Well its been quite awhile since I've posted anything about my car(s) so I figured I'll show you guys what I've been up to since my original SC went down.
Hit a nasty bump or something and took out the oil pan, rack and pinion, subframe, and worst of all ripped the motor mount out of block taking part of the casting on the block with it which rendered the block useless. It seemed as if the front end had taken some structural damage as the fenders were hitting the door when opening and other small things. Overall the car was just absolutely beat to **** lol so I ended up stripping it down and having it towed away. (They gave me $40 for the car lol)

Bought another shell and transferred what I could right away then it sat for awhile and I lost interest.

Got a "good" deal on a 1jz with no accessories out of a junk yard in japan which ended up taking like eight months to come in. Did all the regular maintence ie: timing belt, seals, water pump before putting it into the car.

Install went smoothly but the car would just smoke like a freight train at idle, removed the turbos and did a quick fire up and no smoke came from the exhaust ports so we deemed it to be the stock twins.

Since the old car I've become a lot more financially stable so I decided to go ahead and go single
Bought a GTX3076r and a manifold from Supra Store

I'm shooting for a very reliable 400-450 HP, this will be my weekend drift car and am trying to build a setup that I can hop into on the weekends and beat the **** out of. Currently I'm saving/deciding what engine management setup I want to go with, leaning towards the AEM plug n play setup driftmotion has. Next will be buying all the other items to complete the single setup.
Got in on the group buy for the new Auto Couture front bumper so need figure out what skirts and rear bumper I'm going to go with. Hopefully next winter I will be ready to get body work and paint done cause the new shell has tons of dents and dings unfortunately.
Hope to be driving this summer

Figured out a pretty neat location for the battery in the stock 12 disc CD changer spot (I have proper battery hold down hardware, just not all there at the moment lol)

Went ahead and got in on the group buy for the rest of the new poly urethane AC kit and got it installed. Mocked up my old Blitz exhaust to see how it would look with it. I bought these tail lights off yahoo japan auctions for $80 shipped but they're in pretty bad shape lol.
