The Jazmobile Has Landed!

Hey Folks

My 'Labour of Love' is now complete & I just wondered what my fellow Modders thought about it?

Nothing too major under the bonnet (2.2 Litre Turbo Deisel, Chipped to 205bhp).

The project focussed mainly on Styling, Interior and ICE

[EASI JAZ]

The total cost of the project (car + modding) was circa £50k

Yeah, I had hoped to finish off with an engine swap for a 'souped-up' Supra 2JZ engine (tuned up to 500bhp+), but unfortunately I blew my budget lol :-(

And to be honest, I struggled to find a garage to do it anyway!

Not to worry... That could maybe be a future project for someone else I suppose.

Everyone's opinions and advice is appreciated... I suppose the thing with modding is that you don't always set off with the intention of spending what you finally do... One thing kinda leads to another and before you know where you are, you've changed just about everything.

Must admit though, I've enjoyed the journey & the shows, etc and it's felt quite good having a car that's quite individual.

Probably won't be doing so much to my next car lol :-)

About 40(ish).... C'Mon lads... You can't beat a good old Mid-Life Crisis! lol

I know this ain't necessarily a modifying site, so I expected a mixture of different tastes and opinions, but all-round I think it's been an interesting and enjoyable discussion... Thanks to everybody for the enthusiastic input (especially the supportive stuff lol)

Have you ever been in Helensburgh? I remember seeing a very similar car with matt black boot and bonnet i think? Can't see many pictures, just a new white IS and remember the wheels. Was a while ago.
Stood out in of the middle of the boring street. i certainly gave a look
Hope you enjoy it!

Yep, that was me! ... Last summer I agreed to chauffeur my friend's daughter & her pals to their school prom... The car ended up drawing a huge crowd and being photographed for the local newspaper! ... Unfortunately it was pissing with rain!

Glad u liked it m8... Cheers!

Whats the need for the 6by9s in the boot?!

It's really for the shows... With the boot open the 3 subs are very overpowering so you need the 6x9's to mix in a bit more vocals etc through the base... To be honest, I would have preferred to have another four 6x9's in there, but ran out of perimeter surface to fix them to :-(

Have you ever been to Crail raceway? Would have been a while ago now. I remember thinking it was quite smart in the flesh I also remember those wheels.

Yeah, went up there over a year ago for a max power show at the end of the show season, but the weather was a total nightmare ( lashing rain & gale force winds lol ) ... So me & my 2 nephews settled for a few runs on the drag strip & an anstruther fish supper on the way back down lol... Happy Days!

Cheers Lads!
