garage happenings

Lexus sold and carina in garage under progress again

New daily driver is under investigation,something like gs300 was but little bit newer.

now we drive this winter with -00 yaris wich i save from scrapyard.

it only needs little bodywork (litlle accident in front) and inspection and now we have driven with it almost two months.

in garage carina is getting new suspension finally.

front struts first,i get for cheap price (20euros ;) ) vw golf model 5 adujastable shocks and h&r springs and those i plan to fit to original hub.

those need little "adapters" to fit but i have friends who can machine to me what i need so lets see what is coming.

lower arms i need longer too to get right camber angles,if i cant find rightones then i customize originals.

rear axle turn is later and if i have time before summer comes i do something to engine too but that isnt main point now...

little service is enough.

updates more when there is something to tell!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016

Little updates for a long time...

Lexus got new summer wheels,8x18 interaction mesh and 235/40 tires.

But im not happy with thoses.
They still look too small for this car.
So im searching now 19 or even 20" rims for a reasonible price...

I havent upload pics from couple of car shows but one i want now share.

very nice looking jzs147 body toyota aristo with 20" rims and air suspension. That what i want for our car but money talks...

I also take those mkiv supra springs and shocks off.

Car was nice and low but very terrible to drive...

So i bought lowering springs and i put original shocks with those back.

Its now 1,8" lower than original,not much but still better look than original offroad-look...

For carina i bought new gear-box. It came from sweden because those cost like 1/3 price if you compare to finnish prices.

Its w59 from 2001 year toyota hiace. That car had 2,700cm3 version of rz-engine,3rz-fe.

Its same block type so bellhousing sits now direct,now theres in place w50 with c-engine bellhousing.

Its so much modified that it fits and there has been many problems with that so i want better choice.

Last summer tires i sold away so i need newones.

Maybe little bigger like 16" with wider tires,time shows what i find.

I tried to drive little while in winter with this but it was pain in the ass...

No grip at all and i stucked many times to snow.

Also low temps (like -20 degrees) and not so good tuned engine doesnt help lot...

I will update pics and videos later when i got car back in business!

Thats all for now.

I try update blog litle bit more in future,now its like idling but hopely it gets more revs later :D
