All-Wheel Drive EG9 Build… Part 2

As much fun as it is during a build, there is no better feeling than knowing you are moments away from completion. Today we take a look at the great amount of progress Bally has made with the AWD EG9. Moving forward with the bulk of the plumbing, fabricating & wiring he has been busy pushing this build to the finish line. We’ll be touching on a few of the major changes since our last post.  

For those who may want to view this build from the start I’ve provided the links below:

All-Wheel Drive EG9 Build… Part 1

Now that you guys are caught up, let’s begin today’s post…

 

As I would have mentioned in a pervious post, the purpose of the Civic is to take over from where the Evo left off. Having a much wider stream of support along with a lighter chassis made it the optimal candidate for this mission. Also, it’s a huge difference starting a build from scratch with a dedicated purpose in mind verses trying to pile things on top of a factory built car. 

The aim for the build is to have a car which can compete within the mid 6 sec range with hopes to dial it down to low 6s. If all goes well throughout the development stages & he can achieve a 5 sec pass that would be the icing on the cake. In terms of power, the K series motors have been proven to produce endless amounts of power, basically the sky is the limit. In Bally’s case he is shooting for around 1200WHP  however, the car will more than likely race around the 800-900WHP range & ramp in the boost as the traction is available…

Sol’s JZX100 Chaser Build… Introduction

20221128_143654

Welcome back! I would have mentioned in the last post that I have some new content coming up for you guys & today we’ll be taking a look at the first in this series. No stranger to the site, I bring you guys a new project from within Sol’s garage.

Currently, there is quite a bit of activity going on within his garage in relation to project progression both from the performance & also from the maintenance side. Over the next few months I’ll be bringing you guys a more in-depth look at the progress being made.

Already having a few projects underway, its never too soon to begin a fresh new build. We take a first look at a car he’s had in his possession for quite some time but was actively taking his time on the direction in which he wanted to take it. Often known for being carried away with his builds in the years past, Sol has started to take a more subtle & purposeful approach towards car building in recent times. Straying away from his all out builds, he’s now at a stage where he has a new found appreciation for these machines & the way they perform. With a new found focus in mind, some of his builds will be adjusted to better suit this philosophy while adding a few personal touches.

To start off this new style of building, lets kick it off with his Toyota Chaser JZX100 Tourer V. What better option other than a famed 90’s Japanese classic. These cars have been stirring up quite a buzz in recent years & are rapidly becoming a sought after cult car. Believe it or not, the main idea behind acquiring the car was based around his Mark IV Supra.
