Continuing where I left off at Part 1 with this shot of the DriftMonkey 2JZ Silvia S15 sitting in bits, needing a little overhaul after last years bashing by Nomuken and Murata-san!

The car is completely gutted inside, as the interior is getting pimped in the near future. One key word: Stickers!

Here’s all the previous bits on top of the shelf. The dashboard will be treated in a full on sticker-bomb!

Next to the S15, a lonely 2JZ just sat on the floor. Is it broken? Is it for spares? Backup? Maybe it’ll go into a new car?

He has a reason to be smiling, with a Garret GT3582R a/r82 Turbo combined with a Autronic SM4 ECU, it sounds like a jet when given the beans.

All the DriftMonkey cars run luminescent yellow Ray’s Gram Lights, the Supra is no exception to this rule.
