Hello everyone, my name is Uuri. I don't have a VIP project at the moment but that might change soon. I currently have an Evo8 that I am selling. Previous cars include a 95 S14 240Sx that I did an SR swap, kouki front end conversion, and tons of other stuff, and I was into drifting that for awhile. I do as much of my own owrk as possible and have an insatiable thirst for knowledge about esoteric cars. During this time I enjoyed watching videos of drift Estimas and pics of VIP and Bozo vehicles.

Then I "quit" modifying cars cars because my drift S14 wasn't a practical car for the rest of my lifestyle and I sold it to XAT racing in Tampa and bought a 4Runner. After almost rolling that I had enough of off road and I missed fast tarmac sol I bought an Evo. Had a blast with that but it's time for change again. I love racing and high performance but I decided I'll come back to it later when I am in a better position to do it the way I want.

I was looking for something cheap and practical and came accross a Previa S/C and suddenly remembered how much I have loved them since I first stepped into one as a kid. I'm waiting to sell my Evo to get something else, but we'll see what happens.

I've been paying attention to the VIP thing since I first got into cars in the late 90's and am thinking about taking up a project, but either way, I'm on lots of boards so I didn't want to miss out on one this good, you guys have a great thing going on here. Thanks- (arigatou)

Nice cars you guys have on here. Sorry for such a long ramble, but now you know all about me.

Hey there! I'm new here too and I also got tired of modifying cars, too many headaches and hassles trying to get them to run right. Now I too just want to have a classy car that just looks bad-ass.:cool:

welcome, if you have questions, please search first. please also read the guideline article "My Thoughts on VIP style Cars" http://www.vipstylecars.com/modules.php?name=Content&file=viewarticle&op=newarticle&id=1

it should answer some questions for you. since you come from a drift background, you should know all about wheel fitment/stretching tires, which is a good thing! lurk, chime in when you feel you need to, and overall just have a good time here.

More Mercedes is always nice. Lesser used platform in the US which makes it a great one to choose.
