[PARAD0X]

that looks really good. keep it up

and get it painted!

[GTGuy06]

Way to go Dousan! Looks great, now all it needs is a paint job and your set.:D

[s13chica]

Glad to see that you got it fixed....looks like you did a nice job!

[Warwick5s]

what's with all the stickers and mismatched rims?! f*cking ricer. :mad:













just kidding! it looks real nice. you can tell that it's 'the real thing' as opposed to a ricey racecar imitiation.


and where did you get the bubble knob? not that i want one (i'm gonna get a little brushed aluminum deal soon) but i tried finding one a little while ago after seeing one pictured somewhere to see how much they cost and came up empty. but i only have google, no jdm hookups.

[s0ldats]

good job aaron... i can't wait to fix mine.... i have a couple questions... check your FA PM :aw: haha

bubble knob = jdm tyte yo

your car = teh hotness

[boro240]

nice pics. im digging the matching (missmatched) fenders.

haha, lindsay has weird tastes in shift knobs. im waiting for the CB radio now.

[DoriftoSlut]

I told you guys Aaron's interior would be the JDM hotness once we got a pic of my bubble knob in there... In fact, my interior will be slightly more JDM. Why? all Aaron's goodies are in fact mine (on loan to him) but I will have more random colors. JDM people are blind or something because a lot of times their interiors don't color match. Well thats what my friend told me Stupid Street said.:coolugh:

Anyway, before Aaron gets the car painted he needs other things (priorities on a certain engine and aero tune)... Why paint the car now and re-do it later? Boo.

Where did I get the knob? I have the JDM hookup who sends me (only me and certain close friends, so dont ask...) little stuffs. Up next? Chandeliers... woo hoo.

Oh yeah, if you guys remember how bent out of shape Aaron's bumper was after the incident vs how it is now... Danny, Aaron, and I teaked the FCUK out of the Urethane and the brackets off of Adriels car to hold it back in position. IT FITS SO GOOD! No need for new bumper! Woo hoo! Personally, I thin the dk Blue fenders look really... umm... stupid. But cool at the same time. Aaron, we should have painted them purple with Andy's shocks... tsk tsk...

[Steeles]

HAH Looks GOOD Aaron! I want my Reflex sticker too! Ruf you slacker!!! :D cant wait to see final version!

[Dousan_PG]

thanks
yes up next is body kit and paint job (going on same time of course)

i think i laid down the brand i want.
i get my RPS 6 puck clutch today so $$ is tight. should order and get painted w/in 2 months i hope if all goes well.

then s14 SR. heh....

5 lug should be finished (finally) in about 2 weeks or sooner.


anyways, more to come soon. much more.
back at the track August 8..buttonwillow full drift east loop. woo hooooo.

how much was the RPS? pretty reasonable? I want something grippier than the SPEC next time with having to spend a grip on like an exedy or blitz or something...

what color did you finally decide on? cant wait to see it man. makes me want a hatch :cry:

[Bbandit]

damn aaron.. pretty nice video you got there!
me like ... :thumbsup:
great job fixing up the car, the car looks awesome! :bowdown:

[Dousan_PG]

cant say price. got a SIIICK deal though. unbelieveable. very very pleased

it retails at $375. and that's pressure plate and clutch only
the pads on teh clutch can be replaced. so if i kill the clutch, i just order new pads..100 bucks and maybe some labor (if i dont do it myself) and i got a new clutch. SWEET!

www.turboclutch.com

they sell SR20DET ones which ill get. 6 puck MAX series. i got the sports series for my POS KA24DE


i cant say what color i am getting for my car. but right now i only know of one fastback w/ that color in the US at least in so cali and it never touches the track :) body kit is secret too...but you already know steeles. ;)

[Dousan_PG]

SWEET

drift day 6 pic!

this is sideways down the straight after the 360 degree cone
ok its me. and sileightymania ridign shotgun (giving me tips on improving)
i can tell because the lip is hanging. i knocked off some zipties that part of day...whoopsie
i like the grainyness of the pic.

