    Youtube 2JZ service videos

    Thursday, August 23, 2012

    I’m currently doing a camshaft swap on my 2JZ. Thought these old videos I found on Youtube could be helpful to others too ! These first videos are from an old TV show that was made for the now defunct 2Ner magazine and was hosted by Twins Turbo speed shop owners Marc an Eric Kozeluh. [...]

    As much as I love my Toyota Aristo, the lack of aftermarket support gives me constant headaches. Some parts are interchangeable with other models, but most of them have to be customized in some way. Take for example the shifter housing of the R154 transmission from a MA70 I’m using with my manual conversion. In [...]

    Parts shops and more car spotting

    Sunday, February 12, 2012

    Prior our trip we had pretty high expectations about different parts shops in the Tokyo area. Reality strucked us down a bit when we went to Super Autobacs that’s near Tokyo Sea Life Zoo at the Tokyo Bay.   Super Autobacs had much of the same kind of car related kitch you can find just [...]
