Added to playlist Cars, drag racing, dune buggies. Do you have any dashcam videos? Holy shit, I didn't know those had even been made! Looks like they were emulating the American muscle cars.

@stopglobalswarming DUDE, it's not original, i built this thing, these cars normally have a 4 cylinder engine !!.

but thank you for thinking it was an original item, thats a great compliment.

Love the JNC plate! is that intentional?

[mickra28]

i don't get it???????????

its just the plate i received with the rego.

[ghostjaguar]

Awesome, please show us more.

I just thought to myself last week, that a 1UZFE would be the perfect donar for the RA28, and you just proved it.

P.s. I was gonna go with cylinder de-activation with mine tho.

The rear reminds me of a 70 mustang, bet she's a helluva alot lighter though.

[OscarBallz]

@mickra28 I know this is way late but if you never got an answer, JNC stands for Japanese Nostalgic Car. You sir got lucky

Can't decide with my 77, 4.0 Toyota V8, The Japanese 5.0 V12....or the Australian pushrod V8s that came in the old school Crowns. I want this car to evoke the performance heritage that Toyota was denied by the U.S. import constraints. My good friend was the original owner and thinks it should rock the 4A-GTEU, build it for 9,000 RPM. The car was vandalized by two kids who thought it was a Mustang, and mercilessly kicked the shit out of it in some kind of patriotic protest, took me years to fix.

This is a truly transcendent car!! I have always liked the look of those cars, and you've done it some true justice with this exotic v8 and tranny swap. Triple thumbs up for the build!!!

[NEWanjingkepala3]
