looking forward to what you come up with. Lest's see pics asap!
mk2tmr2's build
16
Some of you guys may have seen my non-roadster build thread stating that I was going to convert my daily driver (2003 Lex GS300) into a toy by way of swapping in a JDM Aristo 2JZ-GTE, single turbo, 500whp, suspension, etc.
Scrap that.
I just put a deposit down to hold my next project and it is another roadster. And I won't be starting from scratch on this one. It's already a spectacular example and what's been done has been done right. I'll be taking it, babying it and putting my spin on it.
It will be phat.
That is all. (for now)

Looking forward to following this.
8" +20 grids for this one then?
I hope your NB went to a good home, such a clean example.

I organized that special order and actually purchased the wheels when I was convinced I'd be buying a different colored car. Now I'm not so sure they'll work. I'll either refinish them (which I think could be doep) or sell them and go in a completely different direction. Unsure at the moment.8" +20 grids for this one then?
In for fun
Are you driving it back? SAY YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ordered: Xida Club Sport coilovers from 949 Racing. They'll be installed on the car before I ever see them.
I got 550f/350r spring rates as the car will primarily be driven on the street with very occasional forays into autox or HPDE lapping sessions.
Also ordered some very special seat covers. 95M pattern in 93LE red.
