Havent been able too do much with the car for a while but now im finally getting on with this manual conversion. Broke the bank purchasing a r154 box which should be arriving soon. solid investment thoughImage
Also found this lsd out of a jzx81 to replace the boring old open diff. Skids on!!!

Yea im matts bro, he was the one who crashed it lol!
did vincent do the engine swap? i think it must have changed hands because i brought it off matts mate and im pretty sure his name wasn't vincent ha. Yea im taking extra good care of that kit, definately wont be running the front bumper when the car meets the track

I hope its not custom butchery as that just means extra dollers for me haha! looks legit though. so you think this will fit? i bought it last minute because it was the only x8 lsd i had seen

it looks like an x8 diff with x9 axels but that cant be possible cause they dont fit, fuck knows lol just try your luck, your axels should go into it anyway.

Got myself a bumper today from toyota parts connection. one of the support holes need redrilling for the bolt but other wise its allgood. now i just need to get some bulbs for the tail lights and its straight in for a wof :D

The r/h tail light has a bit of a gap around the edge and the boot is on the piss by 10mm, so a bit more panel work plus guard flaring and it will be ready to go in for paint. Any suggestions on colour?? i was thinking of midnight blue..

Now that my pride and joy has quite literally gone up in smoke, i close this book and look towards making a new creation. after being a jzx owner for almost 3 years, my love and appretiation for these cars keeps me wanting another, and i hope that i can get another jz/x chasis running. however, my funds are limited and i dont see myself jumping back on the seen anytime soon. so if any one has a chasis or an engine that they are willing to sell, cheap ;) , that would help me greatly. Get at me if u have anything for sale.

...peeps should invest is gps trackers, cause car theft aint cool!!
