[QLD-BNE] JZX-100 Chaser : Weekend fun - *RIP*

[woot woot]

Did you have any issues with abs lines or anything with the fortune autos? I did not notice any tabs on them?

Interesting...

[Tats]

I can't recommend the Fortune 500s enough ... the Aurion Sportivo felt bumpier than the Chaser lol..

Ah THIS was the feedback I was waiting for. Did you specify different valving/spring rates?

Sick of the D2s on my car already, thinking about ordering the 500s but haven't got any decent feedback except from the Sydney distributor.

[JDM101]

Tats you sexeh hound you - I asked for 12F/8R :) that was it. It took 5weeks to get them though but well worth it.

I'd buy them again :) - after a bit of driving, very comfy - my old man drove it back from the tire shop and he asked if I had removed the coil overs lol..

yeow:









intake pipe, cooler intake pipe, the breather lines and the cold air panel = next to give for black treatment. love it !

[Canyonero]

I love chasers..

my internet has been shaped so all the pics arent loading.. so, until next week.. lol.

[JDM101]

And today it got a set of new rear tires - 245/40s Falken Ze912s. Quiet tires, plenty of grip - no testing in wet conditions yet and car feels lighter to drive.

The pics are deceiving, obviously the phone camera doesn't show you the fine dust particles.. but I gave it a good wash and now its all clean and parked

While I accept there is a 2% difference in the rolling diameter front/rear. ABS is fine and no dramas in driving. I'm a fool for not having listened to the OG JZX owners sooner, in going 225/40 upfront - makes heaps difference !

Jesse package will be here in a weeks time. That was the red stitched steering wheel, c/f look rear number plate surround and c/f look cluster surround.
I'm feeling the boot might be lacking a lil something so next will be a c/f bootlip (this should be real c/f - Jesse will hook me up as usual)

A forum member will be helping me change my vvti solenoid. Fk I love JZX forums in that aspect, community spirit +++

Thanks to a prominent JZX forum member I got some more pointers for maintenance bits to replace.. So that resulted in the following order:



You'll notice I got myself a new badge for the grill, it's been looking odd without it. The other plastic bit is a new panel for the drivers side power window panel (yes they're plastic.. with carbon look lol..)

I've come to the conclusion I don't like the amp fuse bolted on the battery holder arm.. so got a replacement to relocate amp fuse .. can you believe a mere $4.71 for new radiator top brackets fwoar !!

Sometimes, no joke - I'll look back at the part descriptions and be like huh wtf was that part.. but it makes sense once they arrive.

Next update once I get the new parts.

[JDM101]

Next round of powder coating



hmm where can I buy this seal ?


thinking thats why I been getting a bit whistle hmm

I am still waiting for my Amayama bits, how long did your's take to arrive?

When did you order them? They had a shutdown for a couple of weeks last month that might have slowed things a tad

Nevermind, got it, expect around 2 weeks postage.

[JDM101]

how it sits these days lol:

Some more Amayama goodies:

pending 1 more order.

Going crinkle red for cam covers - replacing coil pack connectors (heat sheilding them this time), 1 step colder Denso spark plugs too.

[zrb]

E.P.I.C

[JDM101]

THANK YOU AMAYAMA <3





Coil pack connectors, coil pack cable clip (mine was broken), the rear seat belt clip (where the belt passes through, broke mine a lil while back lol), the bolts to cam cover.. I wanted new shiny ones.. and rocket cover seals =D

[JDM101]

Now
I'm happy with the spark plug valley, really wish I could just reach
inbetween the injectors and clean that area out too >.<


These kents:


To maybe turn into these kinda kents:

[JDM101]

Thanks to a fellow JZX'er found these:

wtf are they? - good qs.

they go here:

While removing covers noticed how the following pipe seemed a lil crusty looking for my liking..

Thank you Amayama you brilliant brilliant people .. Sorry local Toyota part suppliers, I know you need to run your business but I need to see $$ spent more on parts, less on tax / delivery / whatever else you can think of charging me.
