1983 Toyota Celica Supra – Solid Ground

CARPHOTO-4042

A lot of us spend years searching for what our true calling is. Sometimes we simply drift along as the current of life takes us in various directions until the right set of circumstances aligns themselves and the bigger picture is available in to focus.

When Javier Paramo was just 16, his father gave him an ’85 Sentra. Javier drove the car until he somehow were able to damage the cylinder head. Since he had no money to get it fixed by someone else, he did the position himself. So, he went out and bought a Chilton manual and jumped right in. He was able to successfully repair the car, and the rest, as they say, is history. He hasn’t stopped messing with cars since, and he currently has a good number of very intriguing projects/chassis within his possession, ranging from ’30s Fords, to a ’94 MKIV Turbo Supra, a ’97 RHD Kouki S14, and even a ’59 NSU Prinz. Don’t understand what that is? Look it up; it’s a damn cool little car. Around we enjoy seeing what Javier does with those cars, let’s focus on the ’83 Toyota Celica Supra the thing is before you and just how it came to be.

Javier has a significant history with this particular vehicle; it has been in his family for many years. Javier got the vehicle that you see before you from his uncle, with whom he traded the ’85 Sentra. What were the first mods that you just did for your car whenever you got it? Many of us started out as high school kids checking out what others at school drove, wanting to have the same general look. It would appear that the two most common mods were a drop and a collection of wheels. Javier was anxious to begin messing around with his new chassis, and he began from the same place that a lot of us did. “The very first thing I did to the vehicle was cut the springs to lessen it. I then went to the junkyard to look for some mesh wheels,” he says. “At that time mesh wheels were abundant in just about any junkyard.” Before going judging the guy for cutting the springs to achieve a drop, remember what kind of car we are discussing here so when this was happening. It’s not exactly the most common chassis on the planet, consequently aftermarket support was notWhich had been in 1989-24 years ago. That’s how long they have had this car. But he didn’t really focus on seriously modifying it till around 2003. Given each of the other chassis he owns, we can see why. But the car was never pushed too far to the back of his mind; he was simply biding his time. Although he wasn’t doing any actual modifications to this particular vehicle over those years, he was gathering inspiration and ideas from numerous places, formulating his vision for the purpose the car would look like. The planet-renowned Option videos and numerous Japanese magazines including Hyper Rev and Nostalgic Hero turned out to be invaluable sources of inspiration. Over the years, Javier developed quite a love for drifting, subsequently he also perused Drift Tengoku magazine. For people unfamiliar with that publication, it was actually the first automobile magazine devoted to drifting and the art of driving sideways, along with a sister publication to the famous Option and Option2 publications. Javier’s passion for drifting was strong that he or she decided to compete as a drifter using a Hachiroku that he had, but grew tired of that chassis and decided to drift the Celica Supra. Wanting and needing a certain amount of power, Javier turned to his buddy, normally the one-and-only Michael Urbano (RIP) to help you him swap a 2JZ into the old MA60 chassis, unheard of in those days in the States. With Urbano’s help, the auto fired up and was good to go; Javier drifted the vehicle to his heart’s content. In Japan, Drift Tengoku caught wind of how serious U.S. drifters were getting, so they decided to come to the United sanction and States an invite-only drift competition. Javier had the privilege of competing against some of the biggest names in drifting today, and this was years ago. “Some of the participants included Alex Pfeiffer, Calvin Wan, Ken Gushi, Andy Yen, Benson Hsu, Taka Aono, Hiro Sumida, yet others,” Javier says. “I came in Second Place with all the 2JZ-GTE Celica Supra, Andy Yen arrived First, and Pfeiffer arrived in Third.”

With that sort of passion and the like a prestigious accomplishment under his belt, Javier kept up with drifting but eventually decided to take a rest. “My car was not properly setup for high-speed drifts. Suspension was not available-and still isn’t-for the car, making it impossible to control. I had some offers on the table for sponsorships, but I knew drifting wasn’t going to pay the bills. I decided to take a break from drifting and acquire a profession.” On the following years Javier sort of drifted through life (pun intended). He worked like a graphic mechanic, designer and welder and salesman-careers as diverse as the chassis he owns. But through all this he found his calling and locked down a career. In 2003 Javier was reunited with his secondary school sweetheart, who became a deputy sheriff shortly after they became reacquainted. “That’s what motivated me to pursue police force,” he says. Javier has been working as a police officer since 2008.

