Only have about 20% of it up, thinking of leaving it like that though. Lol

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.

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:

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. :)

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:

Greg

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.

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.
20-03-12, 10:43
Greg

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.

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!!!
20-03-12, 13:55
Greg

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

Your car looked mental Monday Greg are you still doing prodrift this year
23-03-12, 20:04
Greg

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.

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.
