Sorry gang, I can't load pics right now... My computer crashed, and I am having some software problems...I hope to have it all resolved tomorrow.

Update:

1)The turbo compressor housings came back looking like mirrors...very nice work.. I have pics, but can't download them due to software issues...

2)The axles are back, and look brand new... The are built, so they are made to handle 800-900 HP at the wheels...The guy that built them, modified them heavily, and they still fit the stock rear diff...

3)My WideBand came in...

4)I am now an owner of a V160 6-speed Getrag transmission...

5)The second Walbro 255 fuel pump is in...Both were being installed today...

6)Additional AN fittings and steel braided lines came in.

The car will be running next week...

FINALLY! We all have been waiting as patiently as possible! Finally the end results is coming! Its almost like counting down to new years! Can't wait to see this up and running. GL on the tune and first start!

By the way, the 1uz shares the same bolt pattern for the tranny as the 2jz?

Are you getting a wider rear rim to accomodate wider tires up back to deal with the massive tq/hp? If not, you should consider it at least.

Alright Ryan

This caccoon stage of the project is FINALLY near the end. As you know know and will continue to discover a project car is always a work in progress. Enjoy each step of the way and the knowledge that comes with it. It can be amazing how much a person learns about themselves when they decide to trailblaze.

See Ryan in the dictionary under the word relentless.