Damn you AND your deals lol. so your ordering mine when the time comes for me right :) thats not all that bad vs my SPEC stage II. I know the kit I just wasnt sure you finalized a color yet ;) i wont tell lol.

and very cool pic. man I need to spend a summer in cali or something and lear drift from you guys :p

[JasonNagra]

The clear lights in the rear look very nice indeed. Always wondered how they'd look on our maroon color.:boink:

[Dousan_PG]

ya i was really happy. i know they'll look just as good on my next color choice (already checked on it)

:)
btw: jason: the koseis will be ready soon if ou are still intersted.

[JasonNagra]

WHHHAAAAT?? Do you still have the whole set, or just two?? I just bougt my LSD, and SSR RS8's, so it may take me till next week.

Also do you have any four lug meshies laying around that your rich *** doesn't need??:D

[Dousan_PG]

looking to sel probably w/in 2 weeks. still waiting for brake pads..those SHOULD be ready to ship this week..so by the time im done w/ track..looking near 2-3 weeks its ready. probably by august 8th (before that date) it will be ready. 5 lug front swap and brake swap takes only a few hours.

i heard about the LSD and such. congrats. enjoy it. LSD ownz.


nah i have no more 4 lugs. im poooooor. spending it on more tires and bigger wheels and soon SR mods :)

[JasonNagra]

How did you find out about the LSD? I geuss I should do a review or something since i AM the first person in NA to have this particular LSD. Benson will have it soon enough. Quick question for ya though. Im running jap spec dunlop formula R (VERY sticky) tires on the back to adjust to the LSD, and so i have less chance of the *** stepping out on me. Occasionaly I try to get the *** out and I have issues, do you think the tires are just too grippy? Kaaz said it was because my suspension needs to be stiffer (it WAS only at click #2, now at 8) and i need different tires. But I like the formula Rs sooooooo much....

LSD does own thogh, much more confidence during turns and nie banked off ramps. DD8 is when my car will loose its track virginity...

PS no more understeering around poles HAHAHAHAHA. It was damn fun though!!

[Dousan_PG]

im people who know A LOT of people ;)

yeah benson said his should be on soon when i asked him about it in SF. pretty cool!


yeah tires grip too much. if you go faster (top of second/third gear) it will come out. but you'll also need: stiff suspension, more power, good weight transfer) basically be a more advanced driver. i couldnt break those out if i tried hahaha..i guess i could but the amount of work for the lack of power and skill would basically be useless to do. good tires though. i know soem people who have used those, grip like a mofo. dunlop japan rocks. sigh..

use the formula Rs for street, and somethign else for track. sinc eyou can get the AD07 Yokos, get those for the front AND bad (keep tire consistency) and you'll rock at DD8. but you MUSt have to be going faster (top of second) to keep them loose and keep from understeering.


congrats! keep working hard, you'll feel and look great at dd8!

[JasonNagra]

Man I am going to SUCK at DD8. I dont know what the hell to do. Okay what I was tinking is doing wat you do, FM901's in the back, and put the R's on the front. But I don't know. I am REALLY scared of high speed drifts at this point, I have never done one. I geuss it will be a learning experience. How many poles are there at irwindale, if I hit something after all this work, I will cry. Seriously. :wtc:

[DoriftoSlut]

Nagra, Danny and I almost painted those K1s pansy-ass light purple for you, but we decided against it since Aaron told us there was a good chance you would buy them. So now you have to buy them, otherwise we will be upset that we could have painted them...

Oh yah... sicne LSD is actually for beter traction and such, it is no wonder you cant break it loose with grippy tires... Drift is not just about power over out of a turn. All different aspects of car control come into play to get a car into a good drift. I bet you could get those to slide with better technique. Go to DD8 you will learn a LOT.

[ny_jee]

Glad your car's repaired. But you still didn't come pick up your spacers and the 2 wheels you want to borrow. Even though they are mine, but it's taking up space in garage. Let me know what's up. Those tail lights are great, looked better on Richard's car tho.

