spangleR Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Alright here goes, This is my first project car not overly sure what I'm doing but that's all part of the fun ( I hope). Just a warning There won't be anything major happening until the speedway seasons over which could be whenever the car decides to throw a leg out of bed. As it sits now its pretty much standard, apart from sitting on what appears to be ever so slightly cut springs. Really want to get the outside tidied up first, One rear quarter seems to have a bit of bog which thankfully was all I could find and considering I think I got it relatively cheap I wasn't about to lose sleep over it. This is about the only pic I have, cellphone quality but there's not a lot to show at the moment.

spangleR Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Bugger all has changed on the car but got a sexy set of rims that I need to find someone to make new outers for and everything to convert it to manual sitting in my room, but can't trust half my mates in the back seat let alone with a spanner so getting it all put in is going to take a while. Also tracked down a mark II badge, just need to get it changed on the rego ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spangleR Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just got these from Japan, Not exactly for an x61 but they do look pretty damn epic sitting on. don't know how the valance will handle chch roads tho. Also started attacking the high amount of rust and bog in the car, have no idea what to do just making it up as I go along . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spangleR Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Almost finished just need to build a new exhaust setup and get the loom sorted. Electric fender mirrors are sitting in customs waiting for me to pay the c***s. Painted the grille black to try hide the damaged bits, opinions?

Guest spangleR Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 More imported goodness, hopefully I don't see a set of these mirrors turn up on the tard cheaper than I got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Lost interest for a bit but got it into the garage for the last push to get it going, got my wheels cleaned up and powder coated, and almost everything else is done just need the distributo and a couple of wires hooked up. Excuse the high riding, spring are all out of wack after jacking it up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Finally it runs, just need to finish capping vacuum lines and clean up the mess I made with the wiring(to ashamed to put the picture of it up). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Took it round the block once it got dark tonight, damn what a sound that 1ggeu makes. Just need to get the last of the gauges and heater working, which is all beyond me and my test light lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 No pictures, lost the cable to my camera but it passed its wof with flying colors, could not be more stoked . Now I need to write up a shopping list to get it lower, wider and louder. Possibly even another 1ggeu, to slowly rebuild and slam a set of itbs on or just cheat and go for a filthy + T with a side of detonation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 It may not be up to the standards of the godly Riverside group but, it sounds wicked, is cheap as hell on gas, gets looks everywhere and most importantly smashes tyres . Managed to score some brand new looking tail lights out of japan, get the fender mirrors on and wired up and bomb the bumpers mat b (looked good until they cooked in the sun). If anyone wants to suggest something else to do to it go ahead I've run out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Forgot about this, onto my second 1g geu after the last one starved itself of oil, so now have 2 sitting around taking up space and many more random useless parts.* Failed a warrant on rust and a page of stuff that after checking was completely legal and not what was written on the paper. * Brought some 14x8.5 -15 SSR Mk1s, Currently in transit. * Got my turbo set up ready to go. * Have decided against adjusties but custom made springs to suit maybe a 80mm ride and be super stiff. * Finish hooking up my power steering hopefully fixing my dodgy steering issue. * Writting this here for no reason but to remind myself what to do. WIll post some photos of the cancer when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Finally legal . Now rocking Facelift Chaser bumpers, Hakosuka spoiler and a small tidy exhaust tip. Got some heavy weight springs eyed up to go low down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Received this thing yesterday after getting it super cheap on yahoo japan. The mighty 1G has never dorted so hard, amazing what messing with numbers can achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Pic thats missing from previous post Got some tyres fitted up to my MK 1s, have the fronts all mounted up but the rears will take some work to get to fit. Now just need to sort some more lows and centre caps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 So recently slapped some 15/13kg springs trimmed to sit at 100mm, filled the diff with concrete and went drifting. Got to say the 1G went surprisingly well even though its almost knackered. Looking into putting a 1g-fe block and 1g geu head together with some cams. Also scored way to many x61 parts and managed to do a chaser front end swap and chucked a bride zeta 1 in after realizing the factory couch wasn't up to the task. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 So went to the track again, Gave the mighty 1G hell, Did a quick wheel alignment at the track infinitely improving the car no more sledge monster, Bent a MK 1 being overly aggressive, only a 8 so not tooooo cut up, Adjustable HSD rear shocks and a chopped up front Cusco strut bar helped, Bucket seat stopped me flailing around the car. Have decided I like drifting and from now on will forever be broke. Next up: N/A 2jz, some proper suspension with down travel, a proper wheel alignment and ditching the fender mirrors in favor of something else. And a pic of it in full 1G screaming mode: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangleR Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 S13 BC Reds in, front now close enough to the ground.New T3 steering arms test fitted, will permanently install after my next wof. Pick up 2JZ GE set up this weekend . Can't wait to get to the track again, should feel like a racecar now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
