Hey people!, I've just opened up my workshop once again this year ready for the builds I'm starting, hopefully ending with a good Race/Drift car. Whatever I can work the car up to.

First, I'd like to say I'll be uploading my builds later on, since I've ordered a new chassis and hopefully it'll be here within the next few days. But meanwhile, I'd like to share the build I did last year (Sorry, no shots during the build, only the finished product).

This is my Toyota Altezza, or as the name of the car here in the UK is a Lexus IS300. So mine is pretty rare with this company name.





This car doesn't have the usual Toyota engine though. I've adjusted it slightly so fit in a RB26DETT from a Nissan Silvia S13 K's. It gives the car that much power as so the car lifts up on two wheels when taking corners, of course it takes some skill to stop it from rolling over, as so I've widened the wheels to sit further away from the car.

The car is also rolling on 18" BBS wheels all around and the stopping power is all on the four Carbon disks and Brembo calipers.

Now, this is all I can show you for now, lets move onto the chassis I'm expecting.
Unlike most people I've seen here, I'm not buying from a scrap yard, instead I've got a contact who specializes in refurbished chassis. Though it is more expensive this way, you can guarantee a rust free frame.

Now whats this car I've ordered you ask?, well I've searched around and a Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin is very, very rare in the UK.
So I'll be excited to have this come in and will be a pleasure finding parts for this car.

Edit:

Well, I didn't expect this to happen. Just as I finished typing this and went for a brew, this came in on a flatbed truck.





Looks good doesn't it?. Well now I've just used a spare box of HKS coilovers and some Mr.Sir suspension arms. Then put on some Carbon disks and black Brembo calipers (You know, for the stealth approach.)



Next I used some refurbished AE86 wheels I bought just last week for this build.



Only thing now is, for the engine, is to find a 4A-GE engine to complete the car. Then onto the body. I've chosen to take the sleeper look. Because who doesn't like the standard look, but which a hidden killer under the bonnet?
