Yep. I sure like the sound of that obx exhaust.
I took her out on the road for a short trip today. She pulls very good from ca 3000 rpm. I didn´t push her hard. Still in a bit of a test mode. All in all I´m very happy with the result so far.
There´s a big difference with the correct gearing with the USDM tt diff compared to the auto tt diff as well.
stheodoreThis is such a unique swap...I've never seen someone go quite so far, and it's good fun! Fantastic job with your conversion!
Thank you Stheodore! I really appreciate your positive feedback! . I wasn´t sure that this conversion would work at first, so I´m very glad that it all turned out quite well. I´ve learned a lot during this build, and maybe the tread can be of help if someone wants to try something similar?
The Bastard is in storage for the winter now, so there´s no big updates to report. I´ve bought a euro scoop that I´ll install when spring arrives
gerrbAnders had really done well on this project.My hats off for him. What he did is not for the faint of heart !
It will even be better when he gets all the 97 body kit I am sending him. Looks like he has another project on the horizon with that body kit !
Thank you so much Gerry! I guess it will take 4-6 weeks for the parts to cross the pond and pass customs. Looking forward to a late Christmas gift .
. I do have a couple of new babies to look after:
The face lift body kit is for a black -95 SC400 I found in Germany earlier this year. The body and interior is in pretty good condition, but the 1UZ is finished , so I´m planning for a 2jzgte swap. I´ll start a new little build thread for her sometime next year
I´ve also purchased a black manual -95 jdm supra tt that I have in the garage right now. It needs some TLC. Both the V160 and the 2jzgte is leaking oil, but it runs good and have good compression numbers on all cylinders (150-160). It came with BPU (FMIC,boost controller/BCC, 3`´exhaust/downpipe) + stage 2 hybrid twins, I´m about do a LHD conversion on this one as well,but this time I´ll use supra parts from a crashed USDM car.
I know it´s off topic in this thread, but here´s a couple of pics of my new babies:.
I just read this entire thread and I thought my thread was intense. No comparison here. What a great job on the build. The only thing I think that would bother me, is the fuel gauge not working. I bet its the ground wire on the back of the cluster.

Thank you 1jzpwrd! Nice to see you back on the forum!
Your build thread helped me a lot when I did my first 1jz-swap. Thank you for sharing!
The fuel gauge actually works, but it´s not accurate. It shows ca 3/4 when I fill it up completely. Good enough for me . The tank was almost empty when I did the video and took the pictures.
Thread is 2+ years old. Inspiring. A 92 SC300 is my retirement toy. You put so much work in sharing this awesome project. So many details. Really impressive. Learned a lot about the SC from you. Thanks

Nice ... I always preferred the stock bodied MKIV . Their values are even higher when people see them with all stock body . And if I have to install a body kit , the only aftermarket body kit I will put on any of my MKIVs will be a TRD Wide body kit .
I only wished that I have the skills like you do to build dream machines like this... hats off to you, sir. I have a 95 that has been sitting in my garage for some time and just doesn't have the skills or means to restore it... This thread sure is an inspiration.

Thanks Gerry! Yeah I agree.. I like the early look better as well. OEM parts seems to get more and more popular. I guess It´s a sign that this has become a classic model, when people want to go back to the original look?
The interior of this car will never be OEM though

Thank you Sir! I´m glad if this thread can be an inspiration to others! I´ve learned a lot through my builds, but there´s still a lot left to learn for me. That´s the charm of it .
You have to wait for the right phase in life, when you have enough time and funds
Hang on to that -95 of yours!
