Ok the rear end >>>>>>>>>>>>>
Before

After


it had been beat on so all the seals will be replaced and supra TT brake conversion


ok in the shop and extra parts






i paid $140ish at pull-a-part here in augusta

WHEN I SAW THE PRICE I ABOUT FELL OUT! these things go for over 600$ with out subframe or suspension or brakes! EPIC WIN FOR WRONG PRICE :evil:
i picked up some parts i got these 40th anv rx8 wheels on a trade for a eday intercooler with tires
befor


and after

^^^^^^^ had to cut this for the rear end to clear

and the peice i cut out im going to reweld in like this.... i think... and put a sheet in the gap and weld that up





ok now to the good stuff guess who i got to meet this weekend?

for the noob that dont konw this is tanner foust he drivees the RWD scion TC
so im talking to tanner about what im building and i asked him how did u keep so much of the stock car with out a full tube frame cuz this is what im trying to do.... also u are my drift god...... he was nice enough to get his team to strip the car for me and put it up on jacks so i could see the under side!!!

i have pics of how they did every thing but out of respect to tanner and his team im not posting the pics from under the car im not shure if they would be ok with that... so after a few mins of talking about the stock frame will support the V8!!!!!!!!!!!!! tanner gave me a tire off the car and signed it and told me to keep in touch on his website about the project ... def have a pee pee crush no homo
here are some pics of a few things i saw there are just to many pics to upload if u wanna see more u can hit me up on FB

OFFSET IS EVERYTHING




AND THE MADNESS STARTS




OK so then we get to the part of WTF are we gonna do with the wiring to make this work and i found Phoneix


this is levi he is helping me with the build he was like now i know why i build hondas toyotas have too many wires and sh*t i can see a lil pissed off asain man working for toyota saying
F*ck toyota too many wire too many bolt too many hose too many clamp too many every thing dis is bull sit
LAST DAYS OF THE 1zz


FU*** your chery picker it had been a long morning




















ok now im working on somthing to help me cuz the car is going to be slamed and hellaflush so to get over bumps im going to have a air suspension to help out with getting in places but the car will have coilovers as well also the air suspension will help with traction
Left is front right is rear

[sc2jz]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^the veilside is going to be sold cheap or go into the trash at the end of the build im asking 400$ and no one wants it FML the front bumper alone is over 650$

ok lets start with this

The lexus suspension is in there is some more welding that needs to be done but the upper plate is done for the most part

ok now i know its ruff but i had to stick weld the whole thing in to make it as strong as i could im gonig to clean it all up but here is the new plate installed

ok now the 2jz fits under the celica hood with minor modding

just to prove its under there lol


here it is with open hood

here is the minor modding

Why not use the Celica front suspension?

[MattK&NFilters]

Wow... That's one heck of a build! I tip my hat to you, sir. She's going to be one fast and squirrely ride with that short of a wheel base and all that power but boy will it be fun! Just remember to put the cherry on top with a K&N air filter

[YADDADAIMSAYIN]

great build man! can't wait to see the finished product.

1. the celica suspension will not work with the lexus subframe, also it will handle the 2jz better than what the celica would.

2.the car also needs to be 5x114.3 to match the rear end and if you keep the celica suspension you would need to run an adapter to fit a 5x114.3 wheel. that puts the front wheel base wider than the rear

3. if you keep the celica suspension you keep the celica rotor set up. this means you keep celica brakes... going to the lexus is300 suspension you keep the lexus brakes, they are the size of a normal celica bbk and you can turn the lexus brakes into bbk for less than 300 bucks by using a supra TT brake conversion.

4. the celica suspension will not support the weight of a 2jz nor the power it will put down

i hope that answers your questions if you have any more let me know

cheers!

[Bitter]

That answers it, thanks
