What's up Zilvia, I'm Joey and here is my build and the story of what brought me here in the first place. (Sorry, I'm taking a lot of my photos off of my instagram/facebook.

I've been into drifiting and the community since 2005 I'd say, but I'm 22 now so that means I was just a little shit track volunteer for Ter-Tech back in those days.

I kind of fell out for a while and go into paintball of all things...

I wanted to get back into drifting and juggle it with my other hobbies so with my 18 year old logic I bought a G35 because I wanted RWD and to still get pussy.

Coming off a suspended license with $3500.00 every six month insurance payments and being too afraid to wall tap that pretty little thing I sold it, quit paintball, and got into motorcycles?

Got hit by a drunk driver and spent the next 6 months on Zilvia planning my hatch build.

My current roommate owns the house and wasn't cool with my having a second car but was alright with me building a motor so that's where I started, picked up a KA with everything for $300

Tore it down, got it honed and tanked, staying with the stock bore for as long as possible and got it all pretty looking.

I'm 22, I've got a retarded amount of medical bills, and am a fulltime student, so my parts collection has been slow but steady.

All of that has been sitting and collecting since August of 2013, until I finally had enough of just putting together parts and just sacked up and bought a storage unit and waited to find a shell. I got this bad boy for $1500, gutted interior, hacked up wiring harness and feed/return lines, but for the price of a shell I got an almost running ka-t setup with no rust and aside from the paint, completely clean body.
