Thanks bro, i drove another SC that belongs to a member on here and i was shocked the suspension was very tight, and alot of other stuff.
So i decided to build mine from ground up.
Ali you know what i've been thru with my old setup, removing the tranny every weekend i am either replacing the clutch or trans tailshaft seal.
I am really trying to just enjoy my SC this time, i just wanna some seat time i am tried of wrenching haha.I have to go back to emissions, so i am keeping it simple till i pass then it's game ON.
Trying to stay away from Crankwalk, so i am saving for the twin or triple disc Clutch, it i get the clutch i will be 2jzna.
I maybe doing what we talked about but still not sure yet, still going back and forth.
So yes i am stock and Auto but not for too long.....

It's not permanent, lol i will be back shortly.
I might try the TT ecu till i get my E85 stuff, should be fun though. I am still trying to put the car back to stock really start to get frustrated with the Car it's alot of work.
that's one reason why i don't like messing with interior stuff, i love dealing with engine and drivetrain.

Update
Did a couple of things to the SC last night install the center console and the suspension.
Removed the sway bar links PITA ,i got the front off the rear i will have to cut them off.I replaced the rear Subframe mounts with the TT ones so i can run some tT rear sway bar removing the subframe bushing wasn't too bad maybe 30min.
Still waiting on the inner and outter tie rods, P/S pump and fan shroud, Driver side headlamp.
The SC should be done on Sunday, i will be picking up the wheels this weekend thanks Sherwin for the great deal .
Still going back and forth on the Turbo, help me make up my mind Precision, BW or Garrett

Thanks bro
You don't like BW Turbos? I USed to hate BW till i started learning about Turbos, they are built like tanks and i love the fact that it's V banded i don't like the 6 bolts style turbo they are pain to install.

Thanks man i like the color combo , car, wheels, and brakes.
Everyone on SF has a billet 6765 just different AR housing, it's a great Turbo don't get me wrong i just wanted to be a little different this time.
I really wanna try and see what 870 rwhp feels like , not really looking for 600whp...
"Ali SC3" i can't play around with 600rwhp anymore ,alot of HHP Cars are being built SCs , Supras, Porsches and Vettes so.....

I will post the pics once it's running i promise guys.
i tried to start it yesterday but i wasn't getting no fuel, unhooked the fuel return line and there was no fuel coming out fuel pump was running .
So there was no gas in the tank ...
Installed the 3 spoke wheel i had to deleted the cruise control because the clock spring was wrong but i didn't care.
the car will be running tonight afterwork, i still need to bleed the brakes, I just got the new P/S pump couple of minutes ago, So i will be installing the alternator, A/c ompressor, and P/S pump tonight.
