We don’t think much of the Lada Riva these days, but many people out there hold this economy car in high regard; Bulgarian tuner GB Design even offers hand-crafted restomods of the damn thing. However, some people go the extra mile by cutting the firewall to shoehorn a 2JZ-GTE from a fourth-generation Toyota Supra in the engine bay.
A few years back, almost every other weekend would find me attending some international drift event, where I would often get to see paddocks filled with up to seventy drift cars. And I had grown accustomed to seeing 2JZ swaps in Nissans, BMWs, and sometimes other vehicles as well. And seeing a 2JZ swap is always exciting.
