***Skizzup's Money Pit pt. 2***

[Skizzup]

well, a few months ago my car has been changed quite a bit. with the forum wipe, i cant access the first couple pages of my old build log, so i figured ill start a new one.

rather than start from square one, i just post a few pics of it's progression and how it will sit now.

2003-4:
when i first got it. lowered on eibachs and tokico blues. my dad had already swapped it to 4ag with gts tank, cluster etc etc.


2005ish:
fast forward, got tokico hts, tein camber plates, ground controls up front and trd springs in the rear. put in my dads old sparco seat to help me from sliding around the autox course. 13 in rota rb's with 215/50/13 kumho v710 helped me zip around the course much faster. also got a shine auto goodline kit as i was in the middle of a domino effect accident. lol




2006-2008:
lots of random small changes here and there. i started to get more into drifting. went with some sportmax 002 in 15's

marina autox to go driftttt lol




i did a lot of work to the car at that time, but i cant quite remember all of it.

more action shots from 2009:

dumped the goodline rear in favor of a jdm kouki rear with jblood valances.

more marina drift


somewhere between 2008 and 2009 i got a set of work meisters and a set of work equip 01.




here's a few random action shots. thunderhill skidpad way back in the day.

the sr20 swap is amazing. so much speed and power. buts its not without its downfalls. lol i've had to change the exhuast manifold gasket like 3 times in one month. im beginning to think the manifold might be the issue, so im going to have it machined to make sure it's 100% flat. the gaskets are blowing out consistently in the same spots.

also, gotta figure out what rear end im going to run. lol

[ronny]

came a long way..

big props =D

[Skizzup]

thanks ronny. gotta hit you up for some hood shocks haha.

[John H.]

BOOYAH!!!
I missed this build!

[RuizXIII]

Looks awesome! Nice paintwork
How do you like that PSM EVDM unit and the Bride Zeta L (fits better than the standard)?
Nice work so far, man. Looks like a fun car!

[Skizzup]

thanks John. H and RuizXIII

i thought the EVDM was going to be WAY too small to read (it's viewable dimensions is about an inch) but to my suprise, it's very easy to read in the day time and in the night. i might eventually switch out the evdm and go with standard gauges, but then again i might not. haha. but for the price of the EVDM you cant beat it!

i like the zeta iii type L because of the taller leg bolsters and higher back. im not a small guy (5'9 190lbs lol) and it fits great.

[miswuevos]

in the last pic, does anybody see a celebrity riding an 86? hmmm...(cough, cough, gangam style) lol

[Skizzup]

hahaha yeah my friends were telling me to dress up as psy during halloween.

one thing i do miss about the 4ag is the intoxicating exhaust and engine sounds. lol i absolutely loved the way a cammed 4ag with headers no cat and rs*r gtii.

here's a video of me with the 4ag still. too bad the sounds quality gets lost with a cell phone camera.

[kuroki86]

Good ****. The gt wang and the rx7 diffuser will make this car a legend

[KonaTrueno723]

Hey skizzup..regarding ur old set of shine auto sideskirts,did you happen to sell it to a guy in Hawaii recently?

[Skizzup]

Hrmmm I sold my old good line shine auto side skirts to a member locally in the ca bay area. That was a few years ago. I have no idea of their whereabouts. Haha

[Markevans!]

Looks awesome! Nice paintwork
How do you like that PSM EVDM unit and the led bulbs Bride Zeta L (fits better than the standard)?
Nice work so far, man. Looks like a fun car!

Ya they look awesome. I would love to purchase one such car in future

[KonaTrueno723]

Hrmmm I sold my old good line shine auto side skirts to a member locally in the ca bay area. That was a few years ago. I have no idea of their whereabouts. Haha

Yeah I bought a set from a member here & thought it was you..sorry
Your car has come a long way over the years skizzup..the new paint looks great!

[Skizzup]

its all good. yeah i didnt ship my side skirts.

paint is actually from 2010, but is holding put quite well. thinking about changing the aero and re-spraying it. a lot of people run runfree now. haha

i want some tec arts aero or the newer jblood kit. WOOOO that **** is hot like fire!

tec arts


jblood


or bn sports.... always sexy...


we'll see though. i also wanna do up my ls400 though. haha

[KonaTrueno723]

we'll see though. i also wanna do up my ls400 though. haha

ls400's are cool..my son had an ls400,,helped him threw on a set of eibach springs & 20's...it was plush.
But then he traded it for an is300 2jz.. man I just wished he hadn't did that

[Skizzup]

thanks guys.

yeah ls400 is soooo comfortable. plus the 1uz with vvti has enough umph to have fun. lol sliding in the rain is fun, but on the flip side it has one of the nicest rides at 140mph. hahaha

fixed up my exhaust leak from the manifold today, and changed out my wastegate acutuator to an HKS one. finally no more boost spiking or creeping. also added 3 cars to my "highway kill list." hehe

[Skizzup]

Going to be cutting a custom gauge cluster soon.

Trying to source defi link water temp and oil pressure gauges in green and 60mm is no easy task.

Going to order speed hut tach and gps speedo.

I'm just trying to make an old car more modern. Haha

[eightsixgts]

Dino, it's Andrew Farkas (@bhcfarkas) hahha... just wanted to say what up! I've been keeping an eye on your build man.

[Skizzup]

yeah i figured haha.

thanks dude. just slowing building this thing up. ever since the swap, random ass problems keep showing up. haha.

its a blast to drive when its working properly though!

[chocobot]

..Going to order speed hut tach and gps speedo.
I'm just trying to make an old car more modern. Haha

hmm, I once used my smartphone with hud to keep track of speed when my speedo gear broke..
but.. does the smog shop still need the mechanical tranny speedo to perform smog check?
or is speed calculated by the spinning rollers??

[Skizzup]

I believe they have read outs of the rpm and speed in their monitors when I go smog.... Not that I can smog this car legitimately now. Lol

[Skizzup]

damn this sucks. blew my turbo. hahaha

looking to buy a s14 or s15 t28. lol

[John H.]

Have you made any videos of this thing doing work?
Touge and/or track?

[Skizzup]

[Skizzup]

[Skizzup]
