Justin,
I've been following your progress on the car. Remember back like 6 years ago when you had just gotten it, slapped on the white konig rims and vinyl lettering? What a transformation, proud of you dude, can't wait to see it finished.
John Mauser from NC

the tail lights are not bolted in they are just hanging there most of the cage will be covered up once the interior is finished

That will help, the shifter does look a little uncomfortable....

What color are you planning on Justin, or can you tell us? ;)

Either way the car is at the same time stunning, awe-inspiring and frightening!

What are you planning for those gaping holes in the front? Oil/tranny coolers? Fog lights? Mesh?

lowredcruzr
03-28-2007, 07:27 PM
i see that your saying you wish i picked another kit. what would you want an APR kit on the car. no thanks. i built 97% of this kit by hand. the front is a blitz that i widened and made some changes to but i like the blitz its aggressive and flows with the design of the car. the rear is a bomex i love the lines of the rear bomex kit it also allows for me to add a rear carbonfiber diffuser. As far as the rest of the car i hand built it all from scrach you may not like it and thats ok i built this to only make one person happy and thats me. Sorry that i'm not running around looking like every other car out there sorry that i'm not spending my money to support some companys kits i wanted my own. This is it take it or leave.

Brucebruce- i'm getting ready actually to make a rwd conversion kit for the celica i have just located a shell that i can use. Everything will be a bolt up kit except for a little mod. that you will have to do in the rear but every thing should bolt right in. the mock up will be for a 4age motor out of the corolla and using the rear diff out of an all track celica i dont have a date yet for the completed kit but sometime in the next 8 months i hope. but i'll keep everyone posted

Wait...WAT :eek: You're telling me that you're going to create a kit that can convert my car RWD??? Will I be able to keep my 2zz engine?!?!?!

lowredcruzr
03-28-2007, 08:10 PM
not sure about keeping the 2zz engine for the RWD conversion if i can fine a transmission that i can mount up to the 2zz and make it work then yes you will be able to keep the 2zz and go rwd. If you guys can find a donor motor (it can be blown) for me try and make a transmissions fit let me know

trd_gts
03-28-2007, 10:40 PM
please make it fit the 2zz so i can start saving already!

he is planning on basing his product off the trueno drift corolla engine and all trac celica rear driveshaft.

BruceBruce
03-28-2007, 11:33 PM
Well see, Im in LOVE with that kit...
ive alwaysed loved the rear before you made it a widebody...
could i get a tsumani/widebody custom made??(not like i could afford it anytime soon)
But still...Im Jelous

lowredcruzr
03-29-2007, 05:50 AM
yeah i could make a tsumani work

but like i said i need a 2zz motor first to see what i can mate up to it. other wise it will be the 4age motor and trans

Ever toyed with the idea of dropping an MR-S-like 2ZZ setup in the back of a 7th gen? With I widebody at least you won't have a problem fitting radiators hehe. I was just thinking about that last night as I was watching my car, that's all. With this kinda work you do, sure looks like you could do a midengine too.

lowredcruzr
03-29-2007, 11:27 AM
i mid engine can be done we talked about that in the begining but decided against it for this project one day maybe i'll do one

ATL-GT
03-29-2007, 12:06 PM
You could always get a sandwich adapter made for the tranny and the 2zz motor...... like some of the kit cars that use a chevy engine and porsche transmission.

lowredcruzr
03-29-2007, 06:15 PM
yeah i started looking at the porsche transaxle earlier some thing may just work out but im still looking for a 2zz block so i can try and mate the two together

this is true i think he will be driving it before me. I'm not sure when it will be done here is what is happening in the next few weeks, i get to move into my new house in about one week, my kid is due in 4 weeks (or anytime) then they start the build on my new shop at the house in about 7 weeks. so i am staying pretty busy. Hopefully when the wheels on the car it will motivate me to do some more work but i need to sell this 240sx that i'm doing to make some money too so if anyone is interested in a 91 wide body 240sx with a turbo charged ka motor let me know. it will be a fun little drift beast

Is it just the pics or are those pink?

If so that begs the question: what color will the car be???

Jordan, you got a new Z?? They are really nice!! I sat in one when I was car shopping and was really impressed with how much they improved the design interior/exterior of the 370z over the 350z. I ended up needing 4 doors so I could fit my skis or bicycles in the car so I went with a 335xi. I wanted a two door but I just need more space for my crap. But I lovvvve the new 370z!

Celica is gone... the Zed is pretty much as awesome as all the reviews claim. Nissan did a remarkable job with this car. Just got through the break in miles this week and am now able to beat up on it a bit :thumbup:
