Had an absolute blast driving the @rvlperformancefab first annual invitational! All the homies showed up ready to party! The chaser was on a sick one. figured out some shimmy shake action that allows me to snap this car on entry. I May look into adding angle since I’ve found the limits of rotation I can salvage. Or maybe I’ll just leave this alone and build a party car, cause this one’s a getting expensive the harder I drive it 😅 #jzx100 #chaser #streetmagic #serial9 #stagewheels
✨SERIALNINE vintage inspiration series: MarkII Blit ✨
Long before I had a Blit I would scour the web for any photos I could find. Minkara was the main source and any link I could find off of that. Manually browsing like 100 pages of owners and their mods was how it worked back then, lots and lots of time.
Being a rare car generally, finding ANY modified examples was difficult, finding GOOD modified ones was near impossible. Pages and pages of weird wagon car nerds with light mods or stuff that wasn't REALLY out there. But when I found it, the excitement was HUGE. Here are a few of the older pics I have from back then. I'll follow up this series with other pics of other car models I searches searched for back then. Hope u guys enjoy!

I have to thank the homies for knocking out the last minute prep for me! Huge shout out to @fearisfatal_official@_jakeriedel@_cadenhammond getting the aero painted, new exhaust on, and all shined up to make Final Bout SSNW.
I cried a little finally seeing it all come together the way I’ve envisioned building one since I was 9-10 playing Gran Turismo.. thank you all who has contributed on this journey 💕 #shinyprimer #jzx100 #chaser
Drifting with less than 1/4 tank?? YES!That's exactly what we did, so you can have FULL confidence in your JZX110/JZS171 when drifting. Our Fuel tank baffle transforms these cars for only $100. Grab one now and say good buy to stumbling and hesitation. #SERIALNINE
💥AK49 Upgrade!💥
We got tired of aftermarket outer tie rods having inconsistent tapers and poor engagement into our AK's. . So we made our own! Controlling both aspects allows us to guarantee perfect fitment and ultimate strength! 4340 chromoly pin with extended taper engages 100% of the AK49. Built in flange adds a large surface area and the system now CLAMPS the knuckle like an ultra precise bolt. Long and short versions to suit all setups. *These DO fit other brand knuckles as well*❗️Current AK49 owners check your INBOX! ❗️We're hooking you up 😉 #SERIALNINE #sedankings.
❗️Did Toyota decided to cheap out on the JZX110/Crown Fuel tanks❓The small baffle on the in-tank tub (SLIDE 2) that exists in XE10 (Altezza/IS300/IS200) and S161 (Aristo/GS300/400/430) was curiously omitted in the X110 (MarkII/Verossa/Blit) and S171 Crown Athlete EVEN though they all share the same basic fuel tank architecture (mid mounted saddle tank with an in-tank tub surrounding the fuel pump). Perhaps in completely stock form with the standard pump they were deemed "adequate", however when you add any moderately sized fuel pump or drive very aggressively these cars suffer from severe fuel starvation issues. Without the OEM baffle the fuel can simply spill over the edge of the tub and starve the pump briefly until the tub is refilled enough to suck fuel not air.
There is NOTHING worse than initiating a drift and the car cuts out right when you're starting to have fun. Even making u turns or aggressive left turns my car would cut out briefly. Kevin had issues even at 3/4 tank in his crown. That is enough to FULLY strip all confidence with the car. 😔
So we took care of that! Our baffle (SLIDE 1) is 100% the best thing you could do to these cars to battle the fuel slosh issue. It works SO well in fact that you don't experience starvation in any driving situation even down to the fuel light, even with a Walbro 535 hellcat pump. We examined the OEM baffle but decided it was still a bit of a compromise, as it simply minimizes the spillage out of the tub, and is only concentrated on the rear 3/4 portion. The fuel level sender sits at the front of the tub so the cutout is necessary to allow full travel at the expense of performance. Our goal was to essentially turn the existing in-tank tub into a surge tank, so we closed off the side where fuel would spill out and made a deflector to direct any sloshing fuel back down onto the pump assembly minimizing starvation even under low fuel situations. The only downside is the fuel level maxes out at 7/8 tank now (there are two senders and they output an average between both sides of the tank). A small price to pay for full confidence and maximum performance. Only $100 and less than 30 minute install. Grab one now!
