My interior

If anyone was wondering I have a CA18DET motor. I have a Silvia S-15 turbine installed, TOMEI cams, 300z airflow and a GREDDY E-manage ECU controlling it all.

a closer look at my engine

:biggrin2:

I have the TEIN DRIFT SPEC TYPE HE suspension. Set to 9 kilos for the front and 7 for the rear. Japan uses the metric system so I can't give u the American equivalant.(front)

rear

somthing here doesnt seem right!

the first pic you posted is reall shitty.. you can tell its photoshopped b\c of the way the dome glass is.. thats the whole reasoin why i say you not have this car...

I hate to bust your bubble turbo2nr but see that fat black guy in the driver's seat? That's me!!

NEED MO' PROOF!!!

U NEED SOME PROOF!!! How 'bout this.. after rippin off my rear bumper extension after drifting!

Hey dude I just wanted people to see how we Americans do it in Japan. I did not expect to get blasted in such a way. But anyway back to what I was talkin' about here is a picture of what I do.. Drive sideways!!

look if this is realy your car i give you propz.. but i still dont believe you.. umm.. a black guy in japan?? that seems quite odd unless you were in the arm or sumthin and stayed there..

Listen dude I did two years in the military at Misawa AB Japan. I got out in 1996 i never left and now I work for a goverment contractor. I find it comical" a black guy in japan":lol: anyway believe it or not here I IS!! Rippin' it up for all u nonbelievers!

I don't have any problems believing him. I guess I'm just not as naturally skeptical as most people here : ). And sir, that is one fine looking beast. Even the primer paintjob is nifty. Reminds me of the old hot rods...mmm.

Thanks enecks. Most people criticize me for not having a real paint job. I have never had to prove I own this bucket of bolts!:cwm27: Usually I would've ignored any negative comments but I kinda took it personal because I did all the work on my baby! The ONLY thing I did not do was the computer and the settings. But I put my soul in this heap.......My brotha giving me dap for another tight run..

alright man.. im sorrie i was harsh but lately this forum has been flooded with posers that piss us oll members off.. u seem cool.. jus dont be like some of our other members who flame for no reason and have no respect.

japan isn't just full of azns...there are some round eyes that live there :smile:

I totally understand u! Ever since that damn Fast and the Furious movie came out, Misawa has been flooded with a bunch of "racers"and "drifters"! Just yesterday I had to blast some poser I work with! Like I always say I have no use for a car like this unless I really do what I do. *note: I posted this picture of me and my brotha rides just in case he joins. I don't want him to get attacked like I did(he the black dude with dreads giving me dap):biggrin:

Anyway thanks for letting me take up some of your time fellas! I have to bounce for now but I leave u with this last image,not saying that anyone thinks I'm lying buuutttt just in case, here is my ride when i first got it.. PEACE!

Oh and before I leave. klohiq, good lookin' out brotha!!! Keep the faith. Peace! This fo' u!

I usually don't like s13 headlights, but that car looks pretty nice. I'm even loving the flat black and the drifter style good rims up front and mismatched crap rims in the back.

I wish I lived in Japan...

i think his post number has gotten to his head. i don't understand why you don't believe him.

yeah man that does seem funny an black guy in japan :lol: :screwy: but those are some nice drifting :grinyes:

Welcome to AF. I believe you own that car. I don't see why others are in such disbelief. I guess to prove to them you own it you could right "kumakun AF" on a piece of paper, stick it to the car, and take a picture. Unless you don't have a camera on you :p.

hey kumakun.

thats a nice sileighty :D

i really dont understand why people jump to conclusions so quick on this board. they gotta atleast give the poser some time to dumb their shit up.

i havent seen u do this yet, so i believe u 100%, and cause u have more pics of the same car, with consistent details in each one. so u get my support.

and ur brother has a s13 coupe.. i envy him :grinyes:

i'll be buying one by end of the year and be converting it to a silvia just like ur bros :D

anyways.. link us wif some videos bro, we need some of that here. all these damn sceptics who dont even use Photoshop and immediately think that pics are so easily p-shoped need to learn some damn lessons.

no offense you guys,.. but i dont know where you have been for the pass 18 years, i am only 18 years old.. hehe so anyway... the last time i went to japan i believe either 2000 or 2001, i seen more black guys than chinese guys.

not to mentioned i got saw a black japanese... er.. i think the kid should follow his dad ethnicity first so, i think its called african japanese.

This is his car, I know him from 2 other sites and this really is his car.

i love your ride man. much props. i think although your car is a "beater", it still looks nicer than a lot of cars out here in the states. I dont know if im one to welcome someone to AF, but.........welcome..... :biggrin:

Thanx fellas for supporting a brotha! I do have video of me and Gami drifting but I have to buy extra software to download the video from the camera to my computer :banghead: . I am going to handle that soon so I'll keep y'all updated. Until then here are some pics of me and Big Gami. He has a 300+ SR20DET under his hood! The guy got MAD SKILLZ!! U will see!!!

another view

Gami's ride solo

Big Gami with his ride....OHMYGOD!! A black guy!!! :grinyes: Let me stop that's pretty messed up! :disappoin Anyway we'll go drifting soon so I'll have more pics. So I'll post some of Gami and myself,of course. Peace

Hey fellas I do have one question. What's the deal with photo shopped photos? I'm new to this whole computer thing. Since I was accused of doing this I thought I should know what it is, in case I need to use it :naughty:

its when someone who has Adobe Photoshop (industry standard for graphic design) decides to alter a photo to make it look different, but real at the same time.

i like corel better...though adobe is alright...

adobe illustrator is the equivalent of corel draw. but some have different preferences due to compatability and what not.


photoshop on the other hand, is a different type of image editing program.

so almost all hardcore graphic designers (www.deviantart.com has billions of those ppls) use photoshop, and another program like illustrator or C-Draw.

man...as a Sileighty freak who will be converting my car into one in the future...i must comment on how devilishly sexy that car is. that's almost exactly how i was planning to do mine. flat black with CA lights, no grille, no Kouki lights, stock bumper...excellent job man. and your brother's car is the mad rock the house too. i believe! :wink:
