View Full Version : My JZX100 Chaser, From Cruiser to Drifter
The hole was just where the pipe goes through the drivers side arch. The pipe had been rubbing off a bit of metal but I hammered that out of the way. :)
hydro all the way mate glad you managed to have some fun feckin bumpers lol be cheaper for you to buy a mould and make ur own although it is the first you managed to break while actually drifting
Cheers Dave. :) I know, ya. Hard parking usually claims them. :D
Gay update, but...... after three hours of faffing about today the sliding rail in my car finally works and the DW seat is finally central and not over to the left and isn't stopping the handbrake from being pulled. Woop!
I think Gem has a hydro there for me so must get that fitted, a 3" diameter shotgun exhaust with no boxes made up and fitted, and an ECV installed. Then it's to whatever drift day is next.
Oh and possibly a respray before finally selling the car. Long term plans.
selling????????
hummmmmmmmmmmm;)

then i have second :D
Update...
Got a hydro finally, and Gem fitted it during the week. He had some trouble with having to make up extra lines, and finding a good mounting place for it, but he got it done and it's in now, and most importantly, locks the wheels. :D
Had the car out in Mondello yesterday for a couple of hours. The faster track definitely suited me better than Port Laoise, and I basically had a ball and had no problems linking bends and having the car on the lock stops. Had a few spins going through the hole in the hedge after they watered the track, and another one at Dunlop, but other than that the car was flying.
Coming out of Honda and flicking the car hard into turn two with the throttle pinned to the floor is defintely something I want to do again pretty soon, but I'll probably try using third gear a bit more. Third was killing the tyres yesterday so I stayed in second most of the time. :)
Tried once or twice to get close to the pit wall coming out of Dunlop but I managed to blow a tyre on one attempt and started getting visions of completely slapping off the wall so I gave that up. :D
Anyhow, the bug has bitten hard, so I will be doing the next practice day at Mondello. But in the meantime I must get an oil leak or two sorted, the back bumper back on, more drift wheels, and change all fluids. So, it'll be a busy few weeks.
A few pics....

Oh ya, I almost forgot.. I have two 18x10, et -6 Lowenharts coming from Japan, so whenever they arrive I'll throw them on the car and get some rear arch work done. Had plans to respray the car while the arches were being done, but after yesterdays fun I think cash for a respray would be better spent on a cage and some adjustable camber arms. :D

so ya more then welcome
yea hope to get out soon, getn me self a tramp for the track i say soon :D
Oh right, I was on pothole and speed ramp watch so don't be looking around. Ya, that village and the Ballymore Eustace road, and the Hollywood road are all crazily bad, so I won't be driving that way ever again. I could raise the car up, but that doesn't really make sense. :p
Hopefully for the next day I'll have at least four more wheels, may get a trailer or van though because the car can only fit so many. :)
Cool, cool. Don't go spraying it, or tidying it, just wreck it. :D

oh hell yes!:cool::cool:
Spent the afternoon fixing the cracks in the rear bumper with cable ties, fitting different rear lights, swapping the wheels from back to front, and checking out an oil leak.
The Koenigs have been hitting a suspension arm on full lock, so I put the lower offset Lowenharts back on the front and that seems to have sorted that problem. The rear bumper is in shit on one side basically from being dragged around Mondello under the car, but it may do for now.

Cheers lads. Your man never bought the other lights so they're there now as spares.
Just out prepping the car now for Sunday. Taking the rear seats out for more wheel room, and checking a few bits and bobs. The car is getting an oil change, gearbox oil change, diff oil change, rocker cover gasket change, and drive shaft seal change before Sunday. The gaskets arrived today, a few days early. Thanks to Sarsfield for sorting that out. :)
Here's what €92 worth of gaskets look like.....not much really..
http://i55.tinypic.com/noafdl.jpg
I hear it's going to rain Sunday, so my plan of trying 16's for 3rd gear practice might be out the window and I may stick to the 18's.
So...... got all the fluids changed in the car today, and the rocker cover gaskets changed, but not the drive shaft seal changed because they didn't fit, which kind of sucks.
This lot all got used up..

