Thats what i thought...but dropping 20k+ then hacking it up scares me. Plus i didn't fit too well in it. I would need aftermarket seats. I needed supra seats to fit comfortably in the sc400!

in my line of work with the huge projects and undertakings, we focus on small victories and milestones. I say get the R154 swap in first. small step from where you want to be but a huge victory right there

After talking with lindy (justchill) we came to the conclusion its the paint that bummed me out. I think im going to get rid of the 97 front bumper and go for a 95-96 bumper with wise lip. Then respray her onyx black or maybe another black. Fully polish the wheels and what not. I think having the car matt black looks awesome at night, but in the day time it just feels bland and unfinished.

Thanks all for the words of inspiration...I will keep her and finish the car.

Oh and plus i didn't fit in the sc430 all that well, standing at 267 and 6'4" i need a little more room than the sc430 offers. Gonna re do the steering rack, supra LCA and new front upper control arms soon. Then the focus will be POWER!!!

Winning outcome.