[Dousan_PG]

depends on layout
if you can, do this (what i would do)

bring 4 extra wheels
2 w/ your sticky tires (the ones you use now)
2 w/ less sticky/crap/misc tires

try teh sticky first, if u get frustrated or find its not working, swap front and back
dont like? swap to extra set

irwindale=good because tires last LONG time and surface is dirty and very smooth. graet for beginners and people who think they are drift kings. when you hit a rough surface like 3com or a real track you find out really how good you are haha..irwindale is great primarily for finding out the basics and learnign A LOT!!! then apply those techniques and what you laerned to new surfaces and locations..drifting is all about adaptation.

irwindale has lots of poles. depends where they are
if you cant do the higher speed (and i wouldnt suggest it if you dotn haev a lot of expiriece) stick w/ the lower speed stuff...which will require less sticky tires)

get used to the car first before upgrading tires. but try and keep front and rear tires relatively similar. super sticky up front and crap crap in back sucks imho. fm901 front fm901 back is great. es100 front fm901 back is great

ill find out how AD07 front es100/fm901 back does at dd8 and buttonwillow :p

:)

[JasonNagra]

Yea I will be there for sure. Why were you going to paint them? Damnit now if I dont buy them you guys are going to hate me more. Looks like im gonna have some K1s pretty soon.

Aaron is it a set or two?

[Dousan_PG]

haha..no hate man. no hate.

only 2 i have. graet for backup/zbrake/coilover clearance. thats' the only reason i got them. u can get 2 more from tirerack (special order and long waiting times)

i like koseis,b ut not in 15s....want 17x9 ones :)

i was going to paint them because ilike change. but everyone i talk with says white looks great..wahtever. anyways..they are still white and original

[JasonNagra]

Apparantley Dorifto lives really close to me (temple or something) all of us should meet up. I want you (Aaron) to drive my car and give me some feedback. I want to know how the coiloivers are, whats up with my camber, and if my LSD is making proper clunking noises. If you have time, I know your always doing stuff.

[Dousan_PG]

hard to say
im up north if im not down here fixing my broken car hahaha
but we'll see
i gotta pick up some stuff from yeswepromise one day...im just lazy...or sleeping

[DoriftoSlut]

Aaron, we should do Chrome 17x9 K1s... Woooo hooo.

[Dousan_PG]

dorifto: i'd do it
but i got my 18 on some 18s that can be bought in chrome....:D ;) hush hush..

but chrome K1s...sweet.
its all about the bling.
nothing like coming down the straight, locking up the rears and flashing someone watching in the eye w/ the sun hahahahaa

[Stee Flo]

Dude im diggin the bubble knob! I thought they were weird when i first saw one but it grew on me. Nice job on the repairs btw.

[DoriftoSlut]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, that's what Im saying... Woo hoo! Your sh!t bling bling, my sh!t bling BLAOW! Where you getting money for 18 inch tires? Sucking d!ck for coke again? I would LOVE to go 18s in the rear. But matching... like chrome Model 7s F/R 17x9 and 18x9.5 Saweeet. Anyone want to buy some R33 GTR wheels?

[Dousan_PG]

if you sell your R33GTR wheels ill kick your a-s-s


you know ill buy them!!!!!
serious.

[DoriftoSlut]

I would sell them to you, but I know you would not pay what I could get though. Maybe if you paid a normal price I WOULD sell them to you. Why? What you know about 17x9 and 18x9 chrome Model 7s? Haha, checking the price through "people" right now...

[Dousan_PG]

id probably buy them at what you bought them for..even minus tires cuz you know i get 17" for free ;)

serious yo
i can cut back on track events to afford [puppy dog eyes] [sniff sniff]

[DoriftoSlut]

Ok dood, they yours....

not yet though. I need to get the order in on the Model 7s and shiiiiit. So once my car gets here.... we'll work things out. Unless I get a job and make money. Haha then I will need spares and probably keep the R33s (at least 2 of them).

