Well had a change of plans with the SC , Got a good deal on a 2J , and I swapped out the old turbos for ones that didn't have many KM's on them , spent a little time trying to find a transmission for it and I am shocked what people are asking for them , so I did the next best thing . the trans still needs to be painted along with a few items on the motor it's self . I been replacing seals and i have a new water pump going on when it comes in


Started to pick up other items while I get ready for a single swap .

Just read complete build thread so far...you putting in relatively 'quick' work!! I wanna swap to manual, the W58's are hard to find here (and too expensive). Interested in the T56 to 1UZ you first had...can you give me particulars like where to source as well as the adapter plate. Is it much mod to fit? Will stock driveshaft modded to fit T56 work? Sorry for all ques., just seeking options for manual swap from whats popular but really expensive....Thx n I'm subscribed to your build thread!

I was thinking the same, did you throw some spacers on there?

They were supposed to be. Until I realized I needed 18's in order to fit the C6 break upgrade I plan on doing. So I'm shopping around for some ISX50 wheels to run as my winter wheels, or maybe even some cheap Varrstoens or something like that.

Well havn't posted much on here . last bit my SC took a hit for the worst . had to take it off the road and might be a write off . but with a end there is always a beginning , so i guess here is the new beginning











got lots planned , wont be putting huge wheels or slamming it , as the conditions for me getting this , my wife said that it has to be and stay road worthy or she'll have my ***** .
