Hey, I was looking into doing a Turbo SC300 as well, as I don't have one yet, and am looking for a car to do this on, what should I look for?
I want to get an automatic (will it hold?) Is one year better than another? And how much does that toyomoto kit run?

i have missed this latest stuff......Toyomotos old sc300 auto went 11s on the stock tranny with a shift kit...you can also stuff supra auto internals into the lexus tranny with enough cash.....so the stock 5spd will hold 12s...the stock auto will hold 11s...now how long and how good of shape its in will determine alot......both are very solid.......the car is a very solid platform to start with.......but you will need $$$ to go for 500+rwhp

Jeff...can you hook me up with wherever you were getting the 5-speeds for $500? I just know I'm gonna kill mine right off tha bat, and I don't have $6k to invest in the 6-speed/LSD swap at the moment....

compwiz, just look in those places mentioned; and check the importer places that import junkyard pieces from japan...
ask for a W58 transmission
and the 6-speed swap shouldn't cost $6k if you do the labor yourself
