Re: Rah - JZX91
I guess everyone thought I was too fragile to take feedback when I showed up at the JZX meet with the car in that exact same configuration (less the end caps)
Re: Rah - JZX91
Either that or they didn't want to get their asses kicked. You're a bit of a giant haha
Honestly man, you've built one badass looking car! Every one of my mates/workmates who has seen it loves it Gets looks everywhere it goes, and its not cause 'omg the skirts are mismatched bro'
18"s are on now. Just kinda wish I went for 45 profiles rather than 40's, bit of guard gap going on. Didn't want to have to lower the car any more but I think a 1" drop in the rear and 1/2" drop in the front might be in order. Can't be bothered taking it out for a shoot, will do one later for sure. For now, here's some photos I just took in my driveway...

Re: Rah - JZX91
Looks a lot better now haha. Now i see what you mean: factory skirts wont suit the lip. Lines on the x90s are classic!
PS.. Is there anyway you can paint that gray/black bit above the skirts white??

Re: Rah - JZX91
Dropped the car at my mates workshop WOF today, basically asked him to go over the car with a fine toothed comb. Passed no problem. He was actually quite surprised at how tidy it is underneath, everything has been kept in good order, no evidence of it ever having a hard life in the past. Credit to Looonie for keeping it in good shape Got a rather bad oil leak from the rocker cover gaskets, been leaking for a long time by the looks of things, block and trans are covered in oil. Will get onto that asap. Apart from that, everything is all gravy
That bit is rubber. I've been looking at pics of x90's around the place, and it looks like quite a few people remove them altogether? Might be worth looking into. Kinda looks empty without though...murdoko wrote:Looks a lot better now haha. Now i see what you mean: factory skirts wont suit the lip. Lines on the x90s are classic!

Re: Rah - JZX91
Shit dude, sorry I completely forgot to say - I think there is oil leaking from the rear main seal which is probably the cause of most of what you see around the transmission/sump area. There may be a leak from the rocker cover gaskets also though, I've never really looked.PSIBRG wrote:Dropped the car at my mates workshop WOF today, basically asked him to go over the car with a fine toothed comb.

Also, having driven your car I reckon a lot of what we discussed about the sluggishness could probably be due to the torque converter, its still the original factory item so chances are its a bit worn and sloppy (like an 80 year old life long hookers *whistle*), so depending how soon you plan to go with the manual conversion, could pay to put in a new/lower km torque converter as well as replace the rear main seal?
Regarding the black strip on the bottom of the doors, above the skirt. Its actually a painted metal strip with rubber ends. It pops off easily enough (but is a whore to get back on), so can be painted seperately. Another one of those things that was on my "to do list" when I trimmed up the skirts and got them painted. I don't think anybody removes them though as that would leave a noticeable "step" inwards at the bottom of the door line, along with the holes for mounting, most people just paint them to match.
