    Default My Euro E28 - The One We Said Not To Forget.

    It has been almost exactly 1 year since I purchased this car, and I can finally walk outside and truly say I am content with where it is at. That is not to say there is not still a long list of things to get done, but as any real car guy knows, you can never truly finish a build.

    Since you have last saw it I had swapped in a 1JZ-GTE Twin Turbo Toyota Supra Motor with the help of one of my best friends Michael Burroughs, in a single weekend no less. I had also refinished a set of fire damaged HRE 501's sitting 17x10 all round, as well as cleaned up multiple other little things on the car. There have been countless other nights spent under the car with good friend's helping out to get it to this point and I can not thank them enough. A huge thanks has to go out to Adaptec for providing the gorgeous adapters to get the wheels on the car, as well as Chuck for his unbeatable fabrication skills. A special thanks does have to go out to Ryan and Luke who put in a few long nights on the car before IA to get it ready in time, as well as the countless others who have helped along the way.

    The full write-up and photos can be found on Stanceworks: http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/07/f...-525e-returns/

    I don't like this...I love it! Beautiful car! I saw one near me the other day and I think I've added it to my list of cars to own at some point!

    i like everything but the "stance" of it.

    wheels are nice, but the stretch/poke/camber ruins it for me...

    looks like a nice fun ride though.
    You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...
