coFF33's GZ11 Soarer - Extra Edition - Old school sexy

[coFF33]

Ok story goes like this :

After my dad mentions that there is another soarer exactly like my JZZ20 drift car up in Leeman , which is 4 hours north of Perth, where he lives... i was interested in how anything

1. could not be completely rotted coz Leeman is on the beach
2. could possibly be imported and up there ? coz as i said its beach/desert spec where only Holdens and Fords roam....


So i go take a look, its a MZ11 Extra Edition. The guy tells me the 5MGE over heated once when his wife was en-route up there from Perth and they towed it home.

In their yard was a MASSIVE 89' Turbo JDM landcruiser style thing with chrome everywhere and clear indicators etc etc ,,,, so it was believeable..

anyway... got her on my trailer with my Surf and towed it 5 hours home at 80kph in the middle of summer, attempting not to Blow up my 2LT in my surf.







Then after getting it home and attempting to fix the Blown headgasket 5MGE with some Sealup, i gave up, and found someone selling a 2JZGE which would have been PERFECT , had the sale gone though, which it didnt.


I continued to drive it now n then with the 50psi compression in the 5th cylinder , just coz im impatient.


Then on DRIFTWA.com forums , a car came up for sale that sounded VERY familliar.....
It was "Stomps" from toymods old banged up piece of fucked out shit GZ10 which back in 2005 he bought my old 1GGTE single turbo CT26 off me when i was doing my 1JZGTE conversion on my drift car.

He had installed the 1GGTE into this drift hack/abortion/sad spec GZ10 and made it kinda alright, and apparently whoever he sold it to did all this bullshit to it and fucked it out

some sad pics:





So the kid selling it to me didnt know i knew anything bout toyotas, so he was ranting on about how the motor had a highflow CT26 which is more powerful blah blah, and i was like yeah dude sick ill give you 1K for it COZ ITS BLOWING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WHITE SMOKE OUT THE BACK WHEN ITS RUNNING.

So i get it home n shit and check out the turbo, as the motor sounded VERY smooth , just like when i used to own it.





Cool , so the turbos just blown, fuckit who cares, CT26s are easy to come by.
so later that week i found one on , for $50

i got it, even though it had some fucked out bent fins on the compressor wheel. i just needed something that didnt smoke that i could throw on to pass registration and get it on the road.


cool.

Into the backyard of the Odin Garage we go ...






My girlfriend who (i praise god every day ive found one) is into cars, mainly honda's as shes from NZ, helped me remove the 1GGTE from the GZ10 abortion car and we got it seated on a tyre to clean it up before it goes into the MZ11, as the "pits" here in Perth for rego are real tight asses. One of my mates came over towards the end of the removal, as he just got back from Fly in fly out work and couldnt believe what id found.











After we'd removed the 1GGTE and loom n shit from the GZ10, i called up MattAE86 who always comes to assist me when i know im gonna fuck shit up.
I told him what the plan was and we got underway removing the 5MGE from the MZ11, which was suprizingly simple. and not as hard as the 1G.... anyway








some other mates came round coz we had beer and it was fucking like 38 degrees and they wanted to drink me and matts beer,,,, so here they are :





Jerks....

[coFF33]

And after a whole day , it was in the bay, and running very loudly through only a dump pipe...







We Were stookkkkkkedddd.....









So anyway, after all that was done there was a fair bit of welding to do to the exhaust to make it legal height etc for the car to go over pits and a few other mods here and there interior and electrics wise to have the MZ11 dash running with a 1GGTE in the bay.
This was done with the assistance of Many phonecalls to TRIPTEK, WILBO, ADSPORT and a few others on toymods forums that i know personally.

After a solid week of working on the car to bring it up to what the Registration people would classify as "legal motherfucker" it was ready , and i went to pits...






