jdmdime Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 And the first appearance of the fj... I got a bunch of little odds and ends with the motor but no tranny. Les was nice enough to give me one of his z series bellhousing so I can use my 280zx tranny. I drove the hardbody home as fast as I could. Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 What a beautiful sight... Sr and fj 510= win The fj looked real dirty and old looking so I tore it appart to clean it all up. I didnt have everything to run it on the oem computer so I decided to go the megasquirt route on ford edis ignition. I welded in the trigger wheel and made a bracket to hold the vr sensor.

fisch Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yummy FJ!! What is great about this thread is that it is like watching a whole season of a TV show on DVD in a weekend rather than having to wait a week for each new episode. Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 what are you all using off that ZX? :huh: I kept the complete drivetrain. Engine, trans, complete rear end and the wheels are on the 510 now... Everything else went to scrap... Yummy FJ!! What is great about this thread is that it is like watching a whole season of a TV show on DVD in a weekend rather than having to wait a week for each new episode. Im almost at the point im at so things are going to slow down... Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 This was my first car back in 2005 I got rid of the old balloon tires (185/65r14) these fit much better. 185/60r14 Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I did a couple of ” angle hacks” to try to get more steering angle and this is how much angle it ended up with. Not bad at all... Itll help me from spinning out... Quote Link to comment

jdmdime Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Then I picked up a dobi skirt spoiler from a local craigslister. He said he bought this lip back in the late 80' s. Now my car is a fj powered snow plow/street sweeper... =) Driving should be interesting... :) Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I picked up a set of konig rewinds from craigs. 14X7 -9. I put a 10mm spacer up front. My rear tires are rubbing on the inner fender lip. Im currently running 185/55r14. Hopefully with a little more stretch I can clear the rears. These are my favorite wheels so far. What do you guys think? Enkei 92' s, advan a3a's or these rewinds? 1 Quote Link to comment
Uber Deaf One Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Those Rewinds definitely look the best IMO. Wish I could find someone to trade me a set for my Panasports :( Nice build! What is the SR going in? Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 The sr is going in my other dime... All my cars are 510' s :) Quote Link to comment

jdmdime Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yeah I really like how it looks when you color match the top portion and leave the rubber lip black. Ive been getting mostly negative reviews about it though. People are telling me to go with the cf spook. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment
