    This week, Jack has a hankering for something 2JZ-powered. While we can't get any turbo JDM legends like a Supra or a Soarer, we might just find the deal of a lifetime and overpay healthily for a 2JZ with nearly a quarter of a million miles on it.

Needs some work done but it's an old high mileage car. Wouldn't trade it away for anything. Super reliable & super comfortable cruiser.

    A lot of people don't know or understand there are 3 different 2JZ. 2JZ-GTE, thats the Twin-Turbo that will handle 800hp without opening the ebgine. And then x2 2JZ-GE. With VVT, and without. Without VVT it'll handle 600whp. Lexus IS300/GS300 got with VVT. Those will handle 350whp, max 400whp but on borrowed time.
    THE BLOCK will handle more, but the rotating assembly won't.

    Not a 2JZ (there were 1JZs in Japan) but as far as a cool JDM car AND a Supra goes, you cannot beat the legendary 1986.5-1992 MK3 Supra.
    Not sure how many are in the UK for you guys, but it's become my favorite car. The looks are absolutely stunning inside and out, with some mods it handles AMAZING, RWD, the best seats ever made, custom parts scene, even though they have spiked in value they are still quite affordable, and most of all: It's a Supra.
    Never get tired of driving mine and I'll keep it as long as possible, that inline 6 is just amazing.

    You would be amazed how much better the exhaust sounds with just the factory headers and resonators. I removed the rear mufflers on my GS over a year ago and custom made some rear pipes. These NA 2JZ’s can sound amazing with a little bit of work. Also from the exhaust sound of that car it sounds like it is in a limp mode. Typically you can hear the VVT-I kick in pretty aggressively, that did not sound like there was any VVT-I. These engines will turn off the VVT-I and pull a lot of power when there is any major transmission or engine control issues. Probably a VVT-I solenoid failure or a transmission solenoid/sensor failure.

    You did great, barely avoiding the total senior citizen-mobile that would have been the other, "sensible" car... No man over 85 would drive arround in something sounding like that - proper job!

    This is first video I have caught with only you two chaps, and want to give this analogy: you three were the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich- now without the peanut butter. Now, you have just a jelly sandwich, which is great, but determine what type of bread and jelly the sandwich is made of. 🍇 🍓 wheat rye white- cheers

    The next line of sorted after cars, I think, will be "rebadged JDM" like how the ford Laser is actually a Mazda 323 with different bumpers and a ford badge, or "Holden Apollo" and "Toyota Camry"👌

    We need Edwin in as a replacement for Alex! He's great in front of, and behind the camera, he works well with Jack and Ethan, and he knows his mechanical stuff as well!
