WTF to do with lux?

[747]

2ofdem looks like making a few friends

I can get a 2jz front cut for 3k, another 3 to get it on the road. Would it be worth 10k?

you know if you do this you wont sell it.

you ill go run a low 12

then you will out a gt 42 on it $1500, gate $450, manifold $400, microtech $1500 fuel system $2000, gas kit $1400 and you will go run nines cause you have the macdaddy of engines. this will piss off just as many rich cars as the civic did, if not more, and it will be a shit load more fun

agree with 747.. if u go to the effort of finishing the build, you would be foolish to sel it.

You see, your not helping

Old plates = ALLMTR
New plates = EBAY9s

As such sell it to Justin

Put a diesel in it and flog it/ keep it as a work hack.

[Dave]

vote changed, fuck that shit, sell everything else, leave the ss as is and chuck two beyonces in that mufucka

[Dave]

can you get nomotr plates?

[pdawg]

honestly which way are you leaning towards? as most have said you would be foolish to do a decent conversion than sell because youll never get your money back. if no one wants to buy as is give sims a call

[pdawg]

just an idea buy some cheap chinese 22 inch rims

[ALLMTR]

Hilux 1k (free)
2jz front cut 3k (in qld)
glide conversion 4k (na stick with A340)
gt42 2.2k (can get for 1.5k)
hks cams 1.5k
manifold 1k (ebay $200 ftw)
inj/pump 1k (already have one 044, just need another and inj)
microtech 1k
ice cooler 1k
9 inch 2k (or see how long the lux diff lasts)
extra spent on fibreglass panels, alloy seat, blah blah
Should make over 1000rwhp. Should run high 8's at 11ty billion mph (or high 9's)

Maybe I should take my own advice...

Got three weeks off coming up in March. If I get a front cut, I might be able to get the conversion done in that time.....before I change my mind

DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON. :D :D :D

Is anyone else feeling a bit of deja vu here?

Speaking as a veteran of many unfinished projects, make sure you are popping some 'single mindedness pills' in the meantime.

How's the 120Y going?

[HoonBoy]

I think you should take Grump Roosters advice :D

See readers rides for update!




Thanx Secoh

try to find another motor chuck, half cut you will waste to much moolah.

dotn get dry ice cooler, experience shows they arent so crash hot, to big of temp change form start to finish on track.

if titan can run 7.80 at 190 without one so can you.

engine 1800 to 2000
box with bell $400 (if you build up the box like mine $2400
stall convetor $ 400 with lockup
microtech 30 psi version (ret $1695 iwth x6box) say $1495
fugg cams, GAS kit will be cheaper
manifold $200
piping $ 500
intercooler 600x300x90 $750

if its not going to be street registered, put it on methanol

i reckon its a cost effective package

[ALLMTR]

Where can I get a 2jzgte motor for 1800 to 2000? I hear your selling one

Someone needs to explain to me how a lux weighs 1330kg? A friggin HX ute doesn't weigh that???
