Welcome to my new slightly .. welll 179,000 mile used car!

The Green Boat! Black at night..



So the goodies it has so far...


Alpine Mono to power a 8 inch jl sub that a built a bracket for the factory location.. Sounds awesome
Alpine 4 channel to power all four Polk speakers

Alpine Double Din Screen... OH THAT"S RIGHT!!! It's MANUAL TOO!

Coming in 2010.... This is what you'd always be seeing... when it goes for engine/tranny/turbo addition overhaul..

 

yeyyyyy

 

Nice, now all you have to do is turbo it and you'll have a semi-Supra.

 

sorta... Motor is getting pulled... low compression pistons in... new H rods, new head gasket, valve train. then turbo and all that jazz.

my Ideal goal is about 800 rwhp.

Aka.. what this guy has...( a friend of a friend)

I see, so you're doing a track only car?

 

might be a drift car...

for now.. it's going to be a big slow just relaxing boat to drive...

Definitely 2x slower than any 8... doubleGoose pulls away like a pudgy kid pulling a wrapper off a chocolate bar..frigging fast compared to me ...

too much weight... 3700lb's curb..

 

looks like its in great shape for 179k miles....keep us updated on the mods when you start em

 

Some night shots..

 

u got that wheel fixed then?

 

nice jack... congrats on the "semi" new car... lol

 

Jack! I'm PM'ing you my cell. Give me a call, got a question for you.

Nice project BTW

 

Nice DD.

 

lol..pudgy kid.

night shots! time to post mine up. lol

 

nice, congrats on the new project car.

 

drift that shiz for sure man!

 

nice ride waht type of engine does it have, is it the same as a supra???

GL in the project

 

nice making a Soarer

 

Not going to fully convert to soarer...


Supras came in turbo and non turbo

2jz-gte is the turbo version..
2jz-ge is the non turbo version

All sc300's stock come with the 2jz-ge

A common swap to convert to soarer.. is go 1jz-gte.
that's a turbo motor..

But I think I'm going to join the NA-T Sc300's and Supras...

Turbo a NA motor

 

So some of you guys might know... but started to mod the poop out of this luxury mobile..

Oh and Ted is moving in next door...

Air ride system, Wheels are getting refinished, and Body kit is going on.

Air ride went on and is about 70% complete.

 

Needs a new shifter... that one kinda looks like a *****...

Just saying.

 

yeah I agree... I can't even twist this sucker off.. I'm going to get this sucker off... and switch to something nice..

 

That air ride suspension is baller, I'll have to see it again when it's done!

 

hey jack how much does the 2jz-GTe motor run for??? my friend has the same SC300.. but hes thinking of putting in the big daddy motor...

 

$2500-5000
from importers

Almost all of them.. are supposedly from a low mileage car.. blah blah blah
and supposedly comes complete..

(I went through a couple swaps... always missing crap.. or something awful, like dented in oil pan, or random thing snapped and who really knows how much mileage is on it?
or the engine harness has a part cut )

But big daddy motor is usually worth it if you have over 5k to throw at it..

and he needs a tranny to match it.

I'm running into this problem.. so my high hp number might be out of reach for now.

I think just check compression.. if good.. throw a Head gasket on.. head studs.. and turbo the motor to like 10-15 psi instead for about 1800.

 

So... Here are alot of the updated pictures..

Rims are powdercoated...

kit is on... air ride is in..














Snug Fit for the rear... all the way down..



Front that's a shallow socket.. ( Cig box doesn't fit..)
