I guess Id better attach a couple pics or Ill get flamed? Unfortunately Ive lost about
half of my pics of personally owned & built JZX's, a few of you will know of them & probably own them now Id say. (I.e my old UZX90 turbo 1UZ Mark II I built & raced back in the day (Sam now owns) & a JZS147 with 161 front conversion 2JZGTE thingy I created?)Will try find some pics.

Ah jeez! Why do people always manage to crash up most of my old builds!? I heard it got reshelled into a Chaser tho? Still keeping the dream going:)

Thanks for that Powder:) Yeah, I'll def try to get out of work early & head on over! Great to see an active events system, good stuff.

Cheers :)

Thanks guys, Ive been lucky enough to meet a ton of awesome people in the Toyota circles. Flawles & Lofreq- good to catch up again! Alex, sorry that 100 is long gone, those front lips have always eluded me too.
Ryan- Unfortunately I built that thing ages ago & lost the original CD from magazine shoot. All Ive got is an average scan if that helps.
Was a great ride, 161 parts were non-existent back then & I remember the lights costs me heaps. Noone even knew what a Aristo was actually. I fabbed everything from sheetmetal somehow, bugger doing that again :shock: Used to use it for promo girl transfer liason at D1 events, school balls, etc.
