2JZ 2GS and other frivilous modifications in the works...

[Franklin]

What's up, everybody. I got my friend's permission to start his build thread so here it is. As the title says, the shop put a Supra motor in it. That's all I'm going to tell you. The project car has been in the works for a couple months now.

I only have a couple flicks available on hand so please bear with me.

Enough talking. Here are the lame pict4rs:

That's it for now. Ha

[luxurystatus]

hey franky are you building this ride?

[Franklin]

Nope. I'm on the other coast. Check out the car next to it and you can tell when the project first started and where it's being done. ;)

edit: This is my friend's car and he gave me the green light to post this build thread. More info when he wakes up.

So that's the car I saw at Platinum VIP. It looks crazy! I can't wait to see it done. Kennedy was telling me about the cool wheel specs. =)

[Franklin]

Ahh you weren't around when they mounted the wheels? Heck, I wish I was haha. All I can do is shake my head at the fitment.

Anyway, here's more basket weave for now:

Front: 21x11/12 He doesn't remember

Rear: 21x13

[mrkidd]

that front is crazy....have they put the wide body kit on the front yet in these pics because if they have....WOW....mucho camber ahead

[e30cabrio]

in on page one on an epic build thread

[genetic]

wow those fenders are beautiful

pmvip doing great work there

[widebody_Q]

Wow this is going to be a sick ass GS when done.

[JN.FYC]

hella raw.

[Platinum-VIP]

arent the wheels 21x13 with negative offsets?? or something like that... or was it the rear wheel with a 13 inch lip... something with 13

[widebody_Q]

^^^

Front: 21x11/12 He doesn't remember

Rear: 21x13

The Platinum VIP guys are putting out some serious hardcore vip rides. Like it or not, they hit you right in the mouth to let you know they are there.

VIP lives to see another day

[PROJECTGS3]

thats some serious body work!

[speedaddict]

wow...that's nuts! Interior is ON POINT. Loving it.

[Dominik]

Wow, thats some serious wheel specs! Hope there is some radiusing of fenders involved, cos i'd love to see this on the ground with 21s.

Knowing Platinum Vip though its gonna be done clean as hell though...

[urmyhero4now]

holy fuckin shit. I have to make some calls.

[MR.J]

holy fuckin shit. I have to make some calls.

Ditto!

[Big Steve]

siick! bringing customization of vip rides to another level! can't wait to see it.. :biggthumpup:

[cheez80]

i might've seen a built transmission sitting on a pallet last time i was at platinum... it might've been for this car =X

[Yokotas13]

eh, even im not that rediculous. its toooooo out there for me. but i appreciate the work

[elpresidente]

I take it that's faux basket weave..since I don't see an actual weave, just what appears to be a diamond pattern? basket weave is actually really weaved together and has a very unique depth look due to the in and out of the weave. Looks nice though.

[burgy]

Dam, I really want to see this done...

[Rodneyc77]

This is dope... it's going to be in a league of it's own here in the US...

Can't wait to see it DONE!

[robz_11]

VIP extremeness.

[OCKlasse]

baller

[AutofashionFred]

Very interesting build =) cant wait to see it done. good job!

[VIPStyleCars]

I am very interested to see this build completed. Looks like a damn sick start tho.

Yeaah! That's what my friend said! I'm hard of hearing. :( Hopefully new pics soon!

[Pagong]

[4play4dr]

[tcchino5]

DDAAAAYYYYYMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

[Franklin]

Sorry for the lack of updates as this car isn't in a rush to be done.



No excessive camber work will be done to the front.
Camber in the rear may be tuned to -10°, but I don't know for sure.

VSC Exclusive :P

[augdogg]

Wow! Real extensive work going into this build....i welcome the end product :)

[mrkidd]

[LudeNsol]

[OCVIPAristo]

[vzuptnguyen]

any updates?

[Franklin]

http://www.fotolode.com/images/TrillOne/In-Sixth-Gear/stupid.jpg

[4play4dr]

what a tease! jus curious..how much does this kinda work cost? minus the paint

[Dominik]

Wow, thats incredible! Love to see they are taking the ORIGINAL sheet metal out to make the widebody, instead of adding over the top of it (which is probably all the Japanese guys do). Bet that bill wont be very friendly....

