New from Ohio!

Hey everyone! My names Tyler and I'm from Dayton Ohio. My two main projects right now are my 2006 BMW 325i and a 1993 Nissan 240sx.

I'll start by sharing the toy, my s13. I've only had the car since March and in that time I've put a redtop sr in it, threw some wheels on it and have just been enjoying the car. My main plans for the near future are just to clean the car up and focus on replancing all the worn factory parts. Originally I planned on doing an all out drift build track car, but I've recently shifted over to just wanting a really clean, simple car that isn't afraid to get a little sideways when the time is right. Now for pictures!

I bought the BMW in April of this year to replace my dying S10 that was my daily. I've always liked BMW's and was finally financially stable enough to buy one! At the moment the car is bone stock aside from replacing all interior lights with LEDs and a simple sub setup. This car is what brings me to you all. I understand it is not a VIP car, and to be honest I don't really consider my build plans to be a typical "VIP inspired" car. I do however have a lot of respect for the VIP crowd, the work they do, and the overall sense of being a family you all show to each other and newcomers. What intrigues me the most is the amount of attention to detail VIP builds possess. This attitude is what I want to carry over into my BMW. I feel with this car a "less is more" take on things, almost OEM+, will turn out great. My plans right now just include lowering it on H&R race springs and a nice set of spoked wheels. I plan to focus a lot of time on the interior of the car, and that's one of the main reasons I turn to you all. I don't feel as though the typical VIP tables and window curtains will flow with the car, but I love the reupholstered seats, headliners, ect. I'm still working on my plans for all of this so suggestions are greatly encouraged and appreciated. Here's some pictures of the e90!

Last but not least the first car I built! It's a 2005 Ford Focus. I learned so much from working on this car. It was definitely fun while it lasted! I still have it but I haven't driven it since I bought my Nissan.

Thanks guys! I've actually been playin around with the idea of selling the Nissan and getting a y34. I really like the looks of them and the price isn't too hateful for one with low miles. Just a matter of finding one.
