 | bdc/edc spec jzz30 soarer!!! hi, i brought this car off saj at japperformanceparts.co.uk was a lil battered as it had a "light" front end accident. i intended to use it for drifting as i had my s14 before this but i wanted something that was a bit different. the damage was a little bit to much for the jig to pull it out and me not having the funds to buy a new chassis rail and turret  so i got the damaged fixed as best as i could, and drove it, i have done few drift days at lydd and a few at santa pod and it was awsum. after trying to get the setup of the car how i want it i was told that it could never be spot on as the passenger turret was sitting higher than the rest so i managed to get hold of a new shell from julian at garage-d  thankfully i have managed to get sponcership through GT-Developments and http://www.coolkits.co.uk who are supplying me with a kit for the 2009 bdc and all i have to do is get my license (fingers crossed) they will be doing chassis prep and a custom roll cage as there isn't a prebuilt one on the market atm, they will also be getting the engine to about 550bhp using either the gt3037 or a gt3082 from owen developments if anyone needs to know anything on turbos phone paul at owen, he is a legend!! well heres some pics from when it arrived to now, there will be some pics of the shell coming soon as its not with me at the moment. in japan http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...66/backend.jpg after jigging http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../SPM_A0120.jpg new front bumper http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../SPM_A0211.jpg fitted front mount and wasted spark kit http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../SPM_A0217.jpg and the dish he he http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../SPM_A0219.jpg and a few skidding pics and vid        there will be new pics later as iv just got some goodies from ep racing thanks jeffrey Last edited by DR1FTER : 10-07-2008 at 21:07. |

| another Soarer! Cool car! LikeŽem! Can you make a small documetation about you engine/tranny mods when you decided which turbo you choose? There are rollcages from different manufacturers in japan like cusco or have alook at rhdjapan.com Already increased your steering angle? Heads up, man! |

2. roll cages through rhdjapan.com are out of stock and i wanted a custom cage done as i wanted one that will go through the bulkhead to the turrets as well as a few other nice bits on the cage. 3. all i have done is increased camber and steering spacers brought from driftworks. right, have a few parts lined up now carbon bonnet, boot through epracing are on my blue one even tho they will be put onto the other shell once cage is done but here's some pics for u to drool at lol also got vented front wings but there be going on the other shell first.       hope u like o and the wheels are 18x10 et 20 front and 18x11 et9 on the back btw | |