There was a few dramas with the following:

1. The speedo was out by ~12kph (was showing slower than what i was going)
2. The Diff and gearbox were "noisey"
3. He couldnt find the engine number even though i FUCKING told him where it is ~12 times and he was just being a slack fuck.
4. something else minor that i cant even remember being related. douchebags.



so i went home, Whitesandshoe from Toymods came over with some drive gears to put in the W55 with less teeth to speed the speedo up.
cool

Put some chopped up bananaskins into the gearbox and diff along with thicker oil to make them STFU

and got flurio pink spray paint (the same one as i did the floors of my driftcar with) and put a big massive fucking X on the engine number on the engine so he can "locate" it ....

[coFF33]

Then i passed pits ...............






Installed my Nardi wood that i got for XMAS from my GF and the 250mm Shiftknob that she got me too !
anyway...

[coFF33]

Scored some semi cheapish Rays Racing mesh from a mate, who he no longer drifted on and just had sitting round.... 15x7 +10 and 15x7.5 -4
rubber = 195/50/R15 all round


it looked nice, seeing as id just copied Johnzoku after hassling him many times on MSN and put in some JIC S13 coilovers in front and edited the springs in the rear whilst adding Camero shocks in the back.











After this i finally fixed the paint

as it was sitting in this dudes yard up north in Leeman for ~3 years , which is approx 5min walk round the corner to the beach, and is always like 40 degrees and sunny.....

anyway, rust wasnt MAJOR, 1 rear wheel arch was completely applecrumble
there was a patch on the roof just above front window , and also a patch on the rear window seal area.

along with the boot, as always , being rusted through where the badges are.


So after a solid 2 - 3 weeks of work on the car with my GF once again helping.... in fact she did around 80% of the sanding and 60 % of the painting whilst i worked on the rust areas ... as they were fucking ANNOYING and u need to use angle grinders and shit on them....

so yer

[coFF33]

I then was convinced that , what i was gonna do was yet again retarded. like my when my Z20 drift car was covered in sparkley red vinyl.... im gonna use rollers to paint my car with rustkill gutter paint....


The GF and i researched "how-to's" on the net and came across 2 awesome ones, one for a FC RX7 that was done (which is great coz its square like the Z10) and the other was a porche carrera,

I followed the guide best i could on what to buy etc

i got:

24 hi density foam rollers
4 handle things for hte rollers
1 4L tin of White Knight rust kill FLAME RED paint
1 4L tin of 100% mineral thinners/spirits made by "DIGGERS"
coz we were using orbital sanders to sand each layer off i also bought
Rolls of sandpaper in 250/400/600 grits.


we got under way with a 60/40 paint to spirits mix
this didnt work well, seeing as i KNEW we needed 50/50 but my mate was like nah bro put more paint in... fuck stick

and we pretty much sanded that layer off
then
started doing 50/50 mixes and rolling them on

[coFF33]

After 6 coats of paint (maybe it was 7 if u count the first)

and a small lick of White Knight Rust kill Flame red Rattle can for all the edges and bits i couldnt get at with rollers i got this :







And then went to a car show (pics in first post)


and just today i got these !!








So its time now.

To remove Apexi big fat fuck muffler, install 2x 2" or 2.5" pipes out the back. off the current 3" exhaust.

And then install the under tank spoiler which ive got in my garage, along with the lip spoiler once they have paint !


EXCITE

[coFF33]

Hey all!

installed the RA60 celica seats into the MZ11
They are so much lower than the original seats, and although not as comfy (read: Worn out)
they provide the much needed side support and lower bum area so i can be held in the seat more than before and also not have my head so close to the roof!

I also got done painting the front chin spoiler and the rear undertank spoiler.

Does ANYONE at all know of a guide or have ANY ideas on how you attach the undertank spoiler ? i can see where it sits thats obvious, but there are no bolts in it and no holes for bolts or anything....

IDEAS PLZ

[coFF33]

Oh hai guys

i have front chin spoiler action






was kinda annoying to fit, as i had to chop the very tips off it to make it slip on easyer
bolted on with 2 mm nut & bolts on each end

has withstood 110kph freeway action so its fine

[coFF33]

New pics !!!

Went down to the workshop and did some new exhaust action !!!

removal of the Giant 1984/1985 Apexi muffler was a hassle as it was so heavy and massive.

once complete Adsport skills came out
and BAM :
