    After a regretful sale of this 4 years ago I managed to finally buy it back last week .


    The original 1j killed its own bottom end so got replaced with a vvti 1JZ running on a power FC


    Will update spec later

    Brought it home like this (without lip actually) and couldnt handle the ugly ! So without even washing the thing had to get skirts and decent wheels on . XT7's suit the JZX90 well but I think I'm going to use R34 GTR wheels

    Took her for a drive and wash after lots of retarded jobs tidying up wires etc ,fitting defis ,rerouting shit fitting interior panels etc

    Most likely will have to give tge XT7's back to the ps13 and run R34 GTR' on this Bae.

    One job needing doing is rear bushes which im dreading . See c*unts below

    looking good mate, digging the xt7's, and i got them 100 clocks, look so much nicer, one thing is the lip.. not into.. i think its just because it looks like a weird add on...

    still good to see more 90's mate (y)

    nice one

    Yea the lip is Analy big I go through phase's of liking its bulkyness , tempted to go with a BN front but fear it may be too deep for the rest of the kit .

    Defiantly limited options available for these boats

    Cant decide to go with a bolt in cage for extra cool points.

    Pulling out the aircon going with 2-40 aircon instead (2 windows down 40mph minimum)

    Doesnt match up with the 100 pump so no point keeping . needs headlight restore also

    Got round to more knuckle bashing on Sat.

    Old HKS out (which were perfect ) just not low enough . Not too often you see HKS stuff looking like the little bitch but compared to these thats exactly what they are lol

    [​IMG]

    Jack up wheels off , adjust ride height ,wheels on jack down repeat x10 and roll the arches then this happens

    [​IMG]

    Happy with how it sits for now hopefully my lip doesn't explode on the first outing .

    Shits at a standstill , between work nasty Irish winter weather lack of interest real life choices etc coming into play .

    Done a burnout and it developed a miss fire . I m going to put it down to plugs for now.

    Love the updates mate. Cars looking good. Yeah check the plugs, should be an easy fix. You could check what code its throwing up though assuming you have the wiring for the diagnostic thingy?

    Cheers dude, Doing niggly bits is the worst. Have some plugs to throw in failing that I shall check the diagnostics. Once I get everything running smooth may head down the bigger Turbo route
