ok guys.. i got my car unstuck out of the mud... my driveway is graveled but there was a spot that wasnt graveled.. and there was a sinkhole that wasnt visable.... my rear right wheel sunk 6 inches into the ground.. so today i jacked the car up and stuck a fuckload of bricks under the tire in the sinkhole, and drove it right out.
My springs are supposed to be here today or tomorow.. so ill post pics of it when its lowered..
I also found out the car has KYB GR-2's all the way around, too... sweet.

they seem stiff.. when i was driving the car they seemed very nice... very quiet ride and really smooth.. WAY better then stock..
i got all my springs installed.. it didnt lower much.. but i havent taken it for a drive so it could settle in yet..
cant post pics cuz my wife has the camera.. so pics coming tonight.

Well.. it looks as if i have some bad valve seals.. its smoking some blue smoke.. and is misfiring.. probably has a BHG too (i got the cometic here ready for the head)
Owell.. more work here i come.
During this time, i'm going to install my w-58.
I got the suspension all done, took it for a drive, and it handles way nice.. but its a bit high in the front.. im not too worried though.... itll sink down hopefully when the springs break in.. The rear lowered alot though.
Pics tonight... im going to take a day or two to come up with a gameplan.. 2JZ may be right around the corner...

pffft no one said anything about 2jzgte =)
im talking to someone right now about 1uzfe... but thats probly out of my skill level.
like i said.. im still thinking about it.. right now my project fund is 0$ id have to go to my dads and work to get project rolling again (he only pays 10$ an hour though)
i spent all my money on springs, tires, plug wires, plugs, cometic, bearings, seals, valves, pistons, and strut bars.

ok so i did an oil.filter change today.. and waxed the car.. she loved it..
All the lowering springs and KYB GR-2s are back on.
Car is still sitting high in the front, i hope it settles down a bit.
Im still not on the road.. i have a coolant leak coming out of the bottom of the I/M first.. and i really dont want to take it off again... its a big bitch.
Also going to DMV tomorow to register it then insure it later on.
