So far I have wheels and Tein coilovers on it. The current plan is to drop a 1JZ-GTE from a Toyota Soarer in it. I'm waiting on a clutch.

Excellent find, and in a manual trans! waht's great is that those cars share the same engines, the 2jz, as supra's, so those cars are great and easy to mod, build it up with a big turbo and you're ready for some crazy fun!

instead of that 1jz-gte drop in you should just build up the current 2JZ because it's a great platform that can be capable of 900+ horsepower.

1jz is plug and play with my car. The wiring harness is a direct match with all accessories. The major difference between the 1jz and the 2jz is the stroke. One is a 3.0 sequential turbo and the other is a 2.5 bi-turbo. Both blocks able to go the distance, but who wants that much power in a daily driver? The 1jz comes just short of 300 wheels. If I get it up to 400 with bolt ons I'll be happy.

Thats awesome... a friend of mine used to have the highest horsepower one on stock internals. I think he has been beat recently though. You can check out his page at: http://www.turbolexus.net/

Lives in my area, but now has a TT supra with big turbo upgrades.

pretty damn clean

since you're in AZ as well...curious how much you got it for?

I'm still in the air about keeping the tour or looking for a new ride at a car auction.

There are a few paint flaws that you can't see but for 12 years old it's pretty good.

I paid 7,000 for it.
