So, that is my daily driver , a Toyota Avensis.I work at DefultCreation so they gave me the car , it was pretty much bone stock and they wanted it to be cusomized so they can advertise their company...soon as i got this baby in my hands i started working on it: -Rims And Tires The factory rims and tyres were the first thing to be replaced.So ,i went over to a buddy who owned a Rim shop and asked him what rims would fit the Avensis best.He told me that a set of 19x11 J-Line SSL2 rims were just the thing , and he also suggested that i wrap them around in Toyo Proxes 255/15/R19 tires. After , hhhmmm , 15 or 20 minutes of looking carefully for rims , i chose them. -Engine and Drivetrain On my way home from the Rim Shop , different things conquered my mind about the engine , like , should i do a swap?modify the current one?Mess about with the ECU?this and that.Long story made short , i went home , and headed directly for the fridge lol.while i was having last night's dinner (lol i can't cook for sh1t) , the 4A-GE i had in my garage hit my head.So i went in my "lab" and got busy. Took out the 2.0L D-4D petrol engine fromm the Avensis , took me a lot of time, i just lefft the car there and started working on the engine: Bought a stroker kit from HKS for the 4A-GE , custom made camshafts , port and polished the head , twin disc clutch , aluminum flywheel and a bunch of other stuff , i assembled the engine and put it in the car.New brakes were mandatory ater such a modification.Vented Discs along with SL Tuners carbon 4-piston Race Grade pads did the job. Also made the car AWD , pain in the ass.Took the rear suspension out of a 94 Toyota Supra , modified the chassis so i can fit the kardan and the gearbox , came along just fine.Dyno'ed it at DSpeed Performance , specially tuned by my friend Diego , the car gave 356 AWHP @ 6250 RPM. -Exterior & Interior Well , both exterior and interior are pretty much stock, interior got some gauges to keep track of the engine's status , GPS , new steering wheel.Exterior got painted gloss black by David over at DefaultCreation (the place where i work) , new exhaust , and license plates writing DefaultCreation. Haven't been to the drag strip with it yet , more to follow as it evolves. |