Just finished loading up the car and I'm all set for the morning. Hopefully the weather stays like it is now and tomorrow goes well.
I seriously need to invest in a van or jeep.

UNION filters Greg ;) Nice to see you supporting us :)
Only the best. :D That's one of the older ones though, which aren't great, but it will do for a week until I get one with the new design mouth, or a Toyota one.
well greg,looking good,what was wrong with the drive shaft seals? Thats a bit of a bummer
They're bigger than the old ones for some reason, must work it out with Toyodiy today at some stage.
Right, went to Mondello Sunday and had an amazing day. A few spins here and there, but a lot more linking bends and trying out switch entries into Honda, and the odd one into Dunlop. That and trying aggressive flicks into the S bend and a bit of clutch kicking in 3rd. Had lots of fun aiming for the tyres at the S bend, and for the pit wall, but it's a bit nerve racking at times aiming your road car at a fairly unforgiving wall. Although if I started worrying about hitting shit I'd never drive the car as hard.
When they wet the track it made things very akward and a lot of hard work, but on the flip side it did make trying bigger entries that bit easier and it was a good steep learning curve.
No running problems with the car whatsoever, and it drove there fine, drifted great, and drove home again. The only problem overall really was the way I couldn't get a single 15minute session out of a set of part worns which is killing my wallet, but what can I do?
A few thanks - Diff06 for being my wing man helping out during the day, and fitting bits to the car, anybody else that helped during the day, and a big massive thanks to Derk, and Looneydrift for manning the tyre van and being flat out all day. Oh, and thanks to Ste for bringing back my bumper at the end of the day because I had given up any hope of finding it.
Ok, loads of pictures coming up. Thanks to William, driftin.co.uk, Sleepycat photography.

you were goin really well greg! and you were very smooth and relaxed looking when getting near the wall. (well looked that way from the outside)
Thanks Joey, making me blush here. haha Seriosuly thinking of making it a complete track car, but I like it on the road too much.
Cheers William. Clutch kicking to get the car across to the pit wall didn't feel very smooth. You may ask any passenger how smooth I was in the car, because I wasn't paying attention. :D
Think its defo time to take the plunge and cage it up and make it a trailer queen :D
You were flyin out there, 1j-ness rocks !
Greg, I was with William all day and everytime you passed us at the pit wall we were like :-o !
Loved the "OUCH" on the bumper. But dont sell it! Not a nicer wagon on the track.
Cheers lads. Ill decide what to do next month when I start having money to spend on the car again.

Mick K very kindly dropped down today with the kit I bought off Copeyhagen a couple of weeks ago. It needs some repiars to the wings, but for €100 it was a steal.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/250919_10150313911194535_618154534_9842269_4867837 _n.jpg
Had a quick trial fit of the skirts and rear bumper earlier and it looks pretty cool. The kit does sit about an inch lower than the old kit, so getting around is going to be even trickier.

Now to decide whether to do a full colour change at some stage, or just get the new kit sprayed to match the standard colour.
stay original ya mad fucker !
Nice shape that gregorath, full colour change would nearly make more sense at this stage!
stay original ya mad fucker !
quiet polski !
It won't be seeing any paint for a long while so I have plenty of time to make up my mind. I gotta get the new wheels on it, new subframe in, new exhaust, and some other bits done first. Well, that and enjoy the summer with whatever cash I have left.
i think red would be savage :)

That kit looks sweeeet! Have you the pair of wheels on one side or a full set?
My 2 cents. Two tone. Both of those colours are cool and go well with the wheels, why not go two tone with both colours. All you'd need would be to match the front bumper to the rest of the kit and put on the fenders...

nice work :afro::afro:
spray the door handle, fuel car and ya have front vented wings
done and dusted :cool::cool::cool:
it look good :D
Nah, the bottom of the doors would have to be done, and a portion of the tops of the bumpers.
Colour wise for a complete respray Im thinking a nice dark metallic brown, or champagne, or one of the lighter Ford colours, or a nice grey.
Go for machadamia brown and i shall cut your balls off Gregory, I still have 4 litres of it that'll be making its way onto my car soon!
So yeah, please dont go brown. Just primer the whole car to fuck.
That is the coolest garage ever!!

