Thanks for looking at my auction!

You are looking at a work of passion! I am sad to let this car go, but my vision and reality simply dont mix. The original plan was to make this car a fun and unique daily driver. I have too many project cars and this one must go. I never had any intentions of selling this car.

This car started out stock and has been slowly transformed over the past couple of years to what you see before you. A very low mileage JDM RB20DET engine was selected and shipped from a well-know importer in Texas. From there the entire engine was gone through and rebuilt where needed. New OEM seals all around! This engine in tight and works like a champ! Its properly built with a custom Water to Air Intercooler. This baby is simply waiting to be given a proper home!

Here is the following list of mods done to the car:

-Tokico Illumina Shocks and Springs
-Full Polyurethane bushing set
-New Old Stock 280Z Wood shift knob modified to fit 71c Transmission
-Series 1 240Z Steering wheel
-New Autometer Tach internals transplanted into the factory tachometer housing (OEM Look, but performs like new)
-ARP head studs
-ARP exhaust studs-No more broken exhaust studs, EVER!
-Baker Cylinder Heads Street Port & Polish (Local machine shop and race engine builder)
-Full custom Air/Water intercooler setup. Intake air temps are cooled to ambient temp, 100% efficient
-Synapse blow off valve
-Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood
-MSA Carbon Fiber Rear bumper
-Hayden 17" Two Speed Electric Fan
-Dakota Digital Programmable Fan Controller
-Mckinney Motorsports Aluminum Radiator, 2-Row
-JDM N1 Upgraded WaterPpump
-New OEM Exedy Z33 Clutch fitted to RB20 Flywheel
-Custom Transmission Mount
-Rick Wong RB swap mounts. These are much nicer then Mckinney. Full CNC Aluminium and use stock 3rd Gen Supra motor mounts for zero vibration
-Nistune, custom map with moderate-to-aggressive street tune
-New N62 (Z32) Mass Air Flow Sensor
-New Wiring Specialties Harness
-Unknown JDM short shifter that came with the transmission when imported
-Rebuilt and shortened steel driveshaft
-Magnesium 5 Spoke 14" Wheels
-Like New Tires with very low mileage
-Mirror holes deleted on drivers door and repainted(ready for fender mirrors)

-HKS Intake Filter (Large)

-Misc Silicone Hoses and Couplers

-New Bosch 300L/H Fuel Pump

-New NGK Spark Plugs

-Upgraded Frint Brakes with 4-Piston 4Runner Front Brake Conversion with New EBC Pads,

-New Rear Brakes. Kept Original Rear Drums with fin-style cooling. Less brake fade and lighter than Disc Brakes. These aluminum drums are nearly impossible to overheat

-New 8000K 35-Watt HIDs

There is a LOT more done to this car than I cant even remember! The list could go on forever! This car has well over 13K just in parts invested into it not including any labor.

Notes: Vehicle is a partially completed project. Vehicle runs, drives and is legal to be on public roads. The car will still need work to become complete. The car is sold As-Is with nor warranty available, included or implied. This is a custom car!

Please call or text me with any questions!

Datsun expands low-cost revival with new Mi-Do in Moscow [w/video]

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Those who were disappointed when Datsun changed its name to Nissan over three decades ago may have been pleased to see the marque revived last year, even as a budget brand. Nissan's counterpart to its ally Renault's Dacia budget brand, Datsun has been steadily expanding its lineup of low-cost transportation for developing markets with the debut of the Go hatchback in India, the Go+ minivan in Indonesia and the On-Do sedan in Russia. And now it has returned to Moscow to reveal its fourth model, the Mi-Do.
Based closely on the On-Do sedan (which itself is based on the Lada Granta) the Mi-Do takes on a five-door hatchback bodystyle but with no more frills. It uses the same front-drive chassis with the same wheelbase as the sedan, but its chopped tail makes it a good foot and a half shorter overall. Into that compact shape, Datsun has fitted dual airbags, ABS and... well, that's about it. It's got a 1.6-liter, eight-valve inline-four kicking out a grand total of 87 horsepower to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Bare bones, this is.
While delivery of the first On-Do sedans commences next month (with the first example going to an IT specialist in Omsk), the Mi-Do is set to begin delivery early next year. Scope out the video and press release below from the Mi-Do's reveal at the Moscow Motor Show.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