With all the stability of any established career, Javier surely could focus on building the MKII. “I now had the money to restore the Celica Supra. The 2JZ that was in a vehicle had experienced some crank walk, so Javier devote a 1JZ motor which he had purchased years ago. When it came a chance to wire the swap up, Javier called on Aaron from Driftmotion in Upland, CA, and then he expertly took care of it. With the heart situated, Javier focused on the exterior of the vehicle. In Japan, there is no Celica Supra, it is known as the “Celica XX.” So Javier purchased the XX badges after which designed and made the decals that you see on the side of the doors to tie from the old-school look and the white paint, accenting beautifully from the rare Hayashi Racing Epsilon mesh wheels that the vehicle rests on.

“I am now a father of three and still own every one of those projects and hope to one day complete them,” he says. Together with his rich automotive background and long-lasting love for things automotive, we look forward to seeing what Javier is able to create with those projects alsoLaw Enforcement

1991 Volkswagen Corrado – Big Sean

CARPHOTO-4022

We hate to inform some of you this although the tuning scene doesn’t center around Japanese cars. On the other side of your Atlantic, Volkswagens are one of the most owned and modified cars in Europe, in fact, the globe for that matter. And even though Super Street has never given Veedubs much recognition in the past, we’re always researching ways to improve whatever we bring to the table. So while the haters can turn the page, we want to invite the remainder of you to have a look at among the best Volkswagen project cars built on American soil.

The Jetta and Golf are the most famous cars carrying the VW badge but this showstopper here is a Corrado-an extinct model in the VW lineup. The last Corrado that rolled from the assembly line was in ’96; however, despite its limited lifespan, these were still regarded as one of the best driver’s cars of its time. Rados are small, nimble handling machines, also offered with two peppy powerplants-a supercharged 1.8-liter as well as a meaty 2.8-liter VR6. These solid attributes along with its old school Euro-sexy looks were what made them attractive to enthusiasts like Florida native, Sean Landregan.

Simply put, Sean’s Rado is on another level. It represents towards the tee exactly what the

VW scene has been about for the last decade. You don’t need any crazy widebody conversions or tons of parts. Instead, the very best Euros have already been about being clean, subtle and slammed without getting too cluttered with hardware and stickers-something Sean has perfected here.

The story of his ’91 Corrado started out like a daily driver-something all of us can relate to. Right after the tranny blew, it was time for the rebuild and that’s when Sean went H.A.M. Being a paint and the body guy by trade, he used his own car to show off what he could do. The fenders were pulled to accommodate wider wheels while the body was removed of its hood washers and emblems for an ultra-clean look before being sprayed BMW Interlagos blue. Taking his skills as a body technician further, the bay was shaved to perfection losing every hole, crease and unnecessary bit of hardware at the same time.

The rest of the build received exactly the same attention to detail with a fully-built turbocharged VR6 motor which had been polished and chromed. A flawless interior came next which had been reupholstered from head-to-toe in suede and leather. The wheels are one of the car’s more recent updates, now wearing Rotiform INDs dipped in chrome. And naturally, the chassis was slammed appropriately via air-ride.

While the Corrado’s spec list may not match some of the rides we typically feature here, this build is about making the fit and finish look perfect, instead of trying too hard. It truly is a work of art and a prime example of what most Euro guys aspiring to today if you happen to get a chance to think about Sean’s Corrado in person.tech and painter

Keeping Junior Happy in the Car

Every parent has been there. It really makes no difference whether you’ve set off on a long road trip or are simply doing the school run . . . unhappy children and car journeys do not mix. Crying, screaming and struggling to get out of the car seat . . . it’s the stuff of nightmares.

