    Default The Shizz.

    Ok, I only try to post things that are cool. Once in awhile I find something that goes beyond cool and into the realm of "I want to fuck it". This is one of those things.

    A bit of history on this. This truck is owned and built by Chad Copeland. Chad was a partner of ours in Southeast Drift. He owns a sweet Turbo Soarer as well but this is his shining jewel. He started this project with very little welding or fabbing experience and has self taught himself on this truck, not to mention it's only been a year....AND in his garage. The results are simply stunning. Complete S13 suspension, fully adjustable, RHD, SR swap....the list goes on and on.

    I am simply going to post the link. Dive in and enjoy.

    I agree. That thing he is building is a beast. Everyone go there and post good comments on it. Keep up the momentum.

    Thanks for the kind words Jay. I appreciate everyone's positive criticism. I'm really looking forward to driving this thing! It's been a long road and quite the emotional one too. I get so mad at times that I throw stuff across the garage and other times I'm in a euphoric state when building some new piece to the truck. I'm surprised that Kathy hasn't pre-divorced me yet over this thing.
    I give credit to Scott w/ RIP Garage for hanging in there as he built the motor and continues the wiring nightmare, And also to Matt w/ Foerst Motorwerks for coming over in the evenings to lend an extremely fast and knowledgeable helping hand to me and Scott when we hit snags. My brother was a big help to with showing me the proper way to build a cage and fabbing up some of the frame support and bringing me the cool heat exchange from an aircraft for my hood.

    We're hoping to have it running in a few days and drivable a few days after that. I'm gonna try to post up a video of the crank and then another of tuning and then its off to the track for a major shakedown/breakdown.

    Rhoad, as you know, you're the man!


    *edit* Haha! I guess it's been a while since I've been on here! My sig is from 2006! ha!

    Glad to see you made it over here. Yea Chad, that thing is so smooth it's way past criminal. I am so impressed with that work man. It's amazing. I for one am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see new stuff on this. Rock solid man.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for checking out the website! I don't know what hits are going to do for me as apparently everyone is suppose to want a lot of traffic at their websites. So thanks for all the traffic.

    The truck cranked this weekend. It didn't even cough or spit or anything. Cranked on the first try! Now it's down to finishing the gauge harness, lights and toggles and it will be road worthy. Oh yeah, We gotta finish the brakes. :p Brakes are important.


    Thanks Echo, I've got an 88' Toyota GT Twin Turbo Soarer.



    We're still working on the paperwork to get it completely legal in the US. Been working on it with the DMV since February.
