Tried to make a comeback....didn't work out as planned

I know a few people have been waiting for an update. This will most certainly not be the update you were looking for. Due to some personal issues, and the shop fees being WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more than I'd budgeted for, I'm selling the JZS147. The car was "built" by Touge Factory of Chicago and the work was top notch. It's definitely pretty to look at, but I haven't even driven it yet, nor do I want to. Soley for the reason that it actually makes it a TINY bit easier to part ways with her. Most people that follow this blog, probably also follow me on instagram and tumblr, so you've already seen these pics, but I'll share them here anyway. This is essentially a photo dump and good by to this car. I don't know when I'll be back in the game but it won't be anytime soon.

The packout...

So the time is drawing near. Yesterday (and today) all of my belongings are being packed and picked up by the moving company. Very bitter sweet. I can't wait to start life after the military, but I know I'm going to miss Japan (I miss it already). So in preperation for this packout I tore down one of my 1JZ's to bring it back to the states. Not sure if I will do a 1J/1.5J/2J, but this helps me keep my options open. I have engine management and cams for a 1J and I'm very PRO 1J so we'll see how it goes. Anyway, heres a few pics of the engine tear down (engine was disgusting, still had decent compression though), and pack out as well as a few other parts I picked up along they way that have also been packed out. *If you didn't know, once I'm settled in I plan to build an X8 Cressida*
