So... starting this with the Supra.

I picked up a sweet set of HKS Coilovers at Upgarage for a great deal. Link
So I'm not Offroad style anymore!

Also took some tinting foil for the front and rear lights.

Plus a little can-job for the badges! The black-out!

Only stupid thing now... I can't stand the 19" wheels.... Stupid me. So... now need to see If I could swap those for some 18x10.

Yesterday evening I met some of the locals I know from the workshop at a local carpark.

After some chatting and shit talking' we went down due coastline for some midnight togue!
Had a blast I tell you.

For some reason my dash lights are dead!? But I get that sorted out by the Weekend.

I got a nice offer for an engine. What do you think? Is it worth to change my 2JZ for a tuned 1JZ? Not that I would have enough cash by now....

Now looking' forward to the Round 3 drift comp.

if your 2j is non vvti and the ijz inst bulit on the botton i would buy the top part only but if the 1j is built on the bottom take it completely

JZA80 x JZZ30, that is a good tandem! I think you should jump on the 1JZ deal, just check the oil through the oil filler cap to see if the head's still lubricated and not rusted out. Soarer conversion? Hmmmm

Well it's just a complete engine. The guy wouldn't take it apart. I should get a spec list so I might post it. But thanks for your advise.

Thx, yeah they team up well 🙂 I'd need to raise some money first and the 2J deliveres enough power for now. But we'll see.

Small update on the Mk.IV.

Went to Upgarage to browse around but found a set of really nice 18" Work Gnosis GH1's. url=https://www.upgarage.com/service/en/stock/detail/197/1803197006003[/url]
As Upgarage buys parts as well I made a sweet deal with my 19ers and an hour later the deal was done. Plus 200V$ in my pocket.

Saturday and Sunday I stayed in Osaka to see my mate Alexi at D1GP. Found a descent place to park the Supra. 🙂

It was awesome!
I need to get the SC300 to the track ASAP!

So what happened during the last days; showed the Supra some love with turtle wax and went to a Supra Meet later that evening. That brought up some new Ideas what to do with my Mk.IV.

For the SC300 I got myself a hydraulic handbrake!

And some stickers 🙂

Than yesterday at Nikko I thought it might be a good Idea to change the rear tires to the front as they where pretty worn out. That masterminding action caused a bad understeering and a minor contact with a barrier.

Aren’t zipties great? So for now I might keep the missile look until C88’sDrift Comp Rnd.3 took place.

I just don't want to have the so called "big accident"! 😉
Not sure with the Aero yet. I gotta set up the tech stuff first.

Besides... just had a long car chat to my friend at home and the Mk.IV got a new home!
You might wonder how this came up so fast, but my buddy at home is a true Supra lover and I gotta say I enjoy working on cars and in my opinion
a Supra Mk.IV is almost perfect looking and performing as it is. Same with Rx7's (MACKAY might understand).
So now I got a bit more spending money for the SC300.
Plus: There are two nice projects on yahooooooo.

"Minor contact"
Looks like DABARU KRASHU IKOSE

Yeah, I understand you man, I enjoyed working on it, but I am not a Mazda guy as we see, Nissan runs in my blood haha.. I am sure you will find something else to work on, better things are coming! Can't wait to see what kind of projects you have in mind. :thumbsup:

NEW CAR!

As my yahoo spotting didn't work out the way I wanted I searched through Goo-Net and found a reasonable AE86 Levin located in Hiroshima.

Toyota Corolla Levin GT APEX

year: 1983
milage: 315.000 km
Displacement: 1.6L
Repaired: yes

So yes a high milage Levin with a crash history is now mine! 4.486,82 V$ but as we know. those Hachiroku's are not cheap any more.

On my way home from Hiroshima the car felt quite okay. Well clutch is gone and 3rd gear just not exciting besides the lag of power from the engine.
As I got back i noticed the first broken taillight kinda disappeared 🙂

Today I went bit shopping crazy at upgarage for my JZZ30!

Dr_Zoom

why you bought AE86 with gearbox problem... They are not cheap.

Mr_Stance

For TRD 3S-GE BEAMS SWAP , Duuuuh :vvvvvvv

# Dr. Zoom :

Well... the price was reasonable and so far I don't know if there is a big problem with the gear box. So It probably was a good deal tho. 🙂

Nice Idea man, but I'll stay with a 4. 😉

Just placed an order at D-Max for some suspension parts.
So another 800V$ are gone but in a couple of days the work could start on the Soarer.

radcoon

NEW CAR!

:facepalm:

No... it's not another project. I guess. Basically got it because at this point I got no running car.

It's a 1993 Toyota MarkII Grande. Not that I like it that much. But it was the fairest thing below 100.000VYEN in Tokyo.
It still got 3 month of registration and insurance. Runs quite okay. Probably the ugliest daily around.

°LINK°

don't mind the 2.5L badge... it's just 2.0L

Not running Levin

Brought the AE to the close workshop and the guys took out the engine after I disassembled the body parts. So I was able to work on the soarer by that time.

The engine and gearbox will be sit around for a while. As I might work on the chassis first.

Legless JZZ30

As we little boys are hard to be patient with new toys I installed Nardi, Seat and Belt first. I'll get better pics soon.

Getting closer to a "racer" now.

So while there was work going on on the Levin, my buddy and me took off the whole suspension (well it took the whole night). Coffee helped as well!

As well installed the Tomei so the Soarer is ready when the D-Max delivery is arriving.

That's it for the moment.
