Well, I meant to be updating this more often, but I've been spending money elsewhere on my car. Motor is on standby as I've done more suspension work, bushings, and a bbk. Also got me a lip, and dropped it a bit more






But that lasted a week before I got into an accident. (on private property). So she looks like a pos now. I don't mind the color scheme though. I've got ahold of complete clip and swapped everything over. Have blue fenders pulled/rolled/installed now. Just need to do some body work and get her ready for paint. I should have some progress soon on my swap!

you're my new favorite person on here.. get that ***** on the track already! I love how our rolled fenders look identical due to those dumb square cutouts in the fender lip

paint should always be done last. i learned that the hard way. no matter how careful you are scratches and nicks always happen while being worked on. just my two cents. you build is looking real nice far.

This is the greatest motivation i have seen so far for me to do what i would like to do to my car. Not going to make it a drift beater but I'm aiming for more of a luxury sleeper =) . Loving this build, i need to see a vid when that thing starts up the first time!

Nice man! I just picked up a GS3 to replace my s14 drift car I had going. Basically going the same route as you. (GTE,R154,etc)

What brakes did you go with?

What are you doing about steering angle?

Weight loss?

Also, got more info on that Avalon Master cylinder deal you got going on?

Toogood doesnt post much, actually, neither do I. But I'm also coming from the s14 chassis. I'm rocking the LS400 brakes with the FIGS front RCAs. Pads are Project Mu B-series. As for steering angle, Im rocking the URAS toyota tierod spacers(just like the ones that came with the 14 tein tie rods). FIGS also has a knuckle mod for extra super angle, but Im already hitting everywhere with the additional uras spacer angle.

Was there someone who stocks the URAS in the states you got them from? If so, got a link?

And did figs actually release the new lower knuckle / balljoint combo piece yet? Last I heard there was no ETA on those?

I just ordered the uras spacers from japan.. when it comes to certain parts, its usually less hassle to wait the 2-3weeks. And yeah, FIGS has not officially released the knuckles yet