It won't be seeing any paint for a long time, so they'll stay wine. It's kind of permanently off the road now anyway so it doesn't really matter what colour the bumpers are.
Black over graphite :)
That makes more sense. lol

Jinx!!!!!
Glad I said that now, because I didn't even have to go to Mondello to break up the car. :mad:
Anyways, ya, Balbriggan was pretty cool. Started off badly with a blow out on the M50 while doing 140kms in the fast lane whilst heading to the track, but Gem, Pete, Mark, and the other fella whose name I can't remember came to the rescue, with Gem sorting me out with a decent wheel and tyre after Pete tried to get me to use his spares with wire hanging out of them. lol

Then we managed to get lost thanks to Si-berry and Git and their fantastic directions. :D
Anyways, made it to the track eventually. I personally loved the track and how fast it was for not a huge space of land. There was a good atmosphere about the place, and the weather was amazing, so it was shaping up to be a pretty cool day.
The car ran great all day and with me finally getting to grips with the position of the hydro, it's a whole lot of fun to drive.

I had some pretty good laps and a heap of shitty spinning ones, but I wasn't very smart with the tyres I ran, and instead of sticking with what was working I decided to try different lines, practicing stuff I've watched other drivers doing, like feathering the handbrake and applying power while transitioning to keep the speed up, and trying to rub the bales...

But what are you going to do? It's all about practice, which is trial and error, so shit is going to go wrong at times. The damage wasn't that bad to be fair and the panel is getting pulled, and put in primer next week, and the exhaust is the only other thing that has to be sorted, so I should be back out again on the 24th for more fun and frolics. :afro:
Oh, and if one of the pro boys want to hop in as a passo and give me some tips the next day, it'd be greatly appreciated. :)

Paint them bits till I drool even more, unreal!!!
ya think ya will need to dial some camber in? looks sick, im a big fan of this car!
The only way I will get more camber is by lowering the car more, which will happen once I get the arches flared. Not entirely sure a flare will be enough, but that's only one option. I could try run a thiner tyre but the 225 on it has a good stretch on it already and I'd be worried about the tyre coming off while drifting.
@ Jay - Paint to come asap once I get the arches flared.

lovelels man reli looking as it should again, :).
Its must be ating tyres on the inside is it? gonna be brutal with more camber?
It's actually a lot higher than it usually is at the moment, but ya, it does eat the inside of the tyres. I just swap them around at drift days.
I had an idea for the rear end ages ago and then spotted today in a video that a Japanese fella had already done it, so I did some searching for pictures. I need this style rear end in my life!!

We'll see what Mr Hickey can do next week, and if it doesn't work I'll get the bodyshop to make something. Something like Niall's arches maybe.

Greg the flare you need on the rear is pretty much what I needed to get the Grids on my yoke. John will get them flared sweet no hassle. Go flare rather than bolt ons/overfenders for sure, otherwise you'll end up replacing bolt ons all the time.
The rear end would look cool, thats kind of the look I wanted too but you need a roof spoiler. (preferrably not a smashed up one :rolleyes:) The roofspoiler would carry the lines of the slightly pointy front bumper you have nicely
My 2 cents :)
P.S. those rears fucking rule
I actually thought of your car and the flare it got when I was trying to work out if a flare would be enough, and it's good to hear it will. :)
I want a drag spoiler or wangan one, not overly fussed about a small roof spoiler because it would be barely noticeable because of the cars dark colour.
Fredericks Balls
12-08-11, 19:44
A spoiler like that would be sweet but a roof spoiler even a small one would be cool. And you'd be surprised the difference it would make even with the colour. You can pick them up real cheap too, didn't Eoin have one?
I must google a few and see what they're like. I think Mike Geary is buying that, and I am trying to save for getting the bodywork done so can't be buying other stuff. :)

