MR 1JZ's JZZ20 Soarer - Australias first bozuzoku drifter	Tue, 26 October 2004 11:09

Everyday I look at my crappy digital camera and think to myself "I should probably take some photos today and put them on the net" Then something else comes up and I forget till the next day, well I finally took some photos today so i thought I might as well do a writeup with pictures on my trusty GZ20. Excuse the history lesson but im only doing this once so i might as well do it right It was summer of 1998 me and my brother were sitting at maccas enjoying a 40c cone, back then they were 30c, anyway out of drive through comes this car i have never seen before, it was strangley square, like a volvo but amazingly sleek like a ferrari, i had never seen something like this before as he drove past my brother and I both noticed the magical writing on the door of this unknown sleek-brick-shaped automobile it read "TWINturbo" That day I made a promise to myself that I was going to find out what that car was and one day have one in my possession. I quickly forgot about the sleek-brick and 6 years went by, i had a multitude of cars in that period, well three, a VK, a Handivan and a Prelude, but the day finally came to sell the heap of shit FWD'r (to my brother ) and get me something turbo and RWD After a few weeks searching through the likes of various imports the words "1GGTE Twin Turbo" caught my eyes in the trading post, I had to see this specimen, upon inspection it was clearly some rich jap dude who liked to smoke, a lot, who owned it before me, it wasnt complied and the car was filty but i saw potential and potential to screw some cash out of a stupid importer, how stupid I was... I demanded the car be detailed before I look at it again, the importer complied with my wishes and had the car totally steam cleaned inside and out, it came up a treat, eventually the cash changed hands and the car was mine. My first drive in my own turbo car, i felt like a heroin junkie, strangley amazed and definitely wanting more The the problems started, the first night i noticed it was on a drive through the hils with some of the Haichi guys, oh oh there comes the steam it turned out the motor had a BHG or Coroded Head, i never got around to pulling it apart to actually find out, luckily the car was purchased under warranty, so I took it back, it was then replaced with a second 1GGTE which i later found out was dropped two metres off the ground onto cement that one lasted four hours, so 2 months after that she finally returned in all her pimping glory to be in my driveway every morning Ok enough from me here are the mods: 3" Stainless Steel Mandrel Bent Catback Exhaust (Will be dump pipes as well when i decide which way I am going with the turbos) GFB Atomic Boost Controller KYB Damper Adjustable Coilovers w/RSR Springs (I call them stiffy) K&N Pod Filter (Cheers BSTJunkie) (I am attempting to make a heatshield for it this weekend) Monza Type I BOV (Its my little slice of rice) 17" Lenso AG's With Dunlop 225/50's Excidio Double Din CD/MD Player Microtech Turbo Timer (Cheers Zerko) Boost Guage In the next couple of weeks I should have My LSD In and my JZA70 brakes which should be fun. Here Are some pictures: On the cards next is some nice 20% tint, obviously the fitting of my fantastic goodies that reside in the shed and a W57 or W58 Manual conversion, I am either going to keep the CT12's or go for a nice big single, maybe VG30 or T28BB. Anyway let me know what you think Cheers for listening to my massive essay [Updated on: Wed, 07 September 2005 04:04] [Report message to a moderator]
