Swapper Garage: Goodbye Sendai, Hello again Tsukuba!
Yes, I have returned to Tsukuba! , I went back because soon I will open my store, and the space of the workshop in Sendai is very small, and in these days that I was absent, I was doing the move ...
And yes, that's what you think, it's the old workshop, from the time we created Driftstream, when I had the 1JZ-GTE 180SX and the 2UZ-FE S13.4 Zenki (I lost them with the fire that occurred in the workshop) , I have many memories in this workshop, And I love it!
Besides the workshop has a kind of paint booth, and the exterior has a good space for the idea of the auction section and car sales of more than 25 years to import to U.S.A, There will be new things in this place, and we will have a great time in this workshop!
Speaking of new things ...
 
As you know, I have a place in my heart for the AE86 (Like anyone, Duhhh ...), They are cars that I always liked! , I grew up watching Initial-D, and I had a couple of those (Both levin's if I remember correctly ...)
And as you also know, I bought a couple of these a few days ago ...
Stratowolf sold me an AE86 Trueno Hatch 1983 Rolling shell, with a set of Volks TE37 17-inch wheels, a 4AGE Blacktop swap ready to place with the original t50 5-speed gearbox ...
Before yesterday arrived at the workshop from Italy with the engine and the transmission placed in the saddles to facilitate the shipment, but without the ecu, driveshaft and all those things that were packed and stored in the car, We took advantage and we started to install things ...
Today we just finished placing all the parts and we did the first test ...
The car works extremely well! , Soon I'll take it to register so it's legal for the street! , And i painted the hood with spray , because the paint is chipping off , and because ae86 + black hood and popups = RACECAR !
I LOVE IT !
And speaking of AE86, I also bought another in a Yahoo Auction ...
This is an AE86 Levin 1984, Fairly abused, Although with an acceptable condition , I bought it for 2300 V$ , the car is in good shape , but has several problems ...
First of all, it does not look good for an ae86 with the factory exterior, a bumper replica vortex with its matte black paint, if it were the whole bodykit maybe, I'll save the bumper just in case, because maybe you buy the full vertex bodykit .. .
The exterior painting is a disaster, and there is superficial rust, but nothing that can not be resolved , The car comes mounted on watanabe wheels of 14 inches, on some tires that can not stand any more, I have to change the tires ...
The interior is acceptable, but has several things that are wrong, for example the seats are with the upholstery very worn and broken, even have moisture and mold, like the panels of the doors ...
And the engine, It is the 4AGE Bluetop stock, It is seen that the engine transpired oil in many parts, and was stopped for about 5 years, it could be a serious failure, for the doubts I will remove it to that engine, and maybe I will place a 4AGZE of an AW11 MR2 Supercharged, It's a pretty viable option ...
 
Also, today I washed and wax the 240sx, because it was getting quite dusty this time that was stopped, I can not wait for the new date of Super-D, We are looking forward to Saletl to say the date! , For while shortly I will take the 240 to ebisu to practice , Btw , I sold the Chaser ...
HEYEYEYEYEYE, WHAT ARE YOU SEEING ?! , IT IS SUPPOSED THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SEE IT!
Stay tuned for these new projects!
