Alain’s 1jz FC
This car started out as a 500$ shell Alain told me, and has been a 4 year build for him. All of the body work was done by himself 3 years ago, which was his first time attempting body work by the looks of the condition now he did a good job for a first timer. And after going through 3 Rotary motor rebuilds, he decided to make a serious heart transplant with the Toyota 1Jz GTE swap. And of course anyone that decides to put a piston motor in a Rx car faces a flurry of rotary loyalists who are against this such thing. But Alain always wins them back over with his reply, “Now I have more power and I do not have to worry about popping a motor after each run!” Alain is a certified Do-it yourself type of guy, and his craftsmanship shows in his work…hats off to all the BUILT NOT BOUGHT rides.

Molded bumpers/fenders take the FC, and transform it into a shadow of the FD.
Wangan spoiler out back to keep the rear happy on those highway runs.
1Jz tucked away in the FC chassis with plenty room to spare. The twins getting fed air through the RE-Amemiya hood.
The interior even got a full treatment, with Red/Black leather seats.
RE-Amemiya mirrors are a love and hate type of thing, I personally love them!
I can just hear the JZ humming down the highway!
