Just realized , I need to replace that damn dirty AC Compressor and Starter with one that I had already cleaned and painted. It won't take a while to replace them anyway.

Now that KBD body kits are officially doing the front bumper in poly-urethane and I have already ordered and paid for two .... soon Black Pearl and Red Mamba Two would have a similar stance to the cars pictured below . I hope KBD would do the side skirts and rear bumper in poly-urethane too but even if they don't .. the shine rear and sides wont be bad to use since the front bumper is the one that easily breaks due to humps / bumps , dips and dives on the streets.

It would have been a lot easier and definitely be safer if I had company to help drop the engine especially a V160 trans with the tripod is long.. needed help to position the tail ... but managed to do it alone.

The poly bumper is definitely hard to break. I have the Rideskinz Fujin lip in my 300, and because of how long these cars are, I have to pull up so close to the wheel stopper when parking forward so the back doesn't stick out in the road. Sometimes, I miscalculate the front lip, and see how much it bends when it hits the wheel stopper, and simply back it up like nothing happened. LOL

oh yeah , for now I will be happy just for it to be running. It has sat for a year . I hate to wait till I get the stroker setup completed to get it running.

yeah, it always happen when one is in a hurry . It is really a matter of time that a fiberglass lip / bumper will break.

thank you pare .. it will be cool to have a 1 of 120 with a 2jzgte / v160 combo . It makes it more rare .

thank you ... well I guess being 1 of 120 , it deserves a better drive train than the 2jzGE / W58. Hopefully one day , if everything will go as planned , it will have a more lethal engine setup never heard on an SC ... +1500rwhp 3.4l stroker . It is a wish for now and everything starts from a dream and can slowly be turned to a reality.


Today .. did some painting on the fan blade , radiator , fuse box cover and fan shroud . Will install them tomorrow when they are fully dry.

hahaha ... I know you will help but you guys are working during week days. When I want something done, I want it now , not waiting for the weekend . .


got my radiator , shroud , fusebox , coil cover , IC pipes painted .....The bell of the fan shroud I decided to paint with wrinkle today so it is still drying up and be wrinkled.. but once dried, I will paint that bell with glossy black so it will be shiny like the coil cover and wrinkled at the same time.


just trying to install small things and tidying things up now .. then I will concentrate on the wiring harness which I haven't started to work on .

Some similarities with Red Mamba Two ... I will install the body kits AC/Shine style from KBD on these two cars, lower them just like the cars in the pictures above since they are not high HP at the moment. They running at around 400rwhp will be good enough for now and make them look good cosmetically ......wishing this is how the SC300 came out of the factory so they are still valuable like the MKIVs even after 20 years since production ... 2jzgte with 6speed trans OR 2jzgte with built auto trans