[Steeles]

i'd like to take this time to say I hate you both :) carry on

[Dousan_PG]

back to the thread...

[revat619]

Steeles: I'd like to second that. ;)

Where did you guys find the R33 gt-r wheels? Jspec? Get them yourselves? If and when i go 5-lug those are THE wheels! Soooo nice :bowdown:

Dorifto and Dousan is bury bury Jay-Dee-Hem! :bigok:


Oh yeah, the car looks good Aaron! Can't wait for DD8!!! :D

[itsybitsy240sxEy]

looking good aaron! from the front, your car has a hardcore wolverine kinda look to it. ok... that might just be me though. hehe. glad you could save the bumper.

i installed my springs yesterday! =D finally.

oh, i'm totally digging the shift knob. ;) don't have too much fun with it now.

[Dousan_PG]

haha
uh-oh lindsay is gonig to get all excited now you said taht about the shift knob!! beware!

yeah! springs! i cant wait to see it (this weekend?) i hope...

i said it looked like wolverine after i put it on too...hahahahahha..we think alike

anywhoo....gtr wheels. damn hurry and get your car here..wait no,, then i lose the brix
dammit dood, youll run me poor hahahaha

[DoriftoSlut]

I got my R33 GTR wheels from a friend who brought them back fom japan (Mark from Slide Squad). He was going to use them, but ended up changing cars and plans... I have had them for almost a year and a half haha.

Aaron... your car looks nice now that we fixed it. It will look good with a new color and an OEM kouki kit. until then it looks like youa re a true drift poser... hehehe-

Janet...

you dont even want to know what we were going to have you do for pics with the shift knob... HAHAHAHA errererrrrrrr ahhhem. It was all aaron's idea.....

Now I want a flower horn button like Danny. Woo hoo.

[ruf]

Thanks for fronting for Reflex homey. Just got the vid of the California D1GP ikaten. Let's see how you do! ;)

[bobmeindertsma]

hey nice work on repairs,
and nice driving!!!:aw:

is that drifting done with a stock ka24de???

[Dousan_PG]

thanks!
yep stock ka, only have a RS*R exmag exhaust

stock KA has the power, just enough...barely haha..
watching the vids of me in action is like watching slow motion though...haha..

[bobmeindertsma]

right on:D :D
that makes me happy to know that stock ka has it.

now all i have to do is find some events over on my end of the border

I am soo addicted to my car for only owning it for a short period of time.

[Dousan_PG]

yeah stock engine
but LOTS of suspension and a awesome LSD ..haha..so that helps too:)

good luck! practice makes perfect! :)

[Bbandit]

yup.. ka does the job
in my case.. stock ka with slipping clutch does the job for both drift and autoX.... for now.. :D

[DRFT]

wow thats a awesome cartoon pic! and gld to see your car back Dousan!

[bobmeindertsma]

just curious on what happened to your car anyways?

and i keep watching you drift vid and i noticed that you have sleepy eye effect on (which i totally dig...but im getting sick off manually turning them)

is yours dons on a toggle switch?

[Dousan_PG]

thanks i'm driftaholic!!! :) coolness

i ate the barrier at d1gp..search for 'pink godzira will be on option video'

and it is! hahaha..:)

i have a pivot sleepy eye controller
i dont do that ghetto one, i dont like it. yeah it works but i dont know. i'm a perfectionist..well, most of the time.

[bobmeindertsma]

hey i really dig the sleepy eye effect and searched it alittle and
i think i might do the pivot sleepy eye controller.


does it have good instructions with it?

ahh well i guess ill see when i buy it'
thanks for all your help

[Dousan_PG]

i bought it used for like 40 bucks..no directions.
should have them when you buy it though
got a home made pivot one for free my friend is going to use in her car.

[VLOWS13]

I don't think you have enough stickers on that window :rolleyes:

[DuffMan]

Dont paint it, it looks good like that.

It's like, ghetto meets drift.
