Kyojin Build : XI | New look for Kyojin

Every drift machines needs its own identity and for Kyojin , I chose to go with one of the famous designers ' Andrew ' AKA  " AWS Graphics " and this guy if he is good at something he is a magician when doing car designs !

I provided andrew with images for my car and he drew it exactly as it is ! check the below 

then he took couple of ideas and directions from me and created his magic to finally receive this stunning artwork

 

Time to apply it : 

I went to Royal Wrap in Qatar and the work is AMAZING! WIP photos will be in a different post after doing a proper photoshoot for the car

The Build Part V : Putting Things Together

HIn this post will show how parts look like while/after installing 


- Brembo Brakes ( Front )  ( 4 Pistons ) 

 


- Brembo Brakes ( Rear ) ( 2 Pistons ) 

 



- Tomei 2 Way LSD 

 

- 1JZ + R154 installed 

Knowing that the 1JZ engine is bigger than the FA20 engine the stress bar had to be removed in order to make the fitment also another problem came in while installing the R154 Transmission it was very huge to be installed that's why some cuts and welding was needed in the fitment 

Pictures below gor the final fitment 

The Build Part IV : New look for Kyojin

I was not willing to do any upgrades on the looks of my GT86 but got a super cheap deal for Rocket Bunny Kit ( 8 pieces ) for front and back fenders to make it wider so decided to buy it and use it .

Here are the images for the parts bought yesterday 20th of July 2015 .

 
The parts shows the front and back Rocket Bunny side fenders that will give the car a wide body look. Excited to install these on my car.




Final Shape of the car will be posted here . but it should look like something like this

It is time to put all of these together but first let us strip the car down ;) 


- We say goodbye to the old engine 

Car been in the garage for two weeks to make all the parts ready and do the wire mapping for it before stripping it down! 

Photo for the engine before completing the swap 

Goodbye FA20

- The front bumper is out now and for those who did it by themselves they would know how hard it is to do it . 

Front face is all removed ( Lights , Intercooler , bumper ) it hurts so much to see such thing :'( but the coming will be better 

Car is on the Jack and NO ENGINE IS INSIDE !!! Wohoo completed the removal of the engine 

This is the setup as of 15th of July 2015 

Waiting for 1JZ mounting kit as the one we brought earlier was not for the GT86/FRS and along with that we will have the Hydraulic Handbrake too :) 

Will complete the setup next week when parts comes
