This is a lot longer than the usual uploads but Tom has put an immense amount of time and effort into this build and the outcome is fantastic! Let me know what you think!
Wow Tom you are so talented and should be very proud of yourself. Not seen another like it: Remember when you first got it and the build is unreal . Immaculate 🤩
Thanks I appreciate that it’s taken a while to get things back in check with all the time out and mismatched content but I’m happy with things at the moment
Great Project. I am working on mine now. I am installing a s20det s15, ford 8.8 differential, 4 link. However, it is a challenge because I live in Florida but I have my car in Costa Rica. So, no much time available to work on it...Great working skills.. Cool...
Gotta give mad respect to Tom not only for doing this whole thing on his own and it actually turning out great but the fact he wants to drive it hard and not just keep it in a garage like some people do! Nothing more lame than having a car that you are scared to use
@@thedownshiftchannel you got so much projects and all are amazing I love watching your videos and they more regular now so it’s sick because every video has a car we all love. So I’m gassed to see how they all come along. Keep it up bro 😎
I've been waiting to see an update on this. I've got a little 1200 coupe so I love seeing what other people come up with, especially when it's executed so well. Much love from Australia!
I think anything like this in mass production would be super expensive and niche but it works for the likes of Alfahokics so there is definitely a space for it
Hey guys, I'm building a 1200 ute here in AUS and to be able to get a 2.0L turbo engineered and registered I need to convert the rear suspension to 4-link or subframe. I was wondering if Tom might be up for sharing his CAD for the the pushrod bracketry and rear cab frame rails? It'd save me time having to draw it all in Solidworks myself, I'm a fabricator by trade and have lasers etc at work to use. All good if it's a no go, figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Love the channel and thanks =)
Tom I need your help. Would you be willing to fabricate a set of the motor mounts you made for your K24 swapped Sunny truck? I’ll pay cause I’m in the US and going to attempt to do what you did to your Sunny.
It would be cool but to be honest the extra power really wouldn’t make much of a difference with the weight and gearing it will already be really quick and the extra would likely leave you backing off or scrambling for traction

never known anyone like tom who can turn his hand to pretty much anything and it ends up being mint, legend 😎
Yeah I’ve got mad respect for Tom it’s really the hours and effort he puts in the 99% of people just wouldn’t have the dedication for
@@thedownshiftchannel proper wish i had his motivation. One stripped bolt and i’m prepared to deploy claymores and swan dive into them inside car
@@nomessininc. HAhahha the red mist
Video wasn’t long enough, want to see more 😂 Toms a genius. Can’t wait to see it in person
Yeah this really only scratches the surface on a colossal amount of work and detail! There will be more to come!

This looks absolute stunning. Big respect for Tom and this build, will be great to see it when he's fully complete.
At toms work rate it shouldn’t be too long and there will be a couple of videos once it’s complete
This thing is absolutely mental! Anyone looking at this can see the time and effort and massive cost that’s gone into building it!
Oh it’s really mind blowing! All three of those things are a serious commitment
Wow Tom you are so talented and should be very proud of yourself. Not seen another like it: Remember when you first got it and the build is unreal . Immaculate 🤩
👏
This is absolutely fantastic! The channel has been so much better recently keep up this kinda stuff. Tom deserves massive credit for this build too!
Thanks I appreciate that it’s taken a while to get things back in check with all the time out and mismatched content but I’m happy with things at the moment
Tom the man we all aspire to be
He’s a dedicated and talented man just don’t tell him I’m being nice to him

Totally agree he’s really built something special and the only way to celebrate that is to drive it!
@@thedownshiftchannel can’t let a good car go to waste!
Tom has top tier tekkers!
Lovely stuff 👌
Absolutely! The man has talent
Can't wait to see it done! Absolute work of art! A dream build of mine.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the end result too it’s stunning so far!
That’s so sick bro I didn’t even know you had that bad boy. I’m looking forward to seeing that one.
Thanks bro it’s really a work of art it’s had so many hundreds of hours put into it!
@@thedownshiftchannel you got so much projects and all are amazing I love watching your videos and they more regular now so it’s sick because every video has a car we all love. So I’m gassed to see how they all come along. Keep it up bro 😎
That definitely sounds better than I thought it would.
I’m looking forward to hearing the full load pulls to see how it really sounds
@@thedownshiftchannel same!
You are lucky that you are not too far from him (until he moves) I will have to do a road trip if I want to see it in person 🤣😂
@@DinosaurJuiceCars yeah I’m only 10 mins away so hopefully as it comes together can keep people updated
hes done a good job our tom
Gotta love the little lad don’t you
@@thedownshiftchannel deffo man. hes done a great job
I've been waiting to see an update on this. I've got a little 1200 coupe so I love seeing what other people come up with, especially when it's executed so well. Much love from Australia!
Final finished video should be in the next couple of weeks!
Plexiglass rearend cover would be cool
That coulda been something different. The car is now gone and toms onto the next one
A shame there weren't more videos on the progress, would love to see how you did the pedal setup and under dash master cylinders
Toms progress was hard to keep up with as there was a lot going on at the time so unfortunately some key things were missed
I don't know anyone who has the bredth of mechanical ability as Tom, may as well start his own car company
I think anything like this in mass production would be super expensive and niche but it works for the likes of Alfahokics so there is definitely a space for it
I wish i fit in these Sunny's. 6'4 problems
Same dude they are awesome but it’s just impossible

Thanks I will ask Tom if that’s possible if he still has the files
@@thedownshiftchannel Wow did you manage to share CAD
Question, what tire size are you using? Thank you
I will check but the wheel is a 14 and the R888 size is no longer available
Can we please get a video of the finished truck?
Please check through the channel there is a finished driving video
@@thedownshiftchannel I found it, thanks. It just looks different with the graphics.
Tom I need your help. Would you be willing to fabricate a set of the motor mounts you made for your K24 swapped Sunny truck? I’ll pay cause I’m in the US and going to attempt to do what you did to your Sunny.
Il pass the message on but I don’t think it will be possible as he no longer has the car and it would be very difficult without having them in hand
What kind of transmission your running?
Modified RX8 6 speed
What size tires are you running
Just need to put a supercharger on the k24 & that'll make it perfect !
It would be cool but to be honest the extra power really wouldn’t make much of a difference with the weight and gearing it will already be really quick and the extra would likely leave you backing off or scrambling for traction
what gbox use man
Modified RX8 box
Oh boiiiii
Yeah boiiiiii
Dude, do you still have your R34?
He does still have it but there wasn’t really any reason to make any content as it was always garaged so we stopped
@@thedownshiftchannel Man the car is a gem, would love to come for a ride with you guys in it sometime! Ofcourse if you'd let me haha.
🎉
😍
Thanks
What do you do that...you can afford all this and also have the time lol.
Engineering
@@thedownshiftchannel fair enough.
It’s basically having two full time jobs building a car like this alongside working full time so it’s extremely consuming of time money and mind space
damn boy, u short af 🤣 wis u wur a lil bit talla'
Hahaha
