Chuffaneilious

Recommended Posts

New update, Been long time, Mainly cos had no phone to upload any pics and couldnt really be bothered.

 

But things that have happening since last post:

 

1. Bought a Greddy Emanage Ultimate Piggy back ECU and loom (piss cheap)

2. Wheel spacers on back and front now (properly this time), Back looks mean but front looks gay cos high as because of a lack of engine in the bay.

3. Found that when i was ready to rebuild the block that one of the pistons is screwed, so 1gge ones will do, People on here say that'll be allgood.

4. my brother made me some 2.5inch stainless tips which look pretty.

5. Started to make a alloy front facing intake plenum.

6. Bought a chinga T3T4.

7. scored a intercooler and oil cooler off a mate for doing work on his car.

8. replaced some broken parts such as tail light and other bits and bobs.

9. Bought a shit load of genuine Toyotta parts for the engine rebuild.

10. STICKERBOMB IS BYE BYE. some will be pleased to hear.

 

Toodles for now.

Its been a long time since I posted as of late but haven't had much to post many because all my moneys been going in to my s13. Anyway ive acquired a 1jz-ge and auto loom etc for the old beast so the 1g rebuild will be awhile away and itll go into another car.   Bought a whole Toyota Mark II for 350 but only after the heart to chuck in the GX so itll just be a auto cruzer with enough power to over take within reason. Just sorted a workshop to put her to actually get some decent work on her done im actually depressed with how it looks covered in pine needles and slammed on steelies (wheels are on another car) just sitting the doing nothing. that is by far my favourite car I have and most probably will ever own. (Big call I know but so many good times and memories in her cruising round)

 

anyway that's all for now ill post more regularly when works getting done and pics as it happens.

Wow... looking back at the things ive "been into" and the things ive done the this GX61 its actually getting me down... lol. Reading the bullshit gayarse comments about rotas being cool and stickerbomb going on I wonder if I was abusing the bulb abit to much :/ hahahaha. If there is anything I have learned from the other Members posting comments saying "just get genuine wheels and slam it job done" im sorry I should have listened to you then I look back an ill admit I didn't do this GX any justice. Time has gone on and my views on the whole "drift spec everything" and "rota wheels hard!!!" Have completely changed. I know now that the car doesn't need a whole lot to look good. So ive gone back to the drawing board an began to rewrite the fate of this old beast..... some of you may still disprove of the choices im going to do but that tends to happen now and again. But youll be pleased to know that only meaningful stuff is getting done to it. Yes I may be a bit "gay" but im trying to do it justice but still keep it "my" car and if any of you actually know me you'll know im abit "out there" to say the least hahaha. Anyway I will be posting more and adding pics more often because work on this beast has resumed. If anyone actually still gives a shit chuck a post on the discussion page of this thing lol. Other than that I'll just be here doing my own thing
