The update on the car:
This morning I went to the local race track, there was a drift meeting, saw a lot of nice cars, and some really good parts for my car. After the meeting had finished, I went to my garage to finally do work on the coil-overs
I got these nice Koni maximum stability coil-overs for less than 900$ and a whole suspension kit for 550$.
Aaaaaand I got a really good surprise coming in a couple of hours....

As I said I was at that local drift meeting. Ofc I didn't leave without some goodies. The biggest issue with the car was that it had no engine. The original engine was a totaled stock 1JZ that had caught fire with the car, so the owner scraped it for parts. At the meeting I saw a couple of guys staying and talking, and with my bad Japanese I began talking to them. They said that they had a engine for sale, it's a original 2JZ with no modifications and I got it for 2550$ + shipping to my garage and a brand new exhaust with a genuine HKS tips and 75mm exhaust pipe. On top of that I got 2 OMP race seats with a little wear and tear for 850$.
So here is the 2JZ out of the car:
And the exhaust:
And the OMP seats:

After finishing everything up, I took the car to my friend for a fresh coat of paint, and I just had to take a photo on the highway of it.

After leaving the paint shop with a fresh coat of two-tone, yes two-tone, paint. I noticed a little garage with some cars staying in front of it. But first of all let me show you my Tezza, new paint, did a little bit of the front alignment AND I got a Kaminari front bumper to match the whole look and removed the rear spoiler.
IF ANYONE WANTS A FRONT BUMPER FOR THE ALTEZZA IT'S 100V#.
And I cleaned the engine bay so the 2JZ looks really good in the car.

So while I was driving home today I saw a garage with some cars beat up in the front. I went to that garage to see what they had, they liked my altezza and we talked about it for a while. As from their stories I found out that the garage actually participated in D1GP races back in 2006. After their crash they stopped participating there and just fix cars to be D1 ready. After looking through the garage I noticed a very nice but beat up car in the yard. I talked to the people in the garage and that car was their actual 2006 D1GP race car that crashed. After inspecting the car it looked like the chassis and structure of the car were in very good shape. So we agreed on a price of 9350$, because the car didn't have a engine, battery, rollcage, and some other issues. So let me present to you all my yellow drift car.