OCFIAT2-1

The thing to remember is that children get bored and they get uncomfortable just like adults, but they don’t care how much they let you know about it.
There are a few ways you can keep your kids amused, or at least a little bit happier when they are in the car . . . and happy children does mean happy parents after all.
Keeping Infants Happy
• Remember that younger babies and children cannot regular their own body temperature so make sure that they are neither too hot nor too cold. Remember to keep them snug and warm in the winter and cool in the hotter summer months.

• At around six or eight months many children start to move around of their own accord which may mean that being strapped into a car seat is an even bigger problem. Once they are old enough to be seated in a more upright position so that they can look out of the window it helps to keep them occupied, otherwise a few rattles and toys fixed to the car seat may help to keep them amused.
• Make sure that the sun isn’t shining directly into their eyes. Many parents use stick on sunshades these days . . . make sure that it is in the correct location for maximum effect.

• Even if your baby can’t see you while you are driving, let them know that you are there. Speak to them in soothing tones or perhaps sing along to some lullabies and tunes. These don’t necessarily have to be baby songs . . . many infants end up loving the same tunes as their parents after being brought up on a diet of them.
Keeping Toddlers Amused
Lively toddlers may find it even more frustrating to be strapped into a car seat for a lengthy journey. As your child gets older he will be able to understand that the car seat will keep him safe for the journey and that he will be able to climb out as soon as you’ve reached your destination. Until that time you may want to try some of these ideas:
• Distraction – this works wonders. Have a special selection of toys which are only to be used in the car . . . make sure that these toys are soft and car proof like soft blocks, books, stuffed animals and dolls. If these toys are only available in the car it can make it more interesting for your child.
• Music – is another great distraction, particularly if you choose some sing along tunes.
• If your toddler is positioned so that he can see out of the window . . . even when rear facing . . . have a chat about what he can see. Talk to him about what’s there . . . perhaps a house or a church, the other cars or a big bus, how about a field of cows or perhaps some trees or tractors. This can form a valuable part of their education as they learn and grow.
These are just a few of the ideas and strategies you can use to keep your younger children happy in the car. There are some superb cars for sale at fiat costa mesa for you to see and take a test drive. Check them out at http://www.ocfiat.com

1992 Nissan 240SX – Topless Bunny

CARPHOTO-4002

Everyone as well as their brother has produced a Nissan 240SX or knows a person who has. We’ll be honest, too; it’s one of the most featured cars somewhere between these pages, which is why we also put together an all S-chassis issue last October. But may you blame us? It’s by far among the sexiest and a lot affordable rear-wheel drive coupes that can be tailored to do whatever your heart desires-street drift, track or show. Its versatility is amongst the car’s many beauties, not to mention the tuning options are practically unlimited. In spite of the S-chassis being discontinued by Nissan for years, you may still see they are still as popular in the scene as they were back then, which is why enthusiasts like Richard Fisher owns, not one, but two S-chassis project cars!

The sexy topless S13 is Richard’s latest creation. Before dipping into Nissans, the Chicago native messed around with a couple Volkswagens and an STI. When heAs the exclusive distributor for TRA Kyoto’s Rocket Bunny line, they killed the scene with cars like their all-black, LS-swapped S13 that graced the cover of our Nissan issue last year. Quality cars and great craftsmanship was the reason people like Richard went to them to help create his first S-chassis project, a 450hp LS2-swapped S14 track monster. This time around it would be for a much different purpose, although richard loved it so much he picked up this ’92 convertible for his next build.

“The whole idea behind this build wasn’t necessarily for function but more for looks,” David Lee of TF Works told us. “It wasn’t built to run the fastest lap time but was meant to turn heads. Richard saw our black Rocket Bunny car and fell in love with how it looked with the wheel and flares fitment. We wanted to go with a similar kind of look when it came to his convertible.”

The drop top was already a rare model of the 240 and fitting it with a Rocket Bunny kit would only make it very much sweeter. Before it was actually slammed via new coilovers and rear control arms from Stance USA, tF Works ordered beefy 18×9.5 front and 18×11.5 rear Work Meister wheels to fill the over-fenders. TF Works convinced him to complement the bronze wheel color giving a lovely contrast, because Richard desired to paint the automobile white. Adding the final touch to the exterior was the signature vinyl scheme that follows suit to the original Rocket Bunny cars.

