The next stage in the progress of our GX61 project was the completion of the manual transmission swap. The factory automatic transmission was removed in favor of a W55 which we had on hand from a previous project.

Clutch pedal is custom, and the handbrake from a GX81 was used. … Read More

We continue with our progress work of our GX61 Mark II. The paint was quite weathered and faded on most of the body, especially the bonnet which had bubbling and peeling all across the surface.

Due to thick layers of paint and primer, we used about 4L of remover to finally … Read More

Through a bit of trial and error, reshaping it little by little, it eventually fit perfectly to the car. IZANAMI Co., … Read More

Here’s a bit of the progress on the custom work of the 4-door Chaser we previously introduced. The exhaust is a straight pipe raised up snug to the body to allow clearance.

Extremely wide wheels need particularly close attention to the final balance of the wheel. As wheels are made wider (this Shadow Spoke was built to 13.5J), finding the true balance becomes more challenging but absolutely necessary to the equilibrium of the completed wheel.
