I rode in it, it was awesome. I think Justin plans on rebuilding it after his current projects.

did it die in a crash or just gave up on it? sounds like he moved to a more cool chassis. i remember seeing it, then not anymore

It's not wrecked or given up on. The 1uz took a dump and he's working on two other cars right now.

This wasn't intended to be a philosophical discussion. I just thought it was a cool car.

Just gonna bump this, nobody has died yet.

That car morphed into this (and I really miss the 19" RP03s):

 

Then a few 1uz's blew up. I got, what I thought was going to be, a good deal on an LS build option so I parked the car for a bit. 

In the meantime the old X8 sat like this. For a long time. 

The whole LS thing unfortunately went sideways and I lost a lot of interest in the X8 and worked on other projects instead.

A 280z got restored and my UZ powered X3 was built. 

 

Recently I picked up another good condition X8, stripped old blue of everything of value, swapped it to the new car or put it in storage, and sold the shell to an acquaintance. 

 

 

who in turn did a chassis swap with his built X8 and now the blue car is back on track like nothing happened with twice the HP as before. 

 

I'm hoping to start another thread as I can make progress on my new X8 but that will be slow to come. Covid has cut off the ability to work other than what can be accomplished in my driveway a day at a time, but at least I can still get things done.

Wish the links weren't broken in Lucas' update.  But this was a hell of a nostalgia trip.
