Default In with the new...

oh snap:

Looks messy, but its actually cleaner and the wires are hidden better then on my other 1jz car. V2.0 has all the upgrades and pre-repairs learned in the last 6 months of daily driving v1.0 installed so it will be just as reliable.

New waterpump, new timing belt, new spark plugs, new supra TT radiator, new motor mounts, toyota thermostat, and a little secret with the main ECU lines to where there will never be a problem with the knock sensor wires.

Now that this is my 2nd swap, it went SO much easier knowing exactly what your doing. I took my time re-routing the vacuum lines and ECU wires so you barely see them. Looks cleaner then OEM.

I got this whole swap thing down to a science and i think i might open shop, charge 6k total for a sc300 auto swap, includes everything that ive done to this car, including powderocating.

Im taking my time doing it, but if your in the CFL area just holla if u wanna stop by the shop
