Default My SC Project






This is how the car sits as of right now one if not both of the turbo's are definitely dead and will be coming off, I might fix the turbo's that are on the car and drive it for a while before going single since the car came with replacement stock turbo's. However I have everything except for a turbo and something to tune with to go single turbo so I may just spend the extra money now buying the AEM and the Turbo needed. Exterior is nice enough although I think it is a maco paint job it's a well done maco paint job and I will wax and clay bar it soon.

There are some little nick nack things that need to be taken care of I need a translator for the tach signal to make the tach work. The front seats aren't all that great and are going to be replace with what I don't know but the seat covers that are on there now have to go. The a/c doesn't work because the lines that are needed were not on the car but came with a purchase so that's a priority to get it up and going again can't have a classy car w/o ac. Like most lexus vehicles it's age the climate control LCD is pretty much useless but they are cheap on Ebay.

Got a pretty long road ahead of me but should be fun and at the very least different.

Borg Warner S372 has been acquired local guy had one that made 950hp on an evo on the dyno then the turbo was pulled for something a little smaller. Got this thing cheap so one last thing to worry about i'm stoked.

Yup I'm sure of that but that's ok it's a little big for my immediate goals but fits right into my ultimate idea of what this car is going to be.

Eh I don't know if I want to do meth it'll be at least a year before I worry about that and tell the truth after using E85 in my DSM that's probably the route i'll go.

Yeah the fat man left me with quite a bit of work both under the hood and in the interior it needs some serious TLC.
