This is a top quality build with nothing left untouched I suspect.

Heh heh - you would be right! I popped into the workshop a few weeks ago and Brett was fabbing up a new washer fluid bottle for the wipers! The exhaust system is exceptional as well, with the floor pan all modified so the much larger than stock exhaust can run through to the back without handing too low. The queue to ride shotgun starts behind me!

The queue to ride shotgun starts behind me!

Thanks Matt,

I'll even let you have a drive mate. Besides I dont want any marks on the passenger seat beacuse of my driving.

Still needs the wiring tubed but we will do that last incase we come across any hassles (trouble shooting)

4 inch dump pipe (4inch exhaust all the way and is all ceramic coated)

You have done so well it's unreal. That engine bay is a work of art.

Well done,

Jamie

Can't find words..... just let the pictures speak....

Simply excellent!! Perfect Job! B)

Maybe the stronger heavier frame gives more traction to the IS-Chassis.

[LexusIS200Sam]

this car is looking amazing! i bet you will have many a sleepless night cleaning that engine bay! top marks on the build!

[Obsessed]

Thanks guys, it feels good to finally have it coming together after so long.

A well known magazine over here has been ringing me about a photo shoot. Its booked in as a studio shoot on the 17th for the front cover.

Here are a few more from underneath.

4inch exhaust, floor notched for ground clearance

4x bosch pumps (2 for each tank)

Custom rear end

that custom rear end is very impressive!

That engine bay is immaculate!!!

Why cant i be a millionaire and do a british version of yours

[Unregistered_User]

Because you're not allowed lol

You don't have to be a millionaire or blessed with riches untold. A project needs no time scale - that can often cause cost implications etc.

[Rikos]

Still need some money which is more than i've got

[Obsessed]

This is with the modded bar on and the bay finished.

[Fin_IS_200]

You really have to be impressed by level of quality on this project. Its just amazing.

[RoadRash]

questions is what looks better?

the car or the engine? B)

[Thunderbird2]

Well, Brian_J and myself had a 'quick' ride in this thing on Saturday.

OH. MY. @#$&%$ ***!!!!!!!!!!

I've never laughed so much in a car in my life. Incredible. The enormous power, even at low psi was awesome, but I was stunned at how it revved and how instant the power delivery is, full blown race/drag car stuff. And amazingly, underneath it all you can still feel that there was an IS200 there to begin with.

This car won 6(? - i lost count!) awards at Toymods Toyotafest on the weekend, including best interior. And no one was surprised. It's world class (and should be world record breaking as well).

[Unregistered_User]

Well, sounds like the project is drawing to a close, or am I wrong?

Please pass on my congratulations on all the awards to the owner, Brett. It truley is an awesome car and one particular project that has my upmost respect for the shear attention to detail that has been covered at every possible corner and angle, judging from wha we read here.

Well done once again,

Jamie

[Thunderbird2]

Well, sounds like the project is drawing to a close, or am I wrong?

Still more work to be done! Post registration, there is more tuning to be done for the car's first outing on the quarter mile. At this time, Brett will set about chasing some records.

So, he's still very busy on this project, but expect to see some updates before the year is out.

Meanwhile, here are some pertinent images from the Toymods Toyotafest show:

[PiratePete]

Quite possibly the most gorgeous piece of machinery I have ever seen. :)

[Shorty1979]

yeah that machine is sooo nice :)

[gsportcars]

Damn it I can't bare to look at this thread any longer LOL :shutit:

Every time I see another pic I get more amazed at the amount and quality of work in this project.

Absolutely outstanding and they way all cars SHOULD be built!!!!

[Adie]

This gets better every time I see. Awesome work mate. Nice one :D

Loving the idea to show off the custom under-chassis work - mirrors

How vain yet so well suited! :)
