Team Side By Side

What up errrbody, It's Jordan.
Well clearly we all have a lot of work to do this winter but we made it out as much as we could and had plenty of fun this summer. Matt and I got some sick street tandems in, we got to hit up the biggest comp of the summer, thanks to 93X and NOS, and plenty of awesome practice days in between. Without a doubt next year will be much better.
I'll see if I can sum up the rest of our summer with a few of my photos. Sorry I don't have photos of everyone.

Road America next on the Agenda!

Well its been a while but we have all been pretty busy doing our own thing, Myself switching jobs, stacking tires and gettin a new clutch in for MWC round1.

Elvis the busiest of us all has been swapping out the rear end of his Z31 for S13 rear subframe, and also bolting in his roll cage. He got an amazing deal from Emotor and was given a full rear suspension kit for an s13 along with adjustable coilovers for a discounted price! Should be ready for Road America!!

Elvis has been pretty busy lately installing his cage getting his new shop going and preparing his car for MWC. It has been pretty hectic lately. He is currently converting his Z31 rear end to s13 to correct his camber issues, also to make it more adjustable. He is currently just waiting on parts to arrive from E Motor. Here is a few shots of his conversion so far.

Recent Development

Well still has been pretty slow around here, everyone doing a little here and there to get there car going. Elvis is mocking up a cage, so he can do tandem this year, also he has a s13 rear end he is going to be swapping in on his Z. I just need to get a support plate for my rear shock towers and a couple little things on my suspension, and then should be all good to go. Should be a great year this year, cant wait for spring!

Austin has a little project he wont reveal til he has it done but i do have a picture of what he is doing as of now.

Brandon is pulling out his SR in a couple weeks, and installing an LS2 so that should be pretty sick.

Chao just got an oem 7mgte clutch. He still needs 1jz flywheel and bell-housing. thinking about driftmotion light weight flywheel. Hes been looking for clutch pedal and clutch master cylinder; thinking about mk3 supra from junk yard if he can find one. After all this needs to get suspension. He is gonn try to unleash my beast this year. He just wants to be able to use his fullest ability to build this car. including fabricating the chassis.

As you can see everyone is working on their cars to be ready for this up and coming season.

and now sick vid

Starting the site

2009-11-03T12:21:00.000-08:00

Sup my name is Matt, im a member of team side by side, i wanted to start up this site to help put the team on the map. Rather than just having locals know us. We do events practices, and we are trying to get demos worked out for our team at some local tracks next season.

This season i joined the team pretty late, but still got to slide a couple events around the area. I've been sliding my car open diff since i bought it and just welded it up last week. Anyways the team made alot of events, some just a couple members made it to, but as for this season this is about all the events and practices we are able to have. Also its gettin cold and snowy out so now its build time ha. Couple people have some projects to finish up others have suspension and motor work they are going to do. I'll be updating pretty much everything we do from now on out on here so if your interested everything will be up on here.

As for this coming season we plan to get each member out to every event and get as many practices in at local track, and do as many demo's as we can to get better. So far we will for sure be doing the Raceway Park events, ELKO, and DDYK events.

anyways got bored and made this
