Toyota Crown JZS171 - JDM Barge
Discussion
Not much to update on the boat! but she got new shoes.
These are 19's rather than 18s.
Work Zeast ST1
19x9 et32 front
19x9.5 et25 rear
I'm liking it!
think 19s fill the arches much better than 18s.
I still have my SSR's sitting tucked away as I do genuinely love the wheels.
not sure whats next for it, maybe a pod filter to hear the 1jz more?!
still need to get the tints done and exhaust chopped off to tidy it up a little as I don't like the big backbox hanging on the rear. She's due a service too, have done 10k KM in her since purchase.

We're using an old crown as a dyno test hack at the moment.
It's done 80+ full-throttle runs in the last two weeks - about half of them with a mapped-in misfire to try and upset the control system.
It looks like a heap, but with the current boost level it's around 350 kW, and totally consistent at that power level.

Loving those wheels, looks so so good. I've orders some RAY's from Japan for my S180 - looking forward to getting them on the car 
thank you! Finding decent wheels here is not easy! unless you go buy new and new as you can imagine 19s in custom sizes etc are crazy to buy, think these are near 4k with tyres! Post some pictures once you get yours.d_a_n1979 said:
Looks stunning as always pal; a real credit to you
thank you!Hugo Stiglitz said:
Apart from oil changes what needs to be done on these?
Commutable? There's a decent one on AT currently but expensive at 8k?
mine is a daily.Commutable? There's a decent one on AT currently but expensive at 8k?
as said it had a refurbished turbo a couple of years back but other than that just been the regular services and brakes/other consumables.
There are a few things that can basically write it off.. like windscreen or radiator where they seem to be expensive and very hard to source, so going custom is the way.

Another lovely set of wheels Grudas. I'm not so sure about the stretched tyres, but that's just me 
I could have more meat both front and rear but they came with the wheels that I got used(300m on them) so they're fine for now! I rarely keep wheels long enough to need new tyres so they'll probably be gone sooner or later.AW111 said:

Typical Toyota! takes all the abuse It's done 80+ full-throttle runs in the last two weeks - about half of them with a mapped-in misfire to try and upset the control system.

Looks crap 
Oh! Calling the scrap man now 
I'll give you £12.50 and a bag of Pickled Onion Monster Munch
In all seriousness it's a stunning car pal; every credit to you
Wheels suit it to a tee; although I'd be paranoid about catching them with such thin tyres!

Thank you!
Yeah the tyres are scary.. no rim protector at all. I have hit some potholes and had to double check it was okay after.
Has been okay overall tho, can still get away with it!
I would like more meat in the future but since these came with the wheels I'll run them down.
