Yo

I said id throw up a project thread on my car.

Its a 1993 JZX90 MarkII, I have it nearly 2 years now and decided to build it into a full on competition car after doing a few practice days :)

Here's a few pics of just after I got it and had it resprayed:

I started to pick up a few bits for it, but being a rare enough car it turned out to be a proper pain in the ass sourcing parts! Dave in jap performance sorted me out with pretty much everything ive got for the car so far.. Mucho gracias dude :D

Heres how the car looks now after a few tweeks have been done...

Badass!!!

Have you anything planned with regards oil cooler? If not you should if you can afford to...

PeterT
27-07-10, 09:19
Badical. Looked so good out in punchestown, billowing out the smoke! Handy driver too, would love to see it win some stuff!

Greg
27-07-10, 09:23
Keep the updates coming. It's great to see a JZX build in Ireland. :D

You defo may get something to get the thing cool, because they run way too hot.

markII-90
27-07-10, 09:55
Yeah an oil cooler is on the list, and any other type of cooler i can get as it loves to go to crazy temps!

Anyone any ideas on what a good single turbo set up would be? Obviously the less laggy the better as the standard ct12a's have zero lag !

Simon
27-07-10, 14:40
big fan of this car... keep up the work dude...

Good luck on the build...best running a gt30 would make 400/500bhp with
no lag..or else go gt35r running some cams and some headwork and would make around 550/600 mark

18x12 et30 Riverside wheels

That is all !

Robbie Daly Ps13
29-07-10, 00:03
You bastard....! One word....! Epic....! You must plan on running wide ass tyres.....!

markII-90
29-07-10, 00:07
Yeah either that or some industrial sized elastic bands :D

Would a 235 tyre squeeze on them or would that be pushing it ??

Robbie Daly Ps13
29-07-10, 00:10
I was just thinking the same....! It'd be some stretch with a serious blast of a tyre blaster....! Even at that i dont thik so...! 235=9 and a half inches of a tyre....! Are your arches flared...!

markII-90
29-07-10, 00:11
Not yet dude, there getting rolled and flared when i pick up the wheels..

Just wana see how much they need to be flared first

Dunnedriftin
29-07-10, 00:12
any jobs goin selling furnature :p

those rims look savage! fair play, not cutting corners with her sully!

markII-90
29-07-10, 00:13
I think i owe myself money at this stage !

Robbie Daly Ps13
29-07-10, 00:14
Are ya sure there only et30....! Looks like a far bigger dish.....! Maybe its because there 12 inch....!

markII-90
29-07-10, 00:16
Yeah according to the specs that christy put up, but I was thinkin they look a lot bigger meself??

Il know in about 2 weeks how big they actually are :eek:

Fredericks Balls
29-07-10, 07:16
Yea they are monsters! id imagine youd need at least 255/265?

Savage wheels though will you run them with the current fronts? :cool:

PeterT
29-07-10, 08:43
235 45's at a push maybe? I have 225 40's on 10s.

Actualy no, id go 245 on 12s, thatd be doable. serious wheels though cant wait to see them on it!

mike g
29-07-10, 08:56
i say you get away with 245/40 on them.. i used to run 235/40 on my 18x11J

markII-90
29-07-10, 14:11
Yeah il try 245s on it and see if they work?

@ mr balls I'm putting the MAE riversides on the the front and see if they work out ?

Hurry up august!

Fredericks Balls
29-07-10, 22:08
Hmmmm I like the black wheels though lol!

markII-90
29-07-10, 22:32
Im in two minds about wheter to get the centres of the MAEs done graphite or black??

Il see how they look first sure.

markII-90
07-10-10, 20:58
Small update time :) I apologise in advance for the crap quality pics :(

After japfest in mondello I noticed that some of the intercooler piping had been rubbing off the wheel which wore a hole in it !


http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/011-1.jpg
http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/004-1.jpg

So I got that patched up, and fitted back on.. It needs to be brought away from the wheel but for now its getting cable tied up :D

I collected my wheels off carpo and got tyres fitted ( cheers Rueben :) )

http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/015-1.jpg

And as you can see they kinda sort of dont fit in the arches!!
http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/014-1.jpg

Thats getting sorted next week so its all good :cool:

I got the supra calipers and project Mu discs on aswel and the difference in braking is night and day :eek:
http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/022-1.jpg
http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/023-1.jpg

Im gonna spray clean and spray them up but I just wanted to make sure they fit first!