Cheers lads. Should be picking it up tomorrow. Then the saving starts for the respray. Also I'm on the look out for a standard rear bumper if anybody has one lying around. I can swapa BN sports one that needs some repair.
Oh and the dent in the front wheel is now repaired thanks to http://www.abcd.ie/ It only cost €60 and was done two hours after I dropped the wheel in.

who did that flaring, that looks mint
A young lad from down my way, it was his first attempt at doing one with his bosses new arch roller. The same guy made the moulds for the arches on Ffrenchy and Kruizers Altezza's, or so he told me. :)

That is gorgeous! Arches look really well! What colour you going for?

I'm not quite sure. I might use it on the road until the NCT runs out next year, but I know I'll get bored and end up drifting it again and ending up right where I am now. Doing a season of Prodrift in it would be fun, I don't know, it's all money, money, money. :)

My car is actually green. :D I'd love a white one, but if I was to change the colour it would be some sort of brown or something dark with a purple or red flake.
ever think bout a full wrap in whatever colour
No, never. How expensive would a full wrap be? A wrap could be cool in a colour with a mental amount of glitter in it, but would a wrap show up all the cracks and dents that will be getting repaired during a respray?

seen this and thaught of u
looks very like yours !
That's pretty damn similar alright Stevie. :)
Had some issues with the front arch catching on the tyre so had to whip out the trusty grinder and shave a bit off, but now the car looks a bit high which makes me want to lower it more and that will have me back at square 1 again. Low is hard work. I think I need to get this thing to a drift day again before the year is out. Driving it on the road is getting boring already and it's hard to not drive the crap out of it everywhere.
Haven't updated this thing in a while due to no internet out in the sticks where I live now, but hopefully that'll be sorted soon.
Anyways, after breaking the shotgun exhaust at Goldstone, I got a nice straight pipe job made in a place called ABCD engineering in Arklow which is quite loud(must get a video at some stage), I'm picking up a Recaro speed for the passo side tomorrow, and I ordered a set of HSD's for the car today, am getting the old bent subframe taken out and a nice straight one put in next week which should sort out the wandering handling. Plans after that are to hopefully sort out the bodywork, stripping it completely inside, and getting extra safety equipment installed over the next month or so. Busy busy. :afro:

07-01-12, 02:27
Whered you come across the Recaro speed? Lookin for one myself.. Also did ya ever price the paint to spray your whole car? The lad I'm Gettin to do mine said it'll take near €500 in paint and lacquer alone to do the whole car. Did you ever price it?
A local fella quoted me 3k to have the car mint again, who I wont be going back to. lol I got a bumper sprayed befir for €150 and the painter said he made no money on it due to the cost of the paint, it must be pricey stuff.

No pics still, plenty on my Facebook, but this work PC freaks out when I log on there so can't transfer them over. Picked up the HSD's on Tuesday from Dave in Japanese Performance, thanks to him, made a start on stripping the car completely and removing the sound deadening(arsehole of a job), hoping to get that all finished up by Monday, but minding my kid, painting seats, and working is holding me up. :) Although I'm taking a halve day tomorrow so I can get the coilovers in and the subframe fitted. Pics soon, hopefully.

No grinding, just screw driving, spanner turning, and tea making.
car looks mean as dude well done!:cool:
Right, so took a halve day yesterday and made a start on fitting the coilovers at home, but lots of stuff was seized, so ended up waiting until I went to a mates garage and had access to more tools and a lift. Spent a total of 5 hours at it between doing them and swapping out the bent subframe last night and this morning, and now it's all done. :D Next step is finishing the strip out tomorrow afternoon, then booking in for a cage. :)
At my parents, so a few pictures, nowt interesting.

