Corzette Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Just thought Id show my progress on my Aristo here in Japan. I got bored and bought some rims, tinted the windows, put a surf board on the rear and customized my front brake rotors with a Japanese flag sticker...hahahaha. I MISS MY Zs.... http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787248.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787255.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787234.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787225.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787208.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787109.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787089.jpg Oh and a new Skyline was in front of me...couple of rear shots... http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787171.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/243787153.jpg Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ghtymaxXx Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 is the lexus badge your own doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corzette Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yeah, I blacked out the Toyota on front. I wanted to put in the grill but cant locate an insert for the grill with the emblem. I may do the rear later...maybe not. This car is a GS300 in the states, hence the badge. I want to bring this engine and tranny back with me if I can with maybe the dash and steering rack etc for someone who wants to do a RHD conversion or something. The diff maybe a good thing too...dunno much about these cars. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Gad Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Loking good Terry, what are you planning to do with it once it is time to come back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corzette Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Thank guys, well Ill be 1 more year for sure and we may try to extend another 2. There is a 5 year max here so I figure why not...kids love it and schools are good etc so...boooooo:roll: Gotta take care of the family ya know...wife is Japanese so she doesn't mind much although she is an American citizen now and thinks like I do...hahaha. She likes Texas better but is safer here for the kids school etc. My son graduates from Marine bootcamp 4 May in SanDiego! Looks like he is gonna make it easily. Anyhoot I will try to bring the engine and tranny etc with me if I can arrange the disassembly and shipping etc. Bringing back the whole car is a little too diificult and more than I wanna get into. I mean they are a dime a dozen here with 2JZ for like $2000 and $3000. I paid $2000 for this one, 1991 model with 48,000 miles for 2K.. I was shocked but thats the way Japan does it. I got lucky and found one with low miles and a great drive train. Its funny how fast you guys are going now...I rememebr when I left, the big thing was getting into the 10s...which I barely managed to do...now its 8s and 9s and even a 7 second pass...whew!!!! am I missing all the fun.....can't wait to get back but the money being here is just too damn good, tax breaks, and nothing to do makes for a good opportunity to save money like never before.......oh and congrats ZGAD on the 8s, plain awesome. As a matter of fact the Japanese mechs at the Army Auto Hobby Shop asked me yesterday if I knew the guy on youtube with the yellowZ 2JZ named ZGAD!!! HaHA..what a small world. I got excited and said yes and gave him our website to look at. He wants to join. Looks like your famous here now!!! hehe. Well I guess I better go eat and start my day....what shall I do today????

Corzette Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Terry, I've said it before, and this just proves my point: You are the king of VIP! Hey VZ how are ya buddy!! You crack me up. Are you sure you didnt get a degree in comedy? Hey what about those layouts for the penny racers? That was so awesome...is there a part three? Oh and I found a couple of pics of my old Mercedez 190E we talked about awhile back. Its got Herbalife stickers all over it in the pic but thats all I could find...haha. That was back in Lubbock Texas in 1997... http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/244018787.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/533777/9811561/244018779.jpg I really liked that car...

veritech-z Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Oh, I need to make some more of those, I actually just got another one: R30 Skyline race car! It was a prize for being one of the first to post pictures in the Datsun Garage at www.japanesenostalgiccar.com. I may put one together on Monday. That 190 kinda looks like you've got a 3-spoke on it. I thought I was in the minority around here with mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
