Future Plans

Now that I am getting to a bigger better part of my life I have decided the car that I would like to build. It is a Lexus is300 with a 2jz which is a 3.0 engine and I would like to add aftermarket turbos from precision turbo, most likely 88mm. I'd pretty much add all the little features but I basically I want a turbo 2jz.

The car in the video is a 2jz is300 with a 94mm turbo with a Powerglide transmission and runs seven seconds on the track and if i build my car right i should be in the 9 second range.

Blog 19: Independent Component 2

LITERAL
(a) “I, student name Victor Gamboa, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 34 hours of work.”
(b) Mentor: Victor M. Gamboa basic mechanic and transmission builder for 18+ years for Young's Transmissions and DPA Transmissions. 
(d) Over the past months I have practiced doing hands on work learning and doing things on my own. Lots of basic maintenance like tune ups and part replacements. Getting familiar with more tools and boosting confidence working on  car. 
INTERPRETIVE  
Learned skills that no book can teach, hands on experience on real cars. Learning tricks and how components work, fail and why they fail. Observing what parts look like when they do fail and knowing how to prevent them from failing again. Basically get a car that is failing or to some people completely worthless and make it perfect again.  
APPLIED
Helped answer EQ because the "constantly win races" used in my EQ can only be solve by basic maintenance and constant inspection, and the only way to inspect and be able to maintain a car is to know what a good and bad part looks like. Also learn to replace parts that will be crucial in racing, and knowing how to substitute them is something very useful for the future.
