Bagged V8 E30 - From New Zealand

[Sean (V8E30)]

Bought this car with the 1UZ-FE swap already done (about 2 years ago) but was in very rough condition cosmetically. Have since resprayed it in Alpine White, built up a set of BBS RS003's, and more recently got Air Lift air suspension installed with Accuair E-Level management.

Still plenty more to go, need to alter my exhaust so I can lower it more, as well as tidy up the interior.











(Excuse the lack of centre caps in these pictures, they're on their way)

Won't be everyone's cup of tea, open to all opinions/advice

Now that's different.. A Toyota v8.. Tough to squeeze in there?!
Looks clean.

You need to make the adjustments to get that on the ground.

Yeah man as I said in the description, need to modify my exhaust. When aired out, the exhaust is literally on the ground.

Will be about 40mm lower in the front and 20mm lower in the rear.

WOW! As mentioned earlier, we need to see and hear a video of this beast........

Update: Just got the front lowered by another 35mm and the rear by 15mm. Looking a bit better. Next up is custom wheels. Thinking Rotiform TMB's. Thoughts?

I think TMB's or lm5t's would definitely set this off. Great looking wheels. Are there videos anywhere, I want to see this thing ripping corners.

No videos yet sorry haha.

I think 17" lm5t's would work the best for the look you are trying to achieve. Same price point as well. I would throw some on there, fully polished, and call it a day .

In regards to your 16" vs. 17" debate, I think it depends on the wheel. I've seen plenty of 30's on 16's and they looked awesome..same can be said for 17's. Its all preference my friend.

We need to hear the V8 roar, and see it in a video..........

Very interesting- certainly not the most powerful v8 for the trouble, but definitely a cool swap!
