My name is dave, this is my project. It started with a 1984 corolla I purchased for my birthday 2 years ago from Arizona.


At the time I was living in an apt that would not let you work on your car so I couldn’t do anything major to it so I just used it as my daily for a year. Until I managed to move to my own house that's where the project started.





I found another ae86 shell so i just had to get it.


The plan was to keep the coupe as a daily and make the hatch a drift car but at the time i needed money so i sold the coupe.:bang:
So i kept building my drift car


Then more bad news had some problems and had to move out of my house to an apt.

luckily my friends let me put my car at their house

and the building started once again we started with front suspension





suspension is 240sx with 300zx calipers



original plan was to put in a 1uz v8 from a lexus ls400 but the dam transmission kit would not fit properly so i just got fed up with it and sold it
so it was back to the drawing board no idea what to do my friend told just put a 5.3 in it so we went looking for one.

found one for 600 with ecu/wiring

started cleaning it

test fitting need oil pan to proper test fit used old 1uz motor mounts so now waiting on canton oil pan..... more coming soon

this is dope cant wait too see the end result

DID u use the excessive mounts? Were there any clearance issues that u came accross ?
thanks.

yes i used them they worked great for the 1uz but didnt work at all for the 5.3 engine sits too high and holes dont line up
