UPDATE! (4/17/2019)

Well ladies and gentlemen. It is an exciting time for Moca and I. Last post I made was little under 5 years ago, but I am back with updates and lots of things to follow. You know rereading, my younger-selfs, writing was pretty cringe worthy. But maybe it will provide some insight on how I have/have not change if we compare it to the new posts that will be coming.

Anyway, the real reason the thread went stagnant was mainly due to my work, being in Japan, and just separated from the vehicle. But now I am back stateside, got my car shipped to me, and have plans in motion for her.

I also made a Instagram for Moca. Please follow e30moca2jz! I will be posting sneak peaks and updates constantly of the car.

But regarding future plans some of the big highlights are the Pandem kit, painting, and wheel alterations.

Thanks for all the support over the past 5 years to my old subscribers and future thanks to all the new ones!

Stay posted!

UPDATE! (10/23/2013)
So the polyurethane engine mounts came in and the engine mount brackets have been welded.

you could make some money selling sets of motor and trans mount brackets.

Hopefully one day i can do a 1jz swap on my e30 shitbox.

Hahh thanks for that compliment. To be truthful I dunno peoples faces with there r3v accounts but I am glad you enjoyed it.

And you will get there one day.

All that matters is that you are a car enthusiast. That is all that matters.

Cool build! found you on e30builds










2jz no shit! i guess one million horse powers ....muhahahahhaha

Hahah thanks for that man. Yea it has been a little hard to update my thread because I am trying to get settled in Japan right now but i'll update it when I get the chance.

I most recently ripped the differential off of its mounts hahah. Nothing serious happened to the car, we just forgot about beefing up the mounts I guess while we where worrying about the diff turning into metal soup. Either way the diff got ripped off and we cut off, fabricated beefier mounts and the car is good to go. Just got to update the thread with pictures and such.

And sorry I don't want to give out numbers for certain reasons. You can pretty much guess a good ballpark from the mods list though

Ya
Dyno numbers sorry

Mostly curious about the manifold and turbo setup as I'm looking for a single kit for my JZ.

The turbo is a BW 366 and we used a CX racing manifold.

What do you mean by rollers brother? And I could put a complete mods list but it will be very long. The big items are in one of my first few posts though. Or is there anything specific your wanting to know?

[Choseph0027]

Hahah sorry no videos, but I plan to be at the e30 picnic in August!
