I hope not. I don't think i'll be selling this one any time soon. I missed all of my boosted JZ series cars, so I had to get back into the game.

Its a good one. I had an apexi on my last boosted SC and it sounded really nice. And I had a carbon TI on my NA car. That wasnt bad at all.

Not really setting my goals too high on this one. I think thats what my problem is. Or part of it anyways. Its going to be BPU for a while. Gonna try and make it decently nice first.

Yea, it was the one in ATL. I basically threatened him with his life not to sell it. Lol. I had to wait a week to get it too. He stayed in full contact with me...? He also worked really weird hours. Like he got off at 12AM every day...it was weird. But no-not a mistake

I hope I don't. But if I do, I will be making money off of it, which is what I do with these cars. There is only one I regret selling and that was my turbo GS. I miss that thing...but thats in the past and hopefully ill keep this one for a while. At least keep it and get something else to flip!

That new spruce mica on the camery's is a hot color, probably the nicest green I've ever seen.

Can't say im much of a green fan. I think the car is going to stay all flat black for right now. I like it flat black actually, so at the moment it doesnt bother me, but it will get painted.

So I got my exhaust done today. I got 3" DP back. It sounds amazing. I also got a bung welded on today so I can put my new wideband sensor in. That will be happening tomorrow. When I got home from doing the exhaust I painted the rear bumper. I have to say for rattle can it came out decent. I really like the car, and drove it all over today. Just needs a new clutch!!!! Can't wait to get that done. ACT HD pressure plate is supposed to be in tomorrow. We shall see.



Plans for tomorrow:

Put in wideband sensor

Change coolant with Toyota Red coolant

Replace thermostat

Get Work wheels

Maybe wash it...who knows.





Pics from exhaust work:

For those of you wondering what fenders these are, they are D-Max 25mm fenders. I don't only know of 2 sets of these in the US. His and mine. Get this project rolling brother. And what's with exhaust shops not putting a proper angle on the Hi-Power muffler? Just looks like a typical fart can straight out.

2k is what it cost to buy the engine and get the harness extended! Good find!
