[MattyBoyMR]

*****WARNING LARRRGE PICTURES******


Let me start off by saying Hi to everyone one on here, Ive enjoyed reading all your threads and build logs and it has given me all the information I needed to hopefully get mine done right. :thumb:. My goal isn't to go all crazy with it, just want something clean, fun, and just the way I want it. :D. My plans for this build is, Its getting a 5lug conversion on some 18x8's, Im going to lay it out and SFBD. But I'm going to just static drop it till I have all the parts to bag it and I believe I'm going to do a whole custom frame for it and most likely is going to have a SR20 transplanted in it with custom motor mounts so it sits like it supposed to. But I will keep you all updated as I go.

Just wanted to show you guys what I'm working on just so you know why its a going to be a kinda slow build. :D

Most recent pic I could find of the whole car...lol. Its now wingless, with carbon hood and trunk. But at the moment its waiting on it new turbo kit to get here and the engines about to be rebuilt, going for 700whp on meth this time.

Got 2 Honda Ruckus'. One has a 150cc swap and I have a 190cc Big bore, stroker and cammed motor for the other.
This one is the stock 150cc

Heres the progress I've made so far. I've got the Toyota rear end, front hubs and new rotors. Also got all new hardware and components in the rear end, brake wise that it. I painted the rear end, rotors and drums so the wont rust...god I hate rust...lol, and I got my drop blocks and Belltech drop spindles came in, so I had them machined for the conversion. My MB weapons in 18x8 +31 in Gunmetal came in, along with my Nitto Invo 235/40-18's. The gunmetals colors not gunmetal enough for me, though it was going to be like my Advan's on the Evo, but ill just get em powder coated later.
Heres some picks of the wheels on the rear end and what they look like, the conversion will be done next month just need a drive shaft back half made...and I'm tight on cash this month because I start school in July.

Thanks ya'll! I didnt expect this many replies so fast lol. Yea I love the color. I need some body work and I believe I'm doing rear pathy fenders. But its going to get repainted also the same color. I was thinking the new ZR1 Blue color, its close to what it is now...just pops a little more

[layedhardbody]

Nice Nissan, and EVO, keep us posted

[MattyBoyMR]

nice car collection.

clean ass hb!!!


and mmmmmmmmm evo :P any under hood pics of the evo?

Sure, here is pic of the old setup. It was a 35r kit. It being replaced with a Custom Full V-band PeakBoost Topmount HVS kit. I havent decided on the turbo yet though. Its between a HTA 3586 or a HTA37r.
On the setup I just sold..Which actually paid for the 5lug swap and wheels/tire. I made 500whp on 26-27 psi on 93oct. Which was on stock intake manifold, throttlebody, head and block. All i had was well supporting bolt ons =]

Im going to do a redrill and more torsion drop. But I'm having a wierd prob with positive camber after I drop it so far with the torsions...=( lol

[playsnmud]

what brand of wheels is on your evo? size and offset?

[nizmo4lyf]

how did you get that toyo rear end to bolt up to the nissan leafs?

[MattyBoyMR]

what brand of wheels is on your evo? size and offset?

The wheels on my Evo are Advan RS in 18x9 +27 all the way around wrapped in Nitto Invos 255/35-18.

And for getting the yota rear end to fit the nissan leafs...they just did....lol. When i pulled the rearend, i also got the shock plates off the toyota (the bottom plate that bolts the rear end to the leaf spring and shock bolts to it. It worked out perfectly fine. =]

[MattyBoyMR]

Just got home from picking up this shell, Plan is to swap the 5 lug to it and 6lug back to my blue Nissan. Im going to bag and body drop the shell,get a bed for it and do the same, drop a SR20DET in it, shave alotta shit, sunroof, get it painted and then have the interior done. =]. And pretty much leave my blue truck stock as my daily.

The shell pretty clean, only one small dent on the door, rest is just paint damage
Ill keep yall updated as I work on it

[wildbill89hardbody]

hell yeah sounds like a plan

[onelozu]

why arent you doing the blue one now?

[MattyBoyMR]

Well me and my gf and her fam, use my truck and its the only vehicle atm. I have school, and dont time to have my truck down. Cause my evos not running because, Peakboost went bankrupt on me and stole my money for the turbo kit they were building me. But Im debating on the colors for the new truck and I narrowed it down to 4 colors =]

[NiZMo1o1]

nice collection of cars

[Getlow2011]

Thats a perty motor right there!!!! Sweet lookin rides! my hats off to you!

[MattyBoyMR]

Thanks, my projects is what keeps me sane lol. I always gotta be doing something haha. I have to post some pics when the Evos done. Gonna be a beast, going forward facing turbo setup, cage, you name it. Aiming for 700whp. But I wana get the truck done first, it would get done alot faster if I had a job lol.

[MattyBoyMR]

Ight lil up date. The blue trucks staying 5 lug, The white ones going full coilover, but im torn between going Independent rear or keeping it solid axle. Its going to be 3/4 framed because I have to build a back half to fit my wheels because what ever rear end choice, It going to be narrowed and if Im going to back half its getting a SFBD. My goal to keep 2wd sheet metal So its going to be Staticed body dropped. Ok well heres the update. Ive had the wheels for it for a while and decided to toss em on my blue truck for a sec, for a sneak peek
18x8.5 +40 front, 18x10 +25 rear

[mk2vw97hb]

pretty toe my brotha hahah just kidding love the wheels

[bggd00frnt]

Are those the new XXR's?

[MattyBoyMR]

Lol yea I tried to keep em out but just couldnt lol, and yes they sure are there the xxr 521's, I got em for like $470 shipped and I think some Evo brembo will look pretty good tucked behind em =]

[mk2vw97hb]

^ agreed that would be (gangsta term) flyyyy!

[soloknoxdrftr]

so I'm guessing the yota rear end helped to fit larger wheels since it's a little shorter? how's clearance inside the well if you were to drop it? of course on a little stretch.

[MattyBoyMR]

good actually lol. i got about a inch of clearence on each side, so ive decided to pick up a pair of those same wheels in 18x9 for the rear to fit it a little better. And i just went and picked this up for my white hardbody which is getting a full 240sx suppension swap. And by the end of the month i should be heading to orlando to pick up a rb25 for the white one and a sr20 for the blue one. =]]

[MattyBoyMR]
