garage happenings

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
