Thank you to EVERYONE that has chimed in!

This project has taken sometime to get to where it is today and it's about 50% completed. The remaining 50% will include putting everything back onto the car and getting it to run 100%~

As for a LS project, well.........let me put it this way, it's under way. Maybe along the lines of a JP body kit!

But our latest project right now is my brother's 1989 Toyota Cressida. Have a 1jz on an engine stand right now that we are prepping, but there might be a change of mind with a 1uz in the near future. Undecided, things change and at my shop, things change even before I know about it.

i have a new desktop background. that's an amazing garage. i love how your wheels and tires aren't drooping at all on the lift. can't wait to see the end result. that thing has come a long way and it is definitely something i'd like to see in person. one day i may come to you to duplicate the set up but change a few things to my personal liking. your ride is so stealthy and clean it is gonna kill on the street and on the show scene. stay in fl man, i don't wanna deal with you haha. if i see you at a show i outta just turn around and head home to cry! lol

Well.......another recent update -

At one point in time we were trying to select between the Titan Intake Manifold or the GReddy intake manifold. Well, we decided against both! We will be running the Driven Concepts Custom Intake Manifold!!!!

GReddy -


Titan -

As most of you can see, we are using the stock lower runners. Due to time would allow, we were not able to wait for the billet CNC machined runners that will be on the final product. My car is now running the prototype manifold for now!
