel to be rusted in a kiddie pool filled with salt water and vinegar.

well, i daily my s13, so the fender has to stay on, mike told me to use peroxide, his car took only an hour lol

[Jersh]

well, i daily my s13, so the fender has to stay on, mike told me to use peroxide, his car took only an hour lol

Yea, a lot of the guys used peroxide. It works crazy fast, when you first said that you were rusting the fender I was wondering "why is this guy trying to do it the natural way?" Definitely go with the peroxide.

[240sx]

good luck man am s13 owner as well, welcome to the site..

[NMiranda13]

No SR20 ?..intersting..:rolleyes haha

:alright:eyebrows

[Vegas13]

haha

welp, head gasket blew last night.

so got more shit to take care of. LAME

[Vegas13]

my interview with Michigan Midnight Run:



Midnight Run, can you define what this trip will mean to you, both before and after it's over?

Well, one of my favorite things to do is drive, and I love road trips, and cars. MMR is like the ultimate combination of all of that, plus hanging with cool people.


What are you most excited about the trip?

Probably to see the cars, and NYC. Me and Julia talk about going to NYC alot.

And I cant wait to see the train of cars that are going to be along with me.


I see you have a lot of tattoos and piercings. Any interesting stories or history of them?

Well, I had my ears stretched to 2.5 inches, the size of a pop can. That's done tho, cuz my left one ripped.

As far as tattoos, most of them mean something to me, but I have a few that are funny, or have a funny meaning.

Like the Chinese takeout box on my wrist, me and my friend Keala were flippin' channels and Bully Beatdown came on, and we **** that show, but He didnt change the channel. And the idiot host said " I hope You Packed Your Lunch" when the dudes were fighting.

So me and Keala coined that phrase and used it alot. I hung a takeout box from my tow hook for a while, then we both got it tattooed on us. Fun s*** haha


What kind of car's have you drove in the past? Any favorites?

I have owned hondas most my life. First 6 cars were hondas. My favorites were my 1991 GSR, and of course the Honda Shuttle.

I have always had a passion for old school nissans, and drifting. So I traded my GSR for an RB20 Pignose 240, and traded the Shuttle for a DOHC KA powered shark nose 240. The RB20 started having problems that i didnt know how to fix, internally, so I sold it. The dude still owes me 700 bucks, but I doubt I'll see it. I think My shark nose is probably my favorite car I have owned as of now.


Describe your dream car. Money is not an option.

Man, that's a hard one. I'm not big on super cars or anything really fancy, I mainly like old s***.

So my dream car would just be something old, that was problem free lol

An old Cressida, or 70's Z chassis.

I'd probably have to list a dream garage because I like alot of cars haha.


What got you interested in cars?

Well, way back my grandpa built hot rods, and inevitably my dad and uncles liked hot rods and muscle cars, and my grandfather built them awesome rides. I think I turned my first wrench in 3rd grade, I remember the grade because the ratchet fell on my face haha

Cars/hot rods have been a huge part of my life since as far as I can remember. I loved a lot of the old cars my dad had when I was growing up.



We all have broken knuckle moments in the garage. What is your worst broken knuckle moment?

When I was in 12th grade, my alternator was loose, so I pulled into the parking lot of the school, to fix it, and the wrench slipped and my hand dragged some metal clip in the engine bay, and made a giant X cut across the top of my hand, it didn't bleed right away tho, so I kept working, and went into school, walked to my class, and the teacher was like " Oh My God!! What happened?" and sent me to the nurse, and the nurse wanted to give me a tetanus shot, so I walked out to my car and went home haha. I **** needles


What are your future plans for the 240sx?

Drive it. Mostly. After the shoot for this feature I'm tearing it down. Replacing alot of the cooling system components, replacing the blown head gasket, and battery. My only other plans for this year are a Viscous Limited Slip Differential, and Origin Lab roof spoiler and Whale Tail.

Gonna drift my first season with the KADE pretty stock until I get better hahaha


Where does your creativity aspire from?

I mainly like Rat Rods/Budget rods, so of course that influences how my 240 looks a little Mostly I try to make my car look as evil as possible. It's on Its' way to where I want it. The fender needs to be more rusty, the front lip needs put back on and I need my damn Boso pipes.

Alot of people **** how my car looks. But I always tell people ****** ARE MY MOTIVATION.


Any shout-outs to local shops or friends?

Julia my Soul mate!

Everyone at The Tattoo Lady (my work)

Swapped HQ in Indy

Josh at EP WERKS in Indy

All the Drift Indy/Midwest Drift Union (even tho most of them **** how my car looks)

Mike, and everyone on StanceWorks.com

Almost everyone on PixelCarLife.com (some of you are douches)

My dad, probably the reason I'm into cars as much as I am.

Keala Faux. Move back from Hawaii fagboy.

And Austin Irwin and the Michigan Midnite Run Crew





Given $1,000 and a mint condition 240sx- How do you spend the money?

Uhh, cheap out, $500 on wheels and tires, $200 on massive spacers, $200 on Jun Flares, $100 on stickers. DO WORK


Biggest automotive pet peeve? What do you **** about people with cars?

Wow, not one to really **** on peoples cars, but I can't stand when wheels are sunken in from the body line. I don't mean that it has to be HELLAFUCT or anything, but wheel fitment definitly is an issue. Only thing else I can think of is just super rice s***.


What do you do for a living?

I am a Tattoo Artist at The Tattoo Lady in Hammond, In


Favorite driving setting for you.... example 10:00AM on a summer's wet morning.

Late afternoon. Something about the pink sunset around here. I love taking pics then as well.


Girls or Cars?

Well, 4 years ago, if you woulda asked me this, I definitly would have said cars.

But Julia is my best friend. I try to not spend much time on my car if its possible we could just be chillin' on the couch.

I'm not whipped. Just love my boo


Favorite Magazine:

Nothing import related hahaha mainly Rebel Rodz or Ol' Skool Rodz.


How would you explain your love for the culture?

Meh, I really can't explain it. You just gotta be in it to know the feeling I guess.

I wouldn't give my arm or nut for a car or anything like that hahaha


Worst/Uglies car you've ever seen in real life?

Maybe the rusty Rice box 240 that speeds around here, it's orange, has chrome 18s and a huge wing. car is 90% rust.

I'm sure there's worse tho.


Code You Live By:

Only Fools Need Luck

Only Cowards Need Mercy

I'm Hood Rich And I Ain't Trippin'

and

****** ARE MY MOTIVATION

[Vegas13]

i know this thread is old. and i dont mean to bump it, but just some info on it..

after i got the engine all back together, the timing was enver figured out. 3 mechanics were clueless.
and anyone who said they could fix it, wouldnt help me. so i sold the car. the kid that bought it painted it flat black, and sold it off to florida somewhere. im sure its in a wall or tree or something, knowing most ppl hopping on the drift bandwagon

[emanuel]

Man, i sweat those fender flares lol

keep up the good work i'm working on a similar project.

[Oxer]
