Anything is possible JZSX

[LowMA70]

So i thought i might as well make a build thread since i did with my last car

So this build thread serves a purpose for me and others. Currently i havent had a job in about 2 years. While im not proud of the this will show you that anything is possible. currently all i do is buy stuff for cheap and flip them. this build will now be the best or the cleanest but does show you can build a decent car without $$$$$$$$

https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1/562663_515657338476754_325266450_n.jpg
then i came back with this bad boy. I sold a bunch of stuff to pick this up for $1000 in san diego, came down with a 7M comes back up with a 1.5JZ

https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1/228292_516681065041048_851182728_n.jpg

I came to a realization that i could never build both cars at only 20. So i did the right thing and started parting out the supra.

now comes along April
heres how the cars looked

so i sold the all my supra stuff was able to pick up a Bmagic kit, knock off 326 power wing, hood vent and cheapy coilovers and some Rota P45s, and some cheap 20mm front overs

May comes along and i didnt like the Kit so i sold it, sold some more supra stuff, and picked up a KA24de with trans full swap from my buddy for $500, and picked up a duraflex BN type 2 for $150 really please how the car was coming along

my Bday was May 12 and my buddy got me a spot at 626 drift event. so out of no where we decided to make a over night drive down to Willsprings.
HAD A BLAST, also realized how much VLSD sucked and how much i missed a welded diff.

plenty more to come

[ixfxi]

nothing build-like about this build

[JZ78]

What kind of coils are those? Digging those rims!

powder by mix coils

Should've kept the MK3 and sold the s13, that is pretty awesome seeing as how you're jobless.

This looks cool

good build so far

[levelride]

Great build thread... Very interested to hear updates

[hypercrush]

Fuck this is a pile of shit

[JZ78]

You really felt the need to leave a comment like that? Wow.. Maybe I'm just getting too old to read shit like that.

No. I'm older than you and I think this build doesnt qualify as a build - its just a guy doing shit to his car. There has to be a transition to qualify as a build.


Should've kept the MK3 and sold the s13, that is pretty awesome seeing as how you're jobless.

Or, you can spend your time and resources trying to find a job. I'm not talking shit for no reason, but its the equivalent of trying to build a nice house with no money. This isnt the Watts Towers we're talking about, there's nothing special going on here.

Again, not trying to be a dick just saying... what is so special about this car that makes it worth looking at?

[fliprayzin240sx]

^^^Didnt you get the memo Mike? Anything's possible. You can make mold a turd into anything you want it to be. Nothing some ill fitting body kit and rattle can paint can't fix. Lowered standards and lowered expectation's all you need...

wtf Travis didn't know u had a build thread

Talk about budgeting. This is awesome.

oh, this thread is painful to look at. only bright spot I seen was the chick in the bikini.

we were all young at some point. if Russia doesn't drop bombs on us if/when he makes it to 30 he will look back and be equally disgusted at this thread like some people are.

i was staring at the car for a couple hours and ive been looking at a lot of builds lately so i decided to keep cleaning up the car. going to start sanding and striping the engine bay and semi dissassmble the motor also. Really glad i decided to start doing this also found rust in a couple places, and the motor was not TOO bad but was worth cleaning
