I never considered my self the ultimate sc freak but I guess I get thrown into the freak catagory when I deside to turn mine into a full blown track car. So after the 1jz, engine mods, all the suspension crap, cage, seat, nardi, fuel cell, orgin kit, wheels, and I still have to get it painted,,,i believe it's around 13k. You too can have a luxury car without the luxury, or interior.

update: I just hit over 12k because the fuel cell, lines, regulator, all of the fab work, and the cage ended up kicking my ars. Diff. goes in this week end then mechanically it should be just about done. Now all I have to do is paint it
But the results will be worth it...

My LCA bushing were shot and instead of replacing the busings I went with the Supra LCAs and it also included new ball joints.

When you buy your car for $16000 and your total investments in mods go well over your original purchase cost...... I agree with Ryan, Its time to stop keeping track. I no longer really want to know.

My SC was merely the base for the car I wanted to build, that is why it is no longer a SC400, but rather, a SC400TT. Lexus never made that car...But Ryan Allen has...
