Haven't posted on the forums for a while and i have documented my build since day one, mostly started the thread for personal documentation but I'm always open to someone's 2 cents. Don't hesitate to post your opinion/s and/or question/s . The thread will be updated according to interest from the community. Thanks for looking!

Went to a Subaru dealership to see a g35 coupe and a kouki DWP sc caught my eye. I told the salesman that I wanted to see the SC300 instead, immediately i found myself knowing more about the sc than he did. No its not a v6 its an inline 6 After realizing that it had many options offered from factory I asked my dad what he thought about the car and was told to wait. Once the waiting was done the sc was the purchase made(05/2008). I kept the car stock for most of the first two years but got bit by the mod bug hard last winter. I can dig up pictures from this period if anyone wants but I'm going to try and skim through the beginning stages without forgetting much.

I started out buying a compustar alarm with remote start and optional turbo timer with plans to eventually boost. To hold me over while I gathered my kit I installed a Cusco front JZA80 strut tower bar and a GS300 intake off ebay.

I proceeded to complete a tsx retrofit with an epic fail at de-lining the projector portion. Shortly after i scored some yellow projectors and retrofired them into my fog lights.

The oem spoiler did not grow on me so i purchased a veilside spoiler with poor results ending in a return and purchase of a cleaner lip spoiler.

scored ls400 brakes with rotors and pads off SF along with supra tt wheels locally to accommodate. Also found someone to 3m tint the window 15% all around.

 

installed the fans and radiator + cap. Thanks to scottURnot i sourced a relay with a 180 deg trigger to spark the fans to life. moved onto my second set of custom made clear corner markers as well.

 

90k service time with HKS cam gear along with supra TT water pump. Supra tt brake calipers, slotted rotors and toyota pads. big trans cooler for my spirited driving along with a spal 7inch pull fan mounted

 

stock piled parts and lowered on tt struts and eibach springs

 

changed diff fluid after fail attempt to swap lsd in. Supra tt front and rear sway bars. rear tt sub mounts. Thanks to camberSC I gots me some axle backs. Thanks to turbodremz I installed a supra tt PS pump with greddy pulley. also installed a unorthodox water pump pulley. Having trouble uploading pics they keep failing, too big? whateeyyva...
Megan racing is300 downpipe made for a bad situation for my o2 sensor on throttle as you can see......

 

header from a local supra owner who sold it a while ago. more of the is300 DP after it got raped and patched with additional support and some of my very poor welding (first time) for the MP back. random 3 wheel shot

 

pushed the motor away from the trans. bottom took a toll from being low maybe i should put some support..

 

RMS leakage. used a pocket screw driver and took 15-20 minutes wedging it out all the way around from the OUTSIDE. did not touch the crank. i did tap it to get it to pop out a bit but it is not recommended. flexplate to the side and all bolts + ring.

 

moved the trans to the side. installing the RM be careful make sure it sits flush as possible all the way around. you can see the grease I applied on the inside.

 

SKeeeeeeeeetttcchhhy \. i have had bf good brake lines for 2+ years and probably half that on a 5-speed( no problems on 5 speed).

Leaking puddle led me to look at line. I tore this to shred with my bare hands.....




2 more to clear and that dam lights off

 

Schinobi, it's amazing what you'll find when we start rebuilding our cars? Glad you discovered the broken motor mount before it was too late. Thanks for sharing!
