Default The fun begins tomorrow... wish me luck!

Just picked up a nice shiny frontmount and an ACT 6-puck... as of tomorrow my 1JZ swap will be started, and should be done by Christmas. I still have to go finish extending the wiring harness before I drop the engine off at my mechanic friends house... so much running around but it will be worth it!

Unfortunately yes, I will be running it with the w58 with ACT 6-puck sprung clutch. Whenever that tranny decides to give out, I'm going to have my r154 out of the Supra ready to be swapped.

sounds good... it works fine with the 1J. but the R154 is stronger.

Lol yeah... let me know if you're ever up in Cleveland. There is some red turbo SC300... I don't think he's on here, but he's on my MySpace friends list. He's about 30 mins from me and wants to meet up and have some fun boosting around in the SCs this summer.

Update: Worked on the wiring all through Friday night, then pulled the car in and just kind of stared at it for a while. My mechanic friend seems like he's in love with SCs and wants to buy one when he gets his income tax check... if he does, it will mean good things for everyone on the board... I can tell he has some big ideas for my car and SC's in general

Took a break for the Christmas weekend... we'll probably get back to work tomorrow
