Djentlemen and Ladies!!!


Man has it been a loooong time since I last posted... Tons and tons happened in 5 months... so a quick update..


Since married now (7/12/14), so absorbing and loving every minute so far with wifey! My kiddo (pnut) has since been here and flown back... was out here for 3 months!! Miss her tons! Found out May 20th, me and the wife are now expecting!! 14 weeks into it currently, and we are very excited! Have a feeling its a boy cause the baby is whoopin up on wifey's system and schedule ahaha!


As far as the car now... about to pick up a set of race headers from Megan and I have the DSpec exhaust to mate up to it. In addition, I have picked up "part time" employment with my friends at New Era Performance, so wrenching on ~800 HP cars is a daily occurrence! Learning a ton and making great friends / connections with the local, LEGAL race scene here.


Over the coming winter... now that I have to get a family car ahaha and I own the tC... the plan is to rip it apart... wait for it... and turn the motor 90*!!! making it to what I believe is the ONLY RWD tC in NY, that is a DD!! We / I have already started planning... figuring the hurdles out that we will encounter, but most will be done in house @ New Era. Budget / cost is still TBD for the full amount... but cost isn't an issue when it comes to fun.


Yeah, I know there are more powerful, already set RWD cars for cheap, but dangit, a fun and small platform as this to be RWD??!! I mean c'mon!! Ill post up pics of the exhaust which will be cut apart to be able to mate up for the motor turn... re welded 90* on the end!


I will catch yall in a bit... but like I said lots of happenings and lots of folks to catch up with on here!! Happy motoring!

Oh yeah... if you take the time to really sink teeth into the nuts and bolts about it... and have some fabrication skills / friends who can... the RWD wont be too bad. Its just fabricating the fluid lines and extending electrical wiring that will be tedious.


What do you mean access??! Yeah text me when ever man!!

Well there you go! That's all the catch up I needed man. Very cool and congratulations.

I've always joked around about turning a motor sideways and making it rear wheel, never knowing someone I know would do it!

Saw a RWD 2JZ Tc at the dragstrip a few weeks ago. Tube frame front end and everything. Thing was nuts! Good to hear from you bro! Sounds like you are living the dream!

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes guys. Just wanted to say, 7psi with a 60mm exhaust vs 10psi and open 3in downpipe is a HUGE difference. Excited to see what it does at the track with that "mod".
