why c4? the a340e/a341e's are really strong, cheap, available, shift kits are cheap and people have run fantastic times on them practically stock and what are you gonna do about the exhaust on the wrong side? and why 1j? why not 25? seems like a fair bit of work, nice to be different though.

C4 because i have one laying around in my shed. 1JZ cause i love the sound and yes something different. Also the strength of the 1j in stock form. But yes will be alot of work, hence i am taking my time..

Gold whore is gone now :/ so it just the black Calais left, been spending a fair bit of cash lately, well a fair bit of my apprentice wages :/. It all started as a catch can didn't fit and now the engine bay is stripped bar motor and there's all new hot side, should be smoothing the bay soon when the weather clears up. I'll do a build thread on it soon.
