Damn this is a bad ass build! when do you think your going to get it out on the pavement to burn some rubber?

Motor I picked up yesterday. It is a s14 KA. going to end up going fully built KA-T. the probably next year go v8 turbo.



Who needs a ignition coil anayways?? not sure how the car was running when the motor was pulled. lol


Going to have some wiring to do...


Pre plasti-dip and after,

HAHA yea it is funny because i have been doing it at my house for the last year, and only doing people that I know or people that heard of me threw other customers, but now is out of control. I have been working on business plan this week so I can get anodizing, hydro-graphing tanks and the big new shop open. 


ut as for build, got my paint for the engine bay today. Also pretty much finished stitch welding everything, so hopefully tomorrow i can finish taping up everything in the engine bay. I also plasti-diped some plastics pieces. they look brand new!

You are going to be a popular dude if you do powder coating!

Was goign to be painting the car Bayside blue with green pearl... BUt then I saw this color...


Went to drop off the RX7 to a guy that bought it in austin. Bye Bye buddy.


O and I also forgot to mention.... I am the King.


And now we are caught up to today.


I would be further if I did not have customers parts to powder and ceramic coat. lol

Went over to help Daniel. we established that you have to use bolt cutters when cutting Nissan wiring. Think I figure out why his car is having electrical issues. lol j/k


Starting to slowly get some parts powder coated.


Preping the car for stitch welds. gatta get all that sealent off.. that crap stinks when it burns. It catches on fire too.


Got a cusco cage, but think I am going to sell it soon. I got it in a trade for some powder coating work, but I am going to go weld in.


Chop Chop


Built a center piece for gauges. I am going to move the radio up to where the ac was. Yes I need a radio while drifting. On a side know I produce electronic music, and am an Audio Engineer. lol

Yanked seats out


Bye bye pick and green rear end. lol


Fixed the body damage on the door real fast. going wide body so not fixing the rear 1/4's.


Went "I LOVE GOLD" Going to Powder coat once the new shop is open.

Hey everyone. A lot of yall know me, but for those that don't I am Shane Vasquez, Owner of Texas Coatings. Quick past started racing back in 02-03 and was into drifting back then but just messing around nothing serious. (Not much was serious back then in drifting.) Since San Antonio is a big drag racing I have been doing that for a few years. In 2010 i opened a performance shop which evolved into a powder coating shop. Well started getting back into drifting again like last year, and had an FC that i was going to build but do not have funds for a 20b build right now. So picked up this S13 from Daniel Schults. Have had it for a month so decided I will get the build thread going. Going to try to get a pic of the night i picked up the car from Matt, but will start where i have pics of it.

this makes me sad

Some go pro off the Tyler Cox missile car. I had so much fun drifting at this demo we did! I got 105 laps out of 4 new tires and two dead ones! Thanks Kenda : )

The car was great in tandem with it's tiny T28RS turbo and big 265 tires.  Fast and fun.  You can hear me have to clutch kick it a ton as I rotate ebrake grabs and clutch kicks trying to hold the car back so I can match the other car's speed.  This car is a little rocket ship in tandem : )