Alright, thanks for the heads up.
Updating this fuck all really, but I have internet now so can update it as I go along. It's fully stripped now, bar the dash, and I managed to modify the passo rail to get the Recaro in, painted the mirrors, and stuff like that. Am hoping to get it sent off for a cage soon, but shite is holding me up.
Anyways, strapped a gopro onto the back of the car today to film the flames it now throws out and to get a quick in car of the noise it now generates.

Love the noise of it man one mates has one and all our cars are tucked away for winter and that's defenitly the noise I miss most!!
Got a spoiler made up for the car today, had one made up last week but hated it, so I made up a template out of cardboard of what I wanted and a local engineering firm(www.abcd.ie) fabricated it today. It's slightly different to what I wanted, but I'll be going back to get it tweaked and a couple of longer bits added to it. Anyways, here is the work in progress so far...

Personally, i think drag style spoilers like that look the bees-knees on 4 doors, but with wing canards like this would be savage tho:

Is that moulded into the bootlid?! Either way it looks silly from what I see

Sorry dude not feelin' it at all! Something odd about it!
It's not moulded, no. Cheers for the input lads, but I think once I change the end plates it'll look a lot better so I'm going to try that before giving up on it. :)

Cool car man but honestly that wing is awful.
Cool car man but honestly that wing is awful.
I dont know i think the wing will look cool only because its a drift car if it was a road car i would say no.
Car looks class man good work :cool::cool:
Thanks for the input lads. It's basically a drift car nowadays, only sees the road when driving to the track and the odd Saturday spin on the motorway to keep it ticking over. I'll get the end plates sorted next week and it'll look cool then(hopefully). Then the camber arms will hopefully turn up so I can lower it properly.
Booked in for Mondello Monday, should be a bit of craic. Serviced the car today with 10w60 Mobil oil, got some 225/40's for the rear and gave it a good slap of the lowering stick. Hopefully the 225/40's don't pop off the rim this time so I can keep it at this height for drifting and stuff. :) Oh, took off the spoiler for the time being because it's a work in progress, sort of.

Anyways... roll on Monday. First time drifting this year so it'll be a rough one. :D
Looks sooo much better without that spoiler man!
Whats the specs on the whales Greg?
18x10 et -9.

Shit, sorry. The fronts are 18x9 or 9.5 et +24 with 35mm of spacers.

Lock mods mean JZX110 tension rods before anything else, and they're expensive, and the clutch release bearing is hanging out of the car after yesterday so a new clutch may be gotten first. :)

There's a lad on driftworks that has jzx110 rods, knuckles and roll centre adjuster, search emperor garage on google either and you'll get him. I have his number as well if you want it.
Cheers for the heads up, I think I bought a subframe off him before, looks like his car on his Facebook page anyway. I'm in no panic for lock mods just yet being honest, the standard lock isn't that bad on a JZX imo.
Cars lookin mean as fuck dude!
Heard you were goin well down there yesterday :)
Reppin the 4 doors
Edit - Cheers Eoin. A bit more practice and hopefully I'll get up to a decent standard in time for some PD rounds. :)
Second video finally uploaded. It sucks having to kill the picture quality but there is no way I'm leaving a video upload for ten hours.

Not the best drving you'll ever see but for my first day in 5 or 6 months it was alright.

space out the front wheels greg like i did it clears the roll bar and tension rods, Aasbo style yo!!!
They're spaced out already. Aasbo style is ridiculous. Lol. Actually, any hilux diffs knocking about in whatever part of Oz land you're in? A 4.3 would be nice. 4th gear all over the place then. :p

