My JZZ30 Soarer

I decided to put up some pics and details about my car to get the ball rolling. I got this car about 4 years ago, it is an original 5 speed with 1 owner from Japan and had about 86000kms at the time. The car was stock other than a turbo timer, cat back exhaust and some crappy 18in wheels. The mods have been coming slow and steady ever since that time because as we all know nothing is ever good enough stock.

The last setup on the car before i parked it for the winter rebuild was:

1jz-gte
r-154 5 speed trans
Apex i Power FC(tuned by Reg at RCTS)
ORC twin plate clutch
C's short shifter
Greddy intercooler
Greddy Profec B boost conroller
Blitz turbo timer

Work Meister S1 3pc in 19x10 and 19x12(spec'd by Jimmy B)
HSD coilovers
Torsen diff
stock Soarer brakes with Hawk pads

Bride Gias Low Max driver seat and Ergo 2 passenger seat
Sparco steering wheel
Alpine stereo
Custom interior
Origin body kit
Wise spoiler

The car is parked right now to undergo a major rebuild. New setup will change to

2jz-gte
Garrett gt-42 turbo
HKS wastegate
V160 6 speed trans
OS giken clutch
OS giken diff
HKS FCON V-PRO
HKS AFK and EVC5
freshened interior
Seibon hood
Whiteline swaybars
Supra TT brakes
1000cc ID injectors
full Focal stereo
Nardi steering wheel

Im sure there is a few things im forgetting but thats the direction its going. Ill keep updates coming when major stuff starts happening.

Props to Dave at Evolize Photography for the pics.

Intro

This is new blog out there dedicated to the automotive lifestyle and great car builds. A build entails more than wheels and H.I.D.'s. (FYI)

No fake parts, support the original manufacturers that came up with the idea and design in the first place. We need to buy the real parts and keep the real companys in business.  This seems to be getting worse and worse with the whole fitment craze and knock off wheels. If you dont have the cash for the real thing save up longer and wait until you can afford them.

I guess the goal is to try and promote the car scene. There are a million blogs and websites out there and its a great way to get builds and ideas around to everyone. The more we can get this stuff out there the better. It just makes guys try to one up eachother and that makes for better and better cars.

Ill post progress of my own build thread and throw up features of cars, and there will be some random music stuff too. If you like what i post then follow along. Let the journey begin.
