I've got a spare motor in my garage in a billion pieces, im hoping to build it up w/ cp 10:1 pistons and run a GE head w/ GTE cams after doing a cam sensor mod. That'd get me on beast of a daily. I'm probably going to buy and rebuild an r154 as well. I think sooner on the agenda are the aristo engine bay brace (arrived today) and the 8k HID kit (arrived sunday). maybe a TT brake upgrade or if money falls from the sky, a bbk from ksport and ksport coils.

Hmm.. let's see, the list is long and complicated, considering the car is still sitting engine-less on my trailer.

Engine
-clean up the Aristo harness
-clean up the engine (Aristo)
-pick up a supra gte water pump backing plate
-install the engine on mk4 mounts and build intercooler piping
-fabricate intake piping and air filter box for the turbo
-clean up and install GReddy catch can
-install 3" stainless cat conv into the exhuast that came on the car, matched to my 3" v band dp
-supra mk4 gte fuel pump
-get fuel pump ecu working again (P.O bypassed it)

Interior
-pull various trim pieces and drop off for hydro dip
-reskin front Porsche seats in gray leather to match the rear seats
-condition leather on the rear seats
-refurbish/replace headliner and pillars
-install HKS boost gauge in custom console
-some type of stereo headunit to utilize bluetooth

Brakes and Suspension
-buy LS400 drilled rotors, stainless braided lines and some EBC pads
-paint and install my LS400 front calipers
-finally decide on a set of coilovers
-replace worn suspension parts where necessary (ball joints, LCA's, UCA's etc..)
-fit Volk GT7 18" wheels

Body
-install Aristo front bumper and foglights
-3500k HID foglights
-4300k HID low beam headlights
-trunk lip spoiler (painted)
-rear window/roof spoiler (painted)
-fender lips rolled to guarantee no rub
-OEM window visors
-legal tint all around
-whole car body resprayed in the Midnight Indigo Pearl she was born with

And the most important goal of 2015... finally get my boost fix

I have 90% of the parts to make this happen..all I need is time, and a little more cash.

Another goal is to sell this NA Turbo kit that was gifted to me on this car, which will help facilitate all of the above.

My GS is now at my mechanic and get some stuff fixed for 2015 like finally some tires on my bbs wheels and some maintenance.

I really want to get my car detailed in 2015 with a nice wax an buff.
And to debadge the Trunk an Install finally my Aristo Grill.
Ahhh and to install a Fridge and Cupholders in the Back

Only other plans are some BC BR Coilovers but i am not really sure if they will be as Comfy as the Original Shocks now

Thats my Plan for 2015.

Plans:
Match the rest of my car with LEDs as just finished the interior
Get a paint job on it
Coilovers
Adjustable links all around
Nice fitting wheels
Finish the bride bucket seat projects on stock rails (for electric sliding purposes, and since rails are impossible to find)
Make a build thread on here to look back on
Aristo bumpers/accents
Full LED tail lights

Maybe plans?
Hopfully not get the urge to take it to a drift event :|

joewitafro

As much as I want to drift my car I really worry about starving the bearings of oil and/or pressure. I don't think I will until I go with a scavenge system and dry sump. After the costs of my motor install I'm scared to lose it!

90S13

I picture it being really hard to starve a motor of oil from drifting, as long as your pump and pressures stay up and leaks are taken care of i dont see any reason to have the oil stop flowing throughout the motor. Now if you were going to go pro and had the cash then dry sump is the way to go! I mean i see stock 1Js and 2Js all the time at the track ripping it with no problem at all, but then there is nothing wrong with being cautious especially if a motor is fresh! I need to take a few pointers seeing as how my factory build isnt quite broken in yet ahah

AshyBone

We truely see eye to eye. There's one in Dallas that I'm seriously considering getting. Wants $1200 but he told me he'll take $1000 so I'm thinking about talking him down to $800 because of the bumper and lack of matching rear passenger tire.
