From when I first got it, some small things I was fixing.
Fixed the horn (was rusted near the connections, soldered a new connector on)
Trans shifter gasket was blown, made one out of some good material from a local company
Built my own tilt for the steering wheel
Replaced the bad BKR6E plugs with 7's. The 6s were way to hot for the amount of boost I am running.
Had a brand new driveshaft made with 1310 Chevy Ujoints.
Replaced the RC550s with ID1000s
FPR Crapped out so replaced with Aeromotive A1000
E36 Steering rack swap
Removed the muffler, running straight pipe now, sounds so wicked
Made brackets for power steering, and had to get a belt to match.
The OEM 2JZ power steering pump has a reservoir on top of the pump. Well my throttle body is too big, so I had to modify it to make it work. Its mounted 90* to the right, and is being gravity fed by the bmw reservoir. Nothing a few trips to bearing service cant fix!
February 7th 2012:
Installed Xcessive Solid Trans Mount after modifying the trans cross member. This made a noticable difference in how the car lays the power to the ground. Before, the stock mount was squishy and allowed way to much movement in the driveline. Now it is solid, and the vibrations at higher RPMs arent that big of an issue, they are tolerable.
Things to add to the list of mods:
SS Brake lines
RX7 Caliper upgrade
Condor Solid Subframe bushings with risers, RTABS, and Diff mount.

Axis Powers - 2JZ E30 Drift Build -
Figured I would finally make a thread about the car. I've had it around a year now, and its undergone some major changes. I originally purchased the car from a member on here who had a shop do a hack job install of the swap. Needless to say, I've had to redo 80% of what the shop attempted to do. That ok though, because I love taking peoples old projects, doing a complete 180, and make something incredible out of them. This car wasn't tuned, and had a slew of eBay parts that had to go. The mounts weren't the best, so we redid the mounts and the tranny mount. Had no power steering so I had to create my own concoction for that. It overheated when getting on it, the wiring under the dash was a mess, etc etc. It just needed some work. Since then its been tuned by AirFed (Hans Morris) and myself up to 20psi on E85 and 15psi on 93. Should make anywhere between 500-600whp on the E85, but I've yet to dyno it and see.