Thanks lads. I'm still determined to get a spoiler on it the way I want it. :)
Your car looked mental Monday Greg are you still doing prodrift this year
At this moment Im hoping to get out for round 2, but I keep getting mad notions about taxing it and driving it around for the summer.
An incar video from Monday. Some advice from the pros on where I am going wrong and what to practice would be cool.
JZX100 Chaser, Mondello Drift Practice 19/03/12. In car camera. - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxIHOIKlkJo&sns=em)
So.... got asked to join the Drift Shed crew last night, which inspired me to book the car in for its cage, and I am aiming to make it out for PD round two. I have a few other bit and bobs to sort out once the cage is in and I literally have fuck all time every week to do stuff so round two is a comfortable dead line.
This car needs a feature
Its done everything at this stage, show queen, drift slag, track car, daily driver lol

It'll be great if the lads would make room for my car down at the shed, the dirty datsuns and datsun powered tin cans are all in the way. :laugh:
I had no notions of doing PD in it when I bought it Ste. I was just going to chnage the wheels and enjoy it, but putting the 2 way in it and enjoying it on track kind of took over, a lot.

So that means more lows.... but my HSD's are maxed out on rotating the shock into the cup so do I just drop the spring seat height now? Or will that fuck them up?
serious tom
28-03-12, 12:03
I know sweet fuck all, but when I messed about with presets (lowered it with the presets instead of lowering the actual shock) it made things a lot different. It shortens the stroke of the damper... I only drove it a little but it felt very bouncy... Would it not be like having cut springs?
I don't know, but may find out.
I did this today. Probably the hardest job I've ever had to do with a car for the amount of time it took. Just got to get it to John Stone now and it's cage time.

So..... my first event went well. Did the practice day on the Friday which helped get the first briefing and attempt at the track nerves out of the way before the nerves of the competition aspect kicked in on the Saturday. :D I managed to link the track which was my main goal for the weekend, had a couple of spins, did a bit of twinning, realised the track wasn't as scary as I thought it would have been and generally got settled into the whole PD event atmosphere.
Getting stickered up with my sponsor sticker and PD stickers..

Qualifying on Saturday was a bit of a mess. Derk had trouble getting a tyre onto one of my 10j's because unbeknownst to him the tyre was fucked, so I had to run with whatever seconds were on my 7j's. Unfortunately they were fucked, and my first qualifying run was basically a sighting lap, which I didn't spin on, but fuck me, I was all over the place. The second run went a bit better after I let a shit load of air out of the tyres, and even with delamination occurring I got a solid run in and managed to qualify in 42nd place in the ama/semi pro category, and 15th in ama, which netted me 2 championship points. :D
A couple of shots from qualifying...

As a part of Team Drift Shed, we had decided on Friday that we would do the team drift if it was on, luckily it was, and we got the chance to drive in the big show on the Sunday. So, at my first ever PD event I was throwing myself into a drift train with a "it'll be grand" attitude, and had a fucking ball. :D I spun on the two qualifying laps and fucked it up for the lads, but... it was amazing, no stress or pressure, just get out there, drive like stink with three mates, and run a few walls. :afro:

What I learnt at the weekend was that, basically, the car is too low, too big, too heavy, I need decent tyres, alignment wouldn't hurt, and the stupid amount of camber on the rear doesnt aid grip levels whatsoever. I don't really care though because the car looked cool and the whole event was amazing. I'll throw up a few videos once I get them uploaded. Crap, that turned out to be quite a long post, sorry about that.
Oh, a big shout out to everybody that helped out the weekend, I'd have been lost without you. And a big shout out to all the media who came out and gave the ama and semi pro guys some attention, we all love it. Cheers.
Cool snaps Greg some smoke machine!!
I have to admit this is one my favorite car's on di. from polished cruiser to battle scared drift machine it just looks so awesome in the flesh
Is there enough clearence arch wise to get the rear camber to 0 degrees for even wear?? I know nothing about geometry setup so this could be a completely wrong way for setting up a car.
There is no clearance, the arches are taking a hammering as it is and that's running 225/40's.
Thanks for the comments. :)

