Nice car so far. Not a fan of those wheels, then again I hate mine too so who am I to say..

Keep the updates coming. What are your immediate plans for say, the next 6 months?

 

to get my 2j in and idk lol the wheels I am starting to like them but na hahahah I got them with the car wish I could trade them for some ssr or works or volks but idk hahahaha

 

who ever did the swap was very lazy, im surprised the 1j is even running ok. the catch can isnt even installed correctly, the coolant hose on the back that connects to the iscv isnt even needed on a single set up yet its still there, i dont even knw what to say about the cruise control cable. misc plugs are just hanging out, ignition wiring looks horrible, that oil feed line is something else....this 1j needs work. im not hating or bashing it, just telling you what needs to be done for it to look good

 

I got the car with the 1jz in it I just got the 97 front bumper and back bumper and put the recaros in it I am building a 2jz at work for it yes the guy I got it from is a little of a hack lol show me what I can take off so I can do so and I did not want to cut the cruse plug off o and I put the head lights on as for the set the car had were broke I am going to fix all the wires in the next week or so the were made to long

 

WATT and Tony does excellent work! Some close friends have had strong motors come out of WATT. Can't wait to see your progress.

 

got my new Blitz cap

 

yes sir I work for watts shop I am building a 2jz 3.4 with this pos 1jz head I wish it would stop getting ****ty every week end so I could fix all the hacks and make the bay a nice thing to look at and if some 1 could tell me how to take that coolant hose on the back that connects to the iscv

and Watt is 1 of my best friends and 1 hell of a boss I love my job hahahah ever1 give me time this car will blow your alls minds when its all painted by me and the motors in and all that good ****

 

hey man wheres the shop located? im from MIA

 

Why? I live in Texas

 

Lookin for a decent shop, there are like none around here.

 

Your location says FL, that probably threw Blackiron off.

Good luck with the swap. The RSP blue is soooooo beautiful. Cant wait for the final product!
