S.O. Life: Stoke street park

Went to Stoke street park today with Topi and Moose, thought it was about time I broke out the BMX as its nice and sunny at last!

Mine and Moose's aim for the day was to get back to the level we were at the last time we rode, at adrenaline ally with Jord back in November I think! So its simple 180's, dropping into the bowl and various peg stalls.

Mission accomplished!! Good day all in all, good to be back on the bike and hanging out with friends.

Nice pic of some graff, taken by Stace.

Touge Heros. Got yours?

Inspiration: X-body skids

If just depressed myself buy writing out a FULL list of all the bits I still need to get Cressylicious rolling.. It's not too bad but, I need some reminding why I'm doing this.

Worklife: V8 CAD project

Just about to finish another CAD project at uni and have had to produce a motion study of the parts i`ve built so i thought i`d show it off abit! It`s a V8 engine block, crank and piston assemblys.

The quality isn`t the best as its the first draft and i`m off into uni again now to finish it up and hopefully make it more clear.

Anyways, here it is!

Time for an injection of BADICAL

I can't remember where I found these pictures. Somewhere random on my internet travels I imagine. I forgot I had them and stumbled across them in one of my JZ folders while looking for something else. The original images were dark and not too clear. I've juiced them up and given them the Sweet Oblivion BADICAL seal of approval.


A Japanese midnight hero JZX90 Cresta with savage wheel fitment. APPROVED!






















Flush and tucked baby, flush and tucked.

Today's goodies

JZX73 engine mounts. Fuck yeah!

I only have one seat belt in the car. It's on the passenger side and I have a bucket in the drivers so.. I need a harness. So bought this ridonkulous one.

The lairy pink actually goes well with my brown bucket seat and the labels are just funny. They must be worth at least another 5 bhp on there own haha.

I'm still front sump and manual JZ bellhousing hunting.. Got a couple of leads. Wish me luck!

Road trippin..

Two blokes, one van, and bits of old Toyota to collect.






















First stop, Extreme Performance in Leicester run by a fella called Keron.


With a steady stream of turbo swaps on mkIV Supras, he's tripping over unwanted 2JZGE engines. I took one off his hands, with an ecu and ancilleries. Annoyingly there had been some confusion in communication as it was not a front sump version that I really wanted. Some bartering on the price compensated for this and I was happy again. The engine came from a manual car too so had a manual ecu which was a bit of a bonus. With some jigging and a crane we got it in the back of Little Toe..


Just how we were gonna get it out at the other end? Well.. we'll worry bout that later haha.

Next stop was for the W58 gearbox supplied by a very helpful and thoroughly recommended Steve at Silverline Racing in Woverhampton.






















Primarily a mkIII Supra tuner, he did have a nice range of cars he was working on. We got a quick tour and he showed off some of the in-house custom fabrication work he does.


His unit was cool and we were suitably impressed. Check out Matt's impressed face..


With the van getting heavier and space running out we had one stop left. The night before I'd found some scruffy but nicely cheap 17x9 Torques on Driftworks. I knew it was gonna be a squeeze but as we were out in the van I figured, what the hell! May as well get the lot in one hit! We arrived at Tanner's house greeted by a mega helpful and friendly Lucy. She sorted us out with the wheels and a couple of spare tyres too.


Counting hurts! haha. I'm so jealous of the cool work space they have for cars at their house.. and that they live so stupidly close to Santa pod!

We passed this on the way back. The coolest thing we saw on our travels..


Back at mine we got unloaded. With two of my house mates helping the four of us got the engine out of the van. It actually wasn't that heavy and hard to to move at all! Phew!


Not a bad haul me thinks.

Tongy, one of my housemates, got excited about the mighty JZ goodness haha.


Couldn't help doing a test fit of the wheels. So snug at the back! Love it! My offset guesstimation payed off. As predicted there are problems at the front clearing the coilovers but, no worries as there are spacers already on their way.























Big thanks to home slice Matt for sorting and driving the van on our epic collectinatin4000 road trip of JZ goodness.
