Very nice.
Any idea how much it weighs?

EDIT: One more thing. If he's trying to lose the max amount of weight, you should recommend that he lost the gas tank and opt for a light fuel cell.

VS4 - Actually, this is how the gold car previously looked. Its an SC400.
Black car w/ black rims is my car. I sacrificed the black wheels for the 1JZ.
SPORTcoupe - He's going for 2800 - 3000 lbs, he's not near completion yet, so who knows how he's gonna shave off that weight.
96sc3 - Bar in the trunk = 6 pt. cage
Thanks everyone for all the comments!

sc.Fred - A lot of bites, but no real buyers so I figure I'll just end up going with my original plan and swapping the motor. Here's a rear view pic of the exhaust, its a little angled, but more straight out than anything.

I wouldn't mind being associated with your association with the vertex lip through MJT's association with Steve's association with Ueno.
