This car will always be one of the top SCs on this forum, no doubt !
I don't mean to take away the opportunity of Dmitry being able to sell the torsen LSD from his 6 speed diff once he installs his trd on his pumpkin but for the info of those not aware and there are no future mis-understanding between members of our forum
which for us mods make our life easier 
:
You cannot install that 6 speed torsen LSD into any other pumpkin except the Supra MKIV 6 speed pumpkin which has a 220 ring gear. I don't know of any other diff pumpkin available where you can install it. So without that MKIV 6 speed pumpkin it is literally useless for anyone.
Sorry Dmitry
, my friend, got to say it so we all avoid future problems and mis-understandings.

Most of the stuff is for sale.
Valve covers, intake, cam gears, USDM cams, USDM fuel rail and USDM 550CC injectors, pressure tank, intercooler and all plug and play piping for stock twins for SC, a bunch of sensors (Turbos and all piping as well but I believe I have a buyer for it already), oem oil pump with 6k miles.
Block is also for sale, want to keep that for local pickup only for now.

I remember like it was yesterday when this car was complete with the V160 install and the 4K pictures uploaded of the progress. And now this....
I love the way you have focused on the continued efforts to build and impress all the SC owners on here.
Words of encouragement...... Keep up the good work and upload more pictures. I don't even have an SC anymore, but threads like this, makes me want to continue to check back often.

A few years ago, we replaced the lower control arms around the entire car. Front has MKIV TT lower control arms, rear is OEM Lexus.
So far these past few weekends, we have replaced the front upper control arms with new OEM Lexus ones, replaced the OEM wheel studs with ARP extended studs, installed the new KW coilovers, and replaced all rear parking brake assemblies with new OEM parts.
Next week should drop the rear subframe to remove the diff, remove everything off the subframe and replace every bushing with new OEM parts and or OEM TRD parts, as well as replace rear upper control arms.

Nice update man! I want to grab some extended studs too, where did you get them?
Also good to see you have gone with all new bolts and washers for the rear suspension. I did the exact same thing when I put my rear end together

Roman / Dmitry - I bet you have at least $60k on that car to date without even labor costs since you guys are doing majority of the work. Well, that is just my guesstimate based on what I spend on my cars.
Excellent job guys on how you have been transforming this car to where it should be.

I got the ARP extended studs from MVP Motorsports.
