Just want to officially introduce a old member with a new driver(me). I recently purchased a 1jz 5spd swapped SC from a CL member RADSC. And it's mint. Thanks Rad for everthing and have fun with the little one because they grow up so quickly.

I am sure some of you are familiar with this car. Not going to do too much to it right now, but I do have plans.

Immediate Mods (over the winter):
Short shift Kit (recommendation for a W58 transmission?) CS Shift I heard was good.
HID conversion
Magnaflow Mufflers
Maybe upgrade to a FMIC,BV.
Rebuild the ceramics with sturdier blades.
Upgraded I.C.E.

Long Range:
Repaint (Same Color)
Maybe Coilovers
18-19" Staggs

Long Long Range:
Big Single or 2JZ (Single)
But I am only looking for a 350hp-400hp range
in power

The GS will be a Garage Grandmother for awhile.
Now I will have to get pics of the GX, GS and SC together. But for now here is the SC.




Now to figure out how to adjust to clutch pedal takeup. On with the search.

Forgot to mention that this will be my daily driver, so I can't do too much to take away the reliability.

Funny, the last boosted car I drove was a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker Turbo. Thie was in 1990. This is when I first started working with the federal government and it was owned by the Treasury Dept. LMAO!!!! It was JUNK!!!

Congrats Nate, it's definitely one of the cleanest swaps I've ever seen. Let me know when you ready to go single and get all the other stuff.