You may get some subtle overfenders (dont go to mad on them) Jun style is nice and get the camber sorted, From my experience a well set up suspension is as good as 50+bhp!! IMO, nothing as bad as a front sliding all over the place or shocks been to soft and bouncing and hopping round on ya,
Hahaha for example this is ridiculous but so good at the same time :)

Haha it is functionally ridiculous but aesthetically it is sex! Came over for a snoop round her on the Sunday, the car has serious presence. And as the lads say it's cool to see I car that's been through all the stages from cruising and hard parking to running the wall. Fair play Greg.
Surprisingly I get no understeer but I definitely have to sort out the rear camber. Although upper camber arms for my car are like €700.

looks the business skiddin greg, did you get the chance to put it into into 3rd? thought the camber would give you more grip when youre sideways. didnt make it down at all over the weekend, wouldve liked to have seen how you got on. glad you had a buzz.
No need for 3rd, and the car wouldn't pull it anyway. :) Only about 30% of the tyre was being worn during the runs, while everybody else had nice evenly worn tyres. Most of the pro's seem to run a bit of positive camber, so I would like to try that at some stage, but then the car will probably be wanting for more power. I think I'm going to try really sticky tyres on the rear at Fermoy and see what it's like then.
Cheers, Kev, take a spin down to Fermoy next month.

I dont know the answer to this question but while looking for suspension parts for the Altezza I found that a lot of the JZX100 stuff was interchangeable, make sure rear camber arms like Megan arent the same because thats the stuff I'm going for, there all metal at the end of the day, if you feel there not up to strength you can always get lads to weld in support beams or whatever, no point forking out nearly 1k for bit of steel and rose joints like, thats my opinion anyway............!!! haha :afro::afro:
spend the extra bit where its needed in the engine etc, metal can be welded again.
I think it's just the front arms that are interchangeable, but if anybody has Altezza parts lying about that I could try on the car that would be handy. Surely somebody in the country could make arms for not crazy money?
im not 100% sure but i think i remember rab from powermax engineering talking about making some arms for an older chaser jzx81 maybe. might be worth looking into
they are located in cookstown co tyrone

Did you ever enquire about gettin suspension arms made up Greg? I'd be interested in some for my tub, gettin a couple of sets made might bring down the cost too..
I didn't really. Asked Gem to try get Robbie to make me rear camber arms ages ago, but it came to nothing. Anyways, we need upper A arms for the rear of our cars to get proper camber adjustment. The ones I bought from australia which were supposedly camber arms are just adjustable toe arms really. I reckon you would need the three bottom arms adjustable to get some decent camber going on, but they work out the same price as a set of Ikeya Formula upper A arms.
If you want more lock with good size wheels, you have to get JZX110 front tension rods with the kink in them first, then try rod spacers and shit, but you'll probably burst the rack seals first.
If I ever get serious about this drifting lark I'll probably make an effort to get arms sorted. :)

Yea I know I was lookin at what it would take to set the rear of the car up properly and it's scary. They just weren't meant to be an easy car to set up by the looks of it.
I haven't had my car set up and it's gone through quite a few changes over the years, I kind of just drive it how it is. Only recently I've started fucking about with tyre pressures. lol
Email the lads suggested elsewhere in this thread and if it helps get the cost down or to convince the lads to manufacture arms I'll try get other JZX dudes onboard. Surely we're not the only JZX owners wanting affordable stuff.

Yea il give that a go, theyd make a few quid if they done arms for them at a decent price, a lot more lads would put them in when they're more affordable
Keep me posted anyway, and I'll throw threads up on DW, JZXworld and the likes. Actually I got pm's off dudes on DW about arms before so there is interest there.

Did my first bit of drifting since Punchestown, yesterday, and it didn't go according to plan. :(

I ran wide, which wasn't hard to do because the area to drift in was quite small, and hit one of the fences that run around the horse race track. They're filled with cement so are quite sturdy. JZX quarter panels are made from cheese and fold fairly easily. That's both sides banged now. :(
