JDM_Tuner

I have a few build threads on other sites like my350z, kcdrift.com, even the premium members on here but i dont get any comments so ill post into chat since this is a build thread, expect an update every weekend but today im gonna tell you guys my past right up to the present, and then future.

Currently im 16, i hustle hard to be able to this shit on my cars and i do NOT ask my mommy for anything, well at least not anymore, and sometimes she does surprise me with a part as a gift and what not. but anyways here we go:

it all started when i was about 13, i was watching a dvd i got from my sisters friend that worked for enkei wheels where this guy was interviewing keiichi tsuchiya while he showed various ways to intiate a drift in his s15. Anyways ive always loved cars since my dad owned a used car dealership while he was still alive, well we still own it but im saying my dad is the reason i like cars. my first "Drift" car that i purposefully bought was a 95 240sx, i have had many cars before then but this 240 was the first car i actually wanted to put all my money into. I bought it for $750 in an auction, i didnt pay for it with my money, since i really wasnt making any then. It was wrecked, but i saw what i could turn that car into.



i wish i would have done some research amd found out that there was something called "overfenders" lol because i didnt know about them back then so i just thought it had to be pulled, welded and bondoed...lol but it still came out alright. so after some body work, paint, interior reupholstry, exhaust, and some wheels i found at the dealership laying around, this was it:


I started learning a lot more about 240's and drifting so for my 14th birthday i asked for an sr20, so i went up to Dewey in STL at JDMHookup and he gave me a good deal on a zenki s14 front clip so my mom said "what the hell, ok"



I pulled the engine as soon as i got it to the shop, i stripped it to a bare longblock and painted EVERY part that was on it, i got the wiring done by yuri at wiring specialties and i got a cxracing fmic, walbro 255, ss turbo lines, nismo mounts, and some other odds and ends for the swap. The painting and swap of the sr took me about 2 months, not because i didnt know what i was doing because i am very mechanically inclined but because it was winter and i had to joggle school and sports as well as finding time to go down to the shop to work. but heres how it turned out (also got circuit sports clear lenses, best use of an oven ever lol)


anyways that was when my mom cut me off, she said she had enough of me using her money to fund my hobbies. So i began to sell my leftover 240sx parts, i hustled and gave people some great parts and great prices while still making enough money to fund my addiction to new parts. My next buy was BIG, at least for me at the time, i had saved up almost 2k and i wanted to blow it so i bought this stuff, as well as z32 fronts and a cheap duraflex body kit, since i was at the time going hard streeting whenever i could, i couldnt afford to bust up a legit body kit.


I got all that stuff installed and the car was looking pretty good, and that pretty much where im at today.




now let me back track a little bit, for my 16th birthday my mom got me a 07 350z, she got a baller deal on it from another dealership so she said "what the hell, ok" lol. (current mods include a bride vios 3, apex'i exhaust, and some intakes, nothing crazy, since most of my money goes to my 240)


after mods (also i had the xxrs on the z for awhile since i went through the z's tires pretty fast


throughout these past 3 yrs ive been getting pretty good at drifting, and just driving in general, ive never crashed and never got a speeding ticket event though i dont drive like a pussy at all)
i wish i had more footage of me drifting in events but kansas drift events dont have too many videographers but heres some vids ive found that are of me or have me in them. (keep in mind the z had an open diff and bald ass front tires, and no ebrake...lol)

So back to the present, i recently tried selling my s14 to fund another s-chassis build but the buyer i was waiting for 2 months to buy my car flaked, so im just gonna keep it, i could find another buyer no prob, but the s14 is reliable and doesnt have any issues besides the stock suspension, so this winter im doing a full rebuild, today in fact i started taking out the engine and tranny to do front tubs, and tomorrow