1992 nissan 240SX convertible racetech 4000 seats

If you notice the convertible top looks different from the rest, it’s because Richard wanted the pillars taken off. “There’s a pillar where window sits that holds the seat belt harnesses,” David explained. “He didn’t like how it stuck out so we chopped it well and filled the area up. Then we ripped out the convertible top and filled that in also.” Just what does that mean? You’re looking at an S13 that’s permanently topless now!

To the interior, Richard did a few unique things which stick out like a sore thumb. The seats aren’t your typical race buckets or recliners. Instead the driver and passenger relax comfortably in a pair of Racetech 4000 low-back seats-don’t find out about the seatbelts. Designed for custom and boats car builders, these are typically short enough so you can’t see them when looking eye level with the car.

We can’t also forget about the trunk. Richard figured the S13 would only be utilized for summertime cruising; he might too invest some cash into a good audio system. So TF Works transformed the entire rear in a sub enclosure by ripping out the seats and installing a ginormous 15 Alpine sub within a custom box.

Of course, TF Works couldn’t let a 240 leave the shop without having a bit of power. So, they swapped in a JDM SR20 motor along with a few necessary bolt-ons like a bigger S15 turbo, full exhaust and cams.carried out to the car but that’s the good thing about it. This is just a prime example that you can build an S-chassis car however you want to. In Richard’s case, he’s filled two voids in his life. He already has an LS-powered S14 for that track and today he can cruise around and pick up chicks in his widebody S13 drop top.

“No one I’ve seen has ever remove the pillars or turned the whole rear into a sub enclosure,” David concluded. “It’s diverse from what the majority of the S-chassis guys are doing now. Richard already has a serious car that can run circles around anything on the track but this is certainly cool to check at and like hardly anything else on the street.”

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe – Carbonated

CARPHOTO-3982

With only 2700 units produced contributing to 750 sold in the US, the 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe remains one of the more sought after M models ever.

With such exclusivity and an undeniable prowess in both performance and the looks department, the used market for these rare gems has soared, with models selling close to $70k. Also have it as a marketing tool for his company, even though with this in mind Alberto Torres, CEO of Slek Designs in Long Beach, CA, decided he would not only buy a completely new one from the lot.

Starting life being a pristine Alpine White 1M, Alberto’s ride was special even in stock form. But also in the BMW tuning market it can take a lot to stand out. I wanted to use the limited edition car to get attention for us, Alberto explained. Since the purchase of the birth and car of the company were simultaneous, his plan made sense, and at only 23 yrs old, it seems he knowsaround the BMW aftermarket; designing and manufacturing carbon fiber components for cars like the E9X M3, F30 3 Series, 128/135i as well as the 1M, with additional on the horizon.

With 14 employees, the Slek carbon parts are of top quality to many competitors and the aggressive styling suits the cars well, especially this 1M.

With only three colors available for the vehicle from BMW, Alberto wanted something exclusive, and red suits the automobile beautifully, exposing its masculine lines and massive fenders. So, daring to become different, Alberto wrapped the white exterior in a Carmine Red vinyl cloak, applied by Precision Dynamix in Irvine, CA.is an excellent contrast on the red, so Slek manufactured a front lip, rear diffuser, side skirt splitters, trunk and hood for the car. If you’d like to adorn your 1 Series the same way, every one of these parts are actually available for purchase.

The 1M is known for its near perfect handling, so Alberto felt a set of H&R springs will bring a good compromise of ride height lowering while keeping the car usable every day.

After some light massaging from the fenders by LT Motorwerks in El Monte, CA, they could actually fit massive 19×12 HRE C20 wheels out back, with meaty 315/25 Michelin PS2 tires. Up front they haveAs a result, the N54 motor screams at wide-open throttle, with all the glory BMW’s straight-six twin-turbo can muster.

