    Who'd be interested in having their 1JZ head CNC ported?

    well if the cost is right for the performance, I would see this as a very popular thing to do. if your getting a head decked and squared off, why not?

    Paint

    I was talking to the local powder coater, they CAN powder coat plastic pieces, as well as over BONDO, for simple filler for large gouges in metal on cheap jobs they use JB WELD to fill in the bumps and then powder coat right on them. The only thing you need to do is find materials that hold up...

    TurboToy-R's "KATSUMI" project

    At the end of the sunny seasons I have put Katsumi into my garage for the winter. Progress didn't really happen to the car over that period, but I sure have been looking forward to this coming sunny season! Sad news though before the car was put into my garage, there was a minor accident...

    Suspension Noob

    thank you for clearing that up, now I know I would like coil overs and not just just modifying my existing setup with parts. My goal is to have a beautiful car that not only performs well, but also handles well and is reliable and a comfort to drive. 60% daily driver 30% hard driving...