So thats pretty much it so far its slowly getting the way I want it to be
http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/030-2.jpg

I also started to sticker up my back window aswel :)
http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/020-1.jpg

In the next 3-4 weeks alot more work should be done so il keep ya'l posted..

peace

Fredericks Balls
07-10-10, 21:22
Bolox!

I was hoping you would put the wheels on, not a hope of them fitting and you might sell them..... and I could buy them :D

Maybe it might happen with Rob :p


Car is looking ganster even more now, id say the new brakes make some difference im only short of cutting a hole in the floor to fred flinstone the car to a stop lol

Cant wait to see the arch work!

markII-90
07-10-10, 21:26
Ha, not a chance of me parting with those wheels dude, there even bigger looking in the flesh too !!

I used to have to hold an umbrella out the window to slow down, get yourself some supra brakes asap..

I was gona get those bolt on arches like yours but I wanna see how they look with the arch work down first..

Simon
07-10-10, 21:28
looks awsome, them rears are crazy...

Fredericks Balls
07-10-10, 21:41
Yea just got caliper attachments so i can fit GTR 4 pots so they are on the list!

Was gonna ask a favour if you wouldnt mind :o Could I come over some time to just try on one of those wheels, wanna get an idea of how wide I can go with the bolt on's... No rush though...

markII-90
07-10-10, 21:44

Small update time ....

The car is up at gems getting a few bits fitted, timing belt and oil cooler kit etc..

Once I have it back I can crack on with fitting the arm kit I have and other small bits :)

Got home from work to find this retardedly big engine damper :eek:

http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/058.jpg

And just to show the actual size.....

http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/markIIsully/059.jpg

:D

Thats all for now till I get it back from gems .

Greg
27-01-11, 22:47
Saw it up at Gems the other night, it looks cool as fuck all trampy and drifty. :)

markII-90
27-01-11, 22:51
Yeah its pretty beat up at the moment but its how they should look !

Not into all that shiny fancy paint jazz..

Those wheels on the back of your car are redonculous dude , good stuff :D

Fredericks Balls
27-01-11, 23:11
Shit, I meant to give you a shout during the week. I leant those arches to Cefiro Panch (he picked them up when I was off) for him to test fit for size on his car, but's he has ended up buying them. I didnt plan to sell them before lending them to you. Sorry about that :(

Cant wait to see this when it's done!

markII-90
27-01-11, 23:15
No bother man, I ended up getting a set of adj front arms so Im hoping a bit of camber will sort out the clearance issues..

It looks purposeful now. One of these days my car will look the same. :D

I''m not going to buy those wheels, fucked if I'm spending loads on hard parking wheels and arches.

Right so I havn't updated this in aaaaaagggggggeeeeeessss...

Brought the car down to mondello to blast off a few cobwebs and to test out my new d.i.y coilpacks :rolleyes:

Car ran fine until the top rad hose got chewed up by the cam pulley because I had left the cover off to try and sort out a heating issue I was having!!

After "sorting" that with duct tape it was grand :afro:
Then I had a bit of a tip with a tyre wall and lost my rear light which I later drove over thinking it was someone else's! (Karma at its finest)

Here's a couple of pics anyway..

We havent really gone looking too much yet, we're trying to let the dust settle a bit lol! But We're hoping its fixable. Could just be the loom, clutch pipe and basically anything over that side of the bay. If the engine is still ok and didnt suck up anything too bad then its doable. We dont give up too easy tbh.......and I really want to do Fermoy, but we will need atleast some good luck for once to have a hope....

markII-90

Hopefully its nothing major engine wise that got fucked, 1 of the coolest cars out there this year by far!
