will be taking some HQ photos (ran over my phone so photos taken on a clunker) once some stuff arrives. Ordered most of the items a week or so ago should be here soon
- Coilovers
- Rear sun visor
- Weather-strips

then its time to save for engine swap

[180SXTCY]

get a fukn camera.

[anton]

that is the plan. next pics will be higher quality

[1JZNOSHIT]

hope an engine swap is in the plans?

love these things :)

[family guy]

good work with the quarter panel

[TJ]

I was tempted to do one of these before the 100. Love em!

[duste]

Well done on fixing that rear quarter, I can imagine you got it cheap as chips due to the damage?

[Gladio]

Good work on fixing it up!

[GA70TT]

looks good, love the 81's

definitely get a 1jz in that asap.. :)

[Aristoman]

looks good, love the 81's

definitely get a 2jz in that asap.. :)

Fixed :)

[anton]

in-terms of how much i paid for it i wont discuss but lets just say it was payment for work not yet completed.

i wasn't sure if i was going to get away with the damage but i got lucky, the rust that was caused by the previous repair as well as the damage ( cracking paint and out in the rain ) was the real problem thats all fixed now though


higher quality pics

[anton]

i heard serialnine have an actual yamaha concept lip spoiler and are getting copies made up

Yamaha Concept is a limited run(300) of special jzx81's
im expecting coilovers tuesday... cant wait

[coFF33]

i was gonna buy this before you did for the 1GGZE
i didnt know it was this one

lol

[mitchy]

get a fukn camera.

it's not about the quality of the photos, it's how quickly you can post it up on antilag!

[Gleeso]

I like where this is going..cant wait for the engine swap!

[coFF33]

Anton,

When you remove the 1G

as im the buyer for it.

[batmat]

Congrats on the car.

HOLY FUCKBALLS

+eleventybillion.

Looks fucking bombed.

[upgarage]

I have some upgrade parts for this car if you're keen.
Such as Jzx front rotors/calipers, jap brand lowered front springs + more.

pm me with what you need, if you're keen

[coFF33]

Ian, have you still got that GX81 you bought from Matt ages ago?

[upgarage]

Ian, have you still got that GX81 you bought from Matt ages ago?

Yep.
1JZ conversion
Not running though. :(

[anton]

i got BA rotors stole them off some spare struts , just need 33 calipers ,and maybe a bigger booster

i went for the BC coilovers with a 12/10 spring rate over the normal 12/8 which is why im waiting longer

i didn't end up winning the final item i wanted genuine rear sun shade but i got weatherstrips, i also heard s9 or something are making sunshades also but for x83's

in-terms of what im chasing, a cat back exhaust + decat pipe

[thommo]

i ran the ba rotors n 33 calipers and the master cylinder / brake booster are fine on the aussie spec one so if yours is the same then all good !

[anton]

someone who has driven aus spec with this upgrade aparently you need to really lean on them to get them to work, i think my booster/master cylinder is bigger though

and as i thought a package arrived this morning

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa168/Anton_XR8/Mark%20II/IMG01453.jpg

now to get them welded up

[Tones]

nice work dude.

[anton]

update
Coilovers Welded and in but for some reason i cannot get the car low enough with base height, unsure if this is an issue with the brand or just mine specifically should have that sorted by end of week as well as getting rear rims back from being repaired.

[Smoked]

[Jumanji]

A guy who lives next door to me has the identical car to yours, and transferred a 1j in it. Freaking quick and looked mint too. It looks great now its painted!

[DCEVO]

Looks the shit mate good work so far....

[Skitzo]

Naice! Should of gone the black over dark grey, or what ever it is though.

[coFF33]

Looks nice Anton !!! :D
Hit up KYP for the JZX81 Mark II front end to really make everyones boners explode.

[princey1]

WHS ^

[Tones]

Meh looks ok, needs wing. And old mans 1j combo :p

[anton]

cheers guys, black on silver would be awesome, but i really couldn't be bothered with the whole color change BS, im also not a fan on the jzx81 front end i like the earlier front more,
fuck your wings, the cresta wing just never fit right , and well the yammi wing i think i like the fact that its a yami wing more than how it looks on the car

[caibs]

i have a pair of those hubcentric rings that you need for the ba/33 upgrade. can grab them for a box of export if you need em bud. reaaally enjoy your 81 btw.

[anton]
