Swift S15 in our shop!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

EvilRB · 04-03-2006, 08:14 PM

Hey zilvians,

let me first say that i'm not trying to advertise our shop what so ever. I don't even put a banner of our shop in my signiture, but today I came into work and saw this! Hope this isn't against the rules or anything. If it is feel free to do what you need, I just thought it would be cool to see it. We are in Santa Monica you can look it up on google, but I thought if your a Silvia fan like me and wanted to check out the car come on by. The car is SICK!!!! Carbon everything and it's beautiful! Swift Springs needed a place to store it after the Formula D show yesterday so we offered our shop. So if you wanted to see it come on by. Thanks Guys!

They are actually Team Daytona Racing 505's made by Rays. I want a set so bad..........

EvilRB · 04-03-2006, 09:00 PM

maybe it's the color that they are prototyping, but thanks for the info

alexchanman · 04-03-2006, 09:01 PM

those rims are soooooo nice. im in love with that car so much. the widebody is so smoooooth

i8yourfwd · 04-03-2006, 09:01 PM

Holy sex on wheels and sex with his wheels.. sex.. pure sex.. help

phrozen · 04-03-2006, 09:32 PM

there ion plated made by rays and by work. there not really available stateside let alone in jdm land.

EchoOfSilence · 04-03-2006, 09:38 PM

wow. just. wow.

RSP13-Sideways · 04-03-2006, 09:44 PM

And to think my company met Swift at Sema two years ago when they first came State side from Japan. Saw the building of this car and I must say I was impressed and even more impressed now.

Relatively stock suspension/brakes/engine and still an awesome car around the track. Talk about excellent balance! Nice pictures EvilRB!

Ricks15 · 04-03-2006, 10:37 PM

I bet MSRP on those

cool rims are going to be high

when they come to the states.

chmercer · 04-03-2006, 10:39 PM

uhhh stock brakes? isnt that a time attack car

jdm538 · 04-03-2006, 10:41 PM

dang is this a high end shop?

midland300 · 04-03-2006, 11:15 PM

Sick rims, sick car, shop does look high end

Yea if you re-read what I said, I said "relatively" stock meaning that the calipers are factory, brake pads upgraded, etc.

If it was all stock it wouldn't be a time attack car right?

Irukandji · 04-03-2006, 11:23 PM

Hmm.. if i whore myself out to 1000 fat guys for 10 dollars each on craigslist... I could probably afford those rims.

I saw the car at Formula D. Someone's telling you incorrect information. Those are Daytona Racing 505 by Rays and the lip is their new stainless jacket.

Are you guys still an HKS pro dealer?

EchoOfSilence · 04-03-2006, 11:33 PM

is this "brainstorm" the same shop that deals w/ miata performance productS?

EvilRB · 04-03-2006, 11:43 PM

yes we still are a HKS pro dealer and yes we are the same shop that specialized in Miatas but now we are expanding to all middle to high end JDM and european cars. but,I wouldn't call our shop high end, maybe middle end if there is such a thing lol.

as far as the stainless jacket thing I was just told by SWIFT themselves that these were prototyped rims of some sort. so your guess is as good as mine but regardless they are sick.

Like is said if you want to come by and check them out for yourself you more then welcome. you can also see our other shop cars in the background of the 3rd pic.

usdm180sx · 04-03-2006, 11:50 PM

Mine is not a guess. Look on the wheels for yourself. They say "RAYS." They are some pretty nice wheels though. Perhaps the person who told you the car has work wheels was talking about the front wheels? They do look like one of the new models Logan at A Spec posted earlier.

Regarding your pro dealer status, the reason I ask is because I was told your shop tunes the FCon VPro but when I called over there someone told me to call SP Engineering.

koukidough · 04-03-2006, 11:56 PM

damn that is one sweet looking rim

***S14DB*** · 04-04-2006, 12:13 AM

You guy clean up after we finish looking at the car?

sideview_180sx · 04-04-2006, 12:15 AM

who gives a shit about the wheels, I want fucking technoora fucking aero. i'm guessing aspec dropped the car over there after FD. giggty giggty about the hood, aero, and such. wheels eeh. TE37s fully polished, the fucking sickness make you nut on his momma and sister hotness

lol, yeah we had some issues earlier with our HKS pro dealer status before i started working there, we have new owners and they didn't fill out all the correct paper work or something, now it should be good though

Nan Desu Ka?! · 04-04-2006, 12:34 AM

wow, i need a rag or something.... god those wheels are the hawt sex

crazy9ceguy · 04-04-2006, 12:39 AM

that is the ion coating or whatever on the wheel that gives it the rainbow color lookin lip. its still in development and in the testing phase or whatever. I called mackin industry to find this out, apparently a customer of mine said it was already available and shops cna order it, but i double checked with BRS and mackin to find out and they said it wasnt, only the new stainless jacket is availble, im guessing thats why the prices went up. =)

EvilRB · 04-04-2006, 12:51 AM

^Thanks for clearing that up, Crazy9ceguy, I was about to call Swift tomorrow and find out Just because people are asking, again through it all though I'm just relaying what I was told by SWIFT. They are some pretty kool guys and their suspension is awesome!!

BTW I love your Sig
