the scion is on a long hold.....

 

Oh, that looks like FUN!!!!

 

trust me it is

 

You going 'drifter' or gonna try to JDM it?

 

well... lets see.... who doesnt like cutting donuts and sliding sideways around corners..... screw the JDM'ness

 

I never thought I'd hear you say anything bad about JDM.....

 

I've got the xB for the JDM

 

well the motor is being removed tomorrow

 

Nice why don't you make it JDriftM? a combo of JDM and drift.

 

i will put a set of JDM wheels on it and i will probably get a JDM body kit but the things that i am concentrating on for this car are suspension and engine.... after all that is done , maybe some useless JDM items will find their way to it

 

Oh??? You robbing the box?????






You know I'm kidding, right?????

 

well i got one word for the box now and i know you probably never thought i'd say this.....
"Neglect".... yeah you read right, but it will be properly stored under a cover in a garage... i've spent too much time and money on the box to just plain out not care about it, the main reason i got the corolla is so that i dont have to drive the xB everyday and endanger its life, but at the same time i did manage to get a very rare very fun project car. I'll still be at the shows and meets... dont worry

 

You gonna come up to Barber's then???? We need at least one box there to show how it's done.....

 

Hey I'm gonna be there to show how its done

Scionturtle

well since my last post the motor has been ejected and it doesnt look good.... i'm gonna have to buy a new crank and piston heads, the pistons were broken between the rings, and someone broke the bolt for the harmonic balancer off into the crank then they welded a peice of bolt onthe end of it and put a nut on it and welded it too... temporary fix for a big problem, but the money is now an issue so i may not make it to Barber's, i am doing every side job that i can find to do to keep the project alive... will be leaving town in the morning and will be back at it friday night, i'll keep you guys updated.

also everyone give their input on paint color, ive almost got the body ready for the paint booth

 

We would sure love to see you up here....but, I can relate to the money pit...



Hmmmmmmm, colors.......Lexus has a great dark blue......and a great silver.......

 

well.... more bad news today on the motor..... it is going to cost too much to rebuild, however the money that i have invested in rebuild parts is all refundable and the money will be going to a new motor, no i dont mean another 4age 16V i mean a different motor all together...

the search is on

 

Small block Chevy?

 

you know better than that..... import only, i found it last night hopefully i can get it here soon...

the engine code begins with 4AG, the rest is a surprise

 

damn, i'm finally gonna have time to catch up with my mods to compete against you... YAY!!! good luck with the car and take your time ;)
