Crossroads..

Don't Know what I want right now at this moment.. speaking for more things than one situation

Ill related to what's secondary on my mind..

Dumped JZ Cressida with Sick fitment BBS mesh
OR
Slammed & Poked " Lux Styled " Gentleman's Coupe
OR...
Suicide Blood Red S-Chassis with a sound of a open Tial that echoes through the dry lonely nights of mid winter?
OR...
Sell everything and finish my first JZZ31?

Balls to the wall build which will end up killing me in a great feat.


Im thinking # 4 is a great choice..

OR, play my cars right and have this unfold

ae86Xjzz31Xuzz31Xs13Xjzx73 ?? HMM HMM

all 5 at the same time,

Im most likely gonna finish them one at a time soon and sell off everything I own for the new year..

We'll see

In the mean time..

This caught my eye.

Found on Canibeat & JZXproject.

Zenki MX73 with a JZX90 1JZGTE, and BPU upgrades
Add a sick stance and some decently fitting wheels..........

Instant hit.

DO WANT.



RAYS is releasing a new line of the infamous TE37 wheels.

The TE37V, Aimed at old cars, they have a nice dish AND have a lip to them.
Supposedly to go on sale and the end of April.


If you didnt catch it also.. They're using the font they used in the 80's on many of their wheels <3>

15 × 7.5J offset +6

15 × 8J offset 0

15 × 8.5J offset -5

15 × 9J offset -15

15 × 9.5J offset -20

Lip sizes: 56mm (S-rim), 82mm (L-rim), 94mm (LL-rim)


The 9's and 9.5's make me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Elephant in the Room.

So.. I've been tackling a goal of mine for quite a while.

JZX73.

And there she is...in all her glory.. or lack there of.

So.. I started ripping out the boat anchor 5mge this week, the JZ should be in there soon, wired and read to roll

Slammed & Stretched will be the key words of this car that has been haunting my memory ever since owning my first Cressida 6 years ago.

General plans for it as of now,
as always nothing is in stone, everything changes in a heartbeat

2JZGE
5mt
FAT lipped Meshes.
Vintage-esq Recaros
Nardi Classic
Bagged.



Two of the most inspiring pictures I had of this chassis since falling face first into this weird passion years ago.





For shits and giggles, I might throw some Dayton 100spokes on it I have laying around
;)
