Time for a bit more boost

Ordered myself one of these today and i can't wait till it turns up!






















It isn't quite the right picture, im not sure why T3 puts this one up but its a 175mm crank pulley for a 4agze which will apparently bring me from 8 psi to 14psi.
I seriously cant wait to have this in, the car will be freaking physco... If it blows off competitive drift cars and street jzx's now whats it going to do with almost double boost?

*Excited*

Aaron's Warrior KE70

Well my good mate Aaron is selling up his ke70. Which is a shame cause it's a rad little thing.
Especially considering it's currently the bearer of my old 16v 4age, which went like the clappers.


















Aaron is a good friend of Hoshino, the owner of Team Geki in Japan. So on top of having some nifty little bits and pieces in the car, it's got quite a lot of Japanese drifting influence.


















As well as the true heart of a Midnight Mechanic corolla.


















The motor now powers through a Jap T50 and pushes the torque along through a TRD 2way inside a complete jdm Ae86 disc rear end.


So hopefully if it sells this isn't the last we will be seeing of this car. A lot of love from quite a few people I know has gone into this car. Fingers crossed it going to be seeing just as much touge!

Jason's 180sx

It's good to see Jase finally got some of supercheap's finest rattle can paint to make his overs match the body of the car lol.
Its a huge improvement and although the car is still incredibly aggressive, there is a subtlety to it.

Boredom gets things done



















 






This badge has been sitting in my room near on two years now... it got sent to me with my bumpers, so thats how long its been there. I never bothered putting it on because its not ment for this type of grill and i could never bothered to try fit it.
Anyway, out of sheer boredom i was inspired to spend the 20 or so minutes of cutting, filing and sanding the back of it down so it slides nicely into the grill and screws in lol...

I think its meant for the other flat front corolla that was never delivered to Australia;




















Being on uni holidays seems to be inspiring me to do alot, so the corolla might be seeing a few improvements over the next few months.

Shakotan s13

So I got really really bored today...
I decided this would be a good idea


























The Hayashi's are 14x8 -10 by the way


















Looked pretty cool, but it would have to be much lower... This is how it would look if I actually wanted to put the effort in.

















Fucken cool, but I think I'll stick with the plan for 17x9 +18's

J Exhaust

Well, the S13 got some special treatment today. Ive been toying with the idea of getting a new exhaust for a week or so now, and finally found the right one thanks to JPP on the Gold Coast.
My original one was a very Aus spec 2 1/2" with a very bland looking cannon... uggh.. Anyway i splashed out and bought a 3" mild steel one you see below:
Here's the two of them next to each other... God knows why exhaust shops here decide to build exhausts like this, it just doesnt look right... Anyway, luckily Japan knows how to get it right.

The final product, the new exhaust tucks up really nicely and doesnt foul on anything... Super!
Also its got the gansta J lean lol
