Now for something completely different.

Hey everyone,

Im rarely on here but now I figure is the time to atleast try and mingle. Ha!

I imported this JZX for my company drift car in one of my last container shipments. Decided to do the sortof Bippu Drifter Style buildup.

Came in as this ugly beast:

Lesson: Dont let friends drift your company cars that take forever to build.


Either way, definitely want to keep everyone up to date on how things go if anyone cares... And what the latest Japanese stylez are! Bipppuuuuuu-gazaiumasu!

Dont really have any more pics of the tourney, it was out of town and I had driven there - so basically spend 14 hours with a hammer and bashed the car back to life. Had a pretty wobbly ride home :/ ha

Packing my next container in Osaka already, doing pretty much full widebody and even bigger wheels than before!

I had been talking to him about the wheels on Zilvia. Ever figured out if they are 2 piece or 3 piece and where to get new barrels?

Hrm,

Im just starting to redo things now - I have some Garsons and new BN on the way to spruce things up a bit. As well as new suspension all around, subframe, exhaust, and hopefully a Holset setup as well.

Id love a JZX100 but they're not able to be brought into Canada at the moment :(
