Axl Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Where it all began As much as the veilside kit is hated I loved it but fate had other ideas A slight altercation with a glass bottle lying in the road resulted in a massive crack in the front bumper so it had to go This led to a purchase of a stock front end And side skirts and a RMM lip The finished article But I needed something different Not to everybody's taste but that's the point So after that i was quite happy pottering about going to shows and meets getting stamped on by ford mondeos at traffic lights so I decided to order a little present for the supe Now because I have the W58 chocolate box I thought this might save it So I have one 1jz gte with hybrids leaking cam seals and an auto loom next step cleaning painting polishing and removing the N/A With a little help from some friends the 2jz came out After a lot of elbow grease and lots and lots of new gaskets sourced from every corner of the planet a splash of Ali silver and 3L2 red I landed up with this Edited March 18, 2018 by Axl (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 looks great, like how the engine looks. How do you like the performance or isnt it 100% yet? Personally I would get rid of the roof spoiler, there IMO horrid and spoil the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind replies guys and the roof spoiler is staying I'm afraid as far as performance is concerned I've only tested it yesterday for a couple of miles and it's certainly a lot faster than the N/A I only briefly reached 1bar once and nearly Had heart failure the HKS RS sounds great I'm looking forward to putting some miles on if next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
