Had both cars together out in the sun a little, and since I don't have any pictures of both...






Yes my intercooler is crooked. Yes it annoys me. Temp deal to clear passenger fog light.








(Seriously, time for a real camera) :/

Went to work over this past weekend getting a few things in order. I haven't driven the car in a little while, but not too long ago I noticed my passenger floor was damp. It turns out the heat from my downpipe had actually melted the plastic evaporator drain hose off the firewall. What was left of it was just draining into the floor anytime the a/c was being used.

I adjusted the downpipe so it's a few mm farther away, sourced a replacement hose & grommet, and sleeved it in a DEI 2000* Fire Sleeve. Shouldn't have that same problem again lol




And since I was already under there, I decided I was sick of looking at a mess of wires for my air ride. It worked fine, but some of it was longer than it needs to be, and not really organized. Didn't take a whole lot of pictures but here's where I left off-









Other news:
Still waiting for r154 shifter extension. There was a clearance issue with the so it's being redesigned slightly. Also still need a clutch kit and driveshaft. I haven't done much with the GTE either. It'll happen though. Eventually.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the Supermade kit, but it looks pretty good in the pics you posted.Looks like it fits great.

Fairly minimal work to fit, ya. There are things I love about it and other things that I kinda want to modify. I'm a little ways off from kicking off the body and paint work yet so we'll see.

I'm making a change of scenery. Timing belt and water pump etc changed on the GE-T then blasted down the freeway to Florida. SC will be next in a few weeks!

This is how this 2JZ thing works, right?!



Stopped over in Kissimmee for shenanigans



(Almost completely)Laid out on the Leon Hardiritts and Super Made kit. After 5yrs they finally get some mileage on the rubber!






Trying to put more time into this car. We'll see how the near future goes! If your in the Tampa area hit me up to cruise haha

It's my weapon of choice when it comes to road trips for sure! I'll never sell it so I might as well enjoy it lol

I just found your build and got caught up to date. I really like what you've done so far.
I've been eyeing the same AIT fenders, but have been curious if they are the same as stock or wider.

Thanks!

did you now cause like 14 posts up he stated they arent AIT fenders and that he modified stock metal fenders. read not just look at pictures

But to answer your question: nope these aren't FRP.

OP any updates?

Not much to update at the moment- I took a contract job in Afghanistan so I've been spending time with family before I leave. Paint is on the agenda really soon though!