[Celestak]

seems like the pull is too much and he'll still end up tucking! but I s'pose that's what he wants since that's what most ppl go for nowadays.

[208Soarer]

Dedication! That's all I can say. Lots of dedication!

These flicks were taken earlier this month. Enjoy!

p.s.: Doesn't the last flick look like it's an E46 M3? Haha

[Celestak]

It's too much imho.

[carlos]

rear fenders look awesome...the front, not so much.

[phillygs3]

A lil too much for my likings , but definately apreciate the work that went into it

[MrExecutiv]

wow, wide like whoa.

[BIG TY]

looking good!!

[airmax]

not sure how i feel about it. but ill give it time to be finished before i judge it.

[GS300ToM]

p.s.: Doesn't the last flick look like it's an E46 M3? Haha

thats exactly wat i was thinking

[Dominik]

I personally prefer it if it had smaller diameter rims. Because from what i can see, its sitting at a fairly practical ride height and its already flush. I prefer impractical, silly, stupid heights... =)

But that fender work :giggity:thats just awesome!

[golfkid777]

Ya, fenders needed to be radiused hard when they were built or smaller diameter wheels need to be used, that car stands tall!! Fenders arent my style, but the work is quality!!

[20sburning]

i like.. do I spy so flipped face wheels???

[widebody_Q]

The rear fender/door work is so sick. No one can say other wise. The front fender was nice too from the rear view until it got to the straight on view. I personally think its too much. I also agree with the high height of the car. We will see what color the car will get painted. Darker colors can hide lines better then lighter cars. Overall, I am feeling everything except the front. I rather wait to see it out of paint before I make a final judgement on it. Keep us updated

[mike043081]

Yeah I don't know about the front fender work but the rear looks awesome. I am very intrested to see how this turns out. Plz post pics win done

[DirtyJerzey]

the rear is insane!! Looks good. The Front im on the fence about, but final color and change the look of them. The wheels are ILL, you can see how much of the tire really touches the ground. Keep the pics snappin

[augdogg]

In agreement w/ other posts. Rear is perfect!!!! Front is too anguler, like a Subie or truck of some kind. I see what the vision was going for, imo removing those hard lines in the front will match up and balance w/ the rears smooth lines...Clean work though! I mean theres just alot of un-needed space up in there...

[NELSON09]

That's A LOT of work right there. WIIIDE , like a dually.

[speedaddict]

rear flows so well...what happened to the front? Either way, i can appreciate all the hard work put into this car.

[Pagong]

Is that the ride height?

[BAHC]

i dont think the front fenders are ugly, but just a tad bit too wide.

[jdmpalace]

That's different, I can't wait to see the finish job !!

[VipDout]

Wow , In for the final product , and many of you could be judging way to early,

I love crazy work like this and it was pretty fast too.

what color does he have in mind ?

[romeo291]

Oh man, more pix pleaseeee!!!!!

[k4rr]

thats a nice project

[ni5mo240]

rear looks awesome, idk on the front the straight line looks odd, but turning out great none the less! What color is it gonna be painted?

[SNG35]

wow...that's is gonna look sooo sick when it's done...so aggressive and w/ a 2JZ too? killer sedan...

[silverbullet]

would that build be taking place at PlatinumVIP??

[Franklin]

Yezzir.

[MR.J]

rear fenders look awesome...the front, not so much.

A lil too much for my likings , but definately apreciate the work that went into it

but cant wait till its finish.

Exactly. Color of the car will make or break :eek2:

[BAHC]

after seeing this car in person, i can say that.... ITS FREAKING AMAZING. turned out so much better than i would have expected from this build thread. for me, it completely stole the show at wekfest (aside from maybe the other plat vip car with the browish maroonish interior, nicest interior ever) the wide body was executed perfectly...

[BAHC]

it was at wekfest. im sure pics will pop up soon

[Dominik]

Just saw a pic on the gallery on the homepage of this site. Pearl white is a good choice with such extreme body mods; and you are right, it looks much better painted.
