I bought this car almost a year ago and just had intentions of driving it daily, but then my curse word friends convinced me to drift. So yeah, this is my drift car, blah blah blah. The goods: - 1JZ-GTE (In progress) - W58 Five-Speed - XTD Stage 3 Clutch - Long-nose R200 Rear End - Tokico Illumina 5-Way Adjustable Shocks - Eibach Pro-Kit Springs - Rear Sway - BRE Hangers - Nismo Steering Couplers - Nismo T/C Kit - Polyurethane Bushings - MSA Type III Air Dam - Sparco Sprint - S13 Dash Pictures... Before I tore it up...     And after...    Dash swap, its brown, but not for long....  Test fitting my friends wheels...15x10 -38. I'm getting the same but 16x10.   Still a lot of work. I'll keep you guys updated... - Ian. |

Thanks for all the feed back. I'm actually friends with Eddie (1JZ, '73 MarkII Wagon), we build cars together and stuff.
I'll keep the updates coming.

But that's no fun. Too many Z owners are scared of "hurting their babies", time for fun.

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Well, got some more parts in today from a friend at Enjuku Racing.
Got a 2JZ-GE bellhousing, clutch fork, and throwout bearing. Only thing I need for the rear of the motor is driveshaft and clutch slave.
Going to finish stitch welding today hopefully. I plan on having the motor on mounts, held up by the chassis in the next two weeks.
Mounts will be made from tube, designed by me, final welds done by Rob at FlipSideCustoms.com.

Rear sump is now in my garage. My buddy Mark traded it to me for the front-sump I have.
Also traded a 2JZ-GE clutch fork for a MKIII Supra clutch slave.
Everything is going good so far.
A lot of work left.
Motor is going in next week.
