Whaddya damned know?
A "build" thread that goes start to finish and doesn't drag on for 467 months unfinished because the OP got a few thousand bucks in and quit.
I would like to PERSONALLY thank, on behalf of the Zilvia moderation staff, roco for having been a member only a couple weeks and already showing long-standing members just how things should be done.

To be fair, I don't think his V8 AE86 build thread is from start to finish :keke:
But definitely a nice change of pace. Even for a newer member, such as myself.

[CrazyIvan]

Very nice build but those front fenders are killing the whole look for me!!

[drifter_for_life06]

nice build....unique....got any vids of this thing up and running? dyno? drift action? or even just idling?

[roco]

thanks guys.

i dont have any video, but were heading out next weekend in her, and then she's going overseas to the uk, for JDM All Stars, for the street course in newcastle, so ill def have videos soon.

yeah i never liked the fenders either, but they were sponsord, so if she tips the wall she'll get a new set of jubride or jblood.

[drifter_for_life06]

awesome...hopefully she does well. Should be interesting...N/A with a pretty decent and high powerband.

jblood FTMFW!!

[soreballz]

Jesus, thats one hell of a welded diff! lol


And I'm LOVING that green shit.... Radical.

[Koopa Troopa]

Man, you didn't shield the master cylinder?! You will boil that master cylinder without some form of heat shielding.

That tow hook is hilarious BTW.

[drifter_for_life06]

the MC doesnt seem to be TOO close, but i agree...shielding would be wise

and "lol" at the tow-hook. I didnt even notice that until Koopa said something

[REVGASM]

i've always had an interest in this kind of build...hope to do one soon

[wannaB!]

looks great, nice build!

[JDMslide180]

great build, any videos of the dyno?