Thanks to the extra boost and much more aggressive software mapping, the 1M now makes more than 400hp, resulting in the wide tires to squeal in second gear.

After he was finished, Alberto was approached with an offer most couldn’t refuse: I needed to keep the auto, I love it too much. It’s too much fun, he laughed. We wouldn’t let go either, we approve of his decision because if we had a 1M.

Moving forward, Slek Designs hopes to open a design studio to focus on creating parts for other manufacturers, instead of fabricating and manufacturing their own. There will still be Slek parts, and Alberto intends to design pieces for every new BMW before eventually moving onto more several exotic badges.and others.

There’s something to be said for modifying a car that numerous see as already perfect. We can vouch for the stock 1M’s ability to make a grown man salivate at the mere site from it, but when approached from a new angle with delicately sculpted carbon fiber parts, a number of the world’s finest wheels and further horsepower, Alberto has certainly made his BMW 1M even better.

With enthusiasts in agreement, Slek parts are currently flying off the shelves, so keep an eye out for products out of this young company.

And if it’s natural goal that you’re discussing, the method typically becomes much more complicated.

Speedfactory Race has a bit of a knack for creating and rushing quickly Hondas. Its outlaw Civic flirts with all the name of fastest from the class, has formerly landed in the top spot, and regularly can be applied tension to anyone in close up nearness. Thus it should certainly be not surprising that its All Engine hatchback has viewed some significant success simply because it landed in the internet pages of Honda Adjusting magazine way back in 2011. During that time, Sipes Bros., after combining forces using the Speedfactory camp, handled a 10.52 with more than 370 whp pumping from the well-created 2.6L K generator. About a 12 months following the article happened to run, the team scored their private very best, an outstanding 10.08 at 133 facing a loaded house through the World Mug Finals, in addition to winning the 2012 Western side Shoreline AMP things race. Avid Auto racing took notice from the regular progression along with the team’s professional job ethic and jumped aboard because the car’s name sponsor. Skunk2 also became a member of a list of followers to help further build the All Engine software searching for much more potential. For a clean start, the very first motor was dragged and parted out, along with the forthcoming Bakersfield Import Experience Off of function, only two months apart, ended up being to function as an unbreakable timeline for your team to come up with essentially a brandname-new automobile. Speedfactory brings, We traveled to work building the brand new motor and fender exit header, and sent the chassis out for your Avid Race vinyl cover. The team rallied to obtain the vehicle operational, though we got it back merely a full week just before we had to leave to the competition, and that we experienced a lot to do. The to-do checklist was without a doubt very long.

The team also notes which it was a very difficult process to find the airbox situated appropriately and successfully, and therefore the process stole two whole days committed to style and manufacturing.

Using the vehicle comprehensive and soon after investing much more time than envisioned about the dyno sorting out a number of minimal issues, the group identified their selves willing to do battle by Friday early morning–just a couple of days and nights before the major celebration. The 15-additionally-60 minutes drive from Washington toCa and Bakersfield, was the following challenge, then some final prep in the parking area from the motel on Weekend. Speedfactory recalls the event as well as the report-busting manage, Weekend morning at IFO the auto ran nicely and also the very first qualifying pass netted a new personal better of 10.01 at 136.38 miles per hour. We were delighted, and right after looking at the fall and datalogs, we recognized we might improve on that complete. The appropriate changes were actually created to the track, and we were actually prepared to operate a 9-secondly complete. The first eradication rounded had been a bye run, but we made a decision to work the vehicle all-out given that we essential your data. We will not have thought the auto would operate what it really performed: 9.84 at 137.57 miles per hour, a new record for that street all electric motor type! We had been in amazement, we simply couldn’t think it. We came out for the next round, hoping to run plus the prior a single, but this time around we gone even quicker with a 9.81 at 137.38 miles per hour, not only support it up, but resetting the history yet again.

Whenever we went the first write-up about this car this year, Jacob Sipes crafted a extremely striking document during that time, one which the Sipes brothers and Speedfactory have certainly backed up: We want to remain in the top of the the class and we’re not halting anytime soon. We are going to be at the top. Goal completed.
