No 5 spd for this one. I thought about getting one and almost did. My supra is a 6 spd. I honestly like the power band of the auto and will probably put in a built auto when it is time.

Super clean car!! The 2JZ looks great and the bay looks neat and tidy, which is always a great thing! Too many swaps look messy, dirty, and like a clusterf!ck under the hood, lol. Also jealous of that black interior!!

With the 10" Sub did you just mount it directly to the rear frame? It doesnt look like there is a spacer or anything? Did your SC300 have the Pioneer factory sytem? ALso did u mount the aftermarket amp to a piece of wood or just drill it directly intot he rear deck?

Great looking ride!!!

I had the nak sound system. I had to get two mdf rings made. That was probably biggest pita part of the job. I had to enlarge the hole since 10 in shallow is afull 10 in wide all the way. I had to shave the lower ring until I could get it to fit the deck. Then the top ring was cut square shape that I had to shape further and cut holes and used longer bolts. I assembled both together and added glue. Then dropped sub in. Then after that I was able to simply put the sub cover on by just placing it there. Process took me a couple of days and I thought about quitting. The sound is awesome and hits damn hard. Almost as much as my supra sealed jl 10w3.

The amp was easy. Cut wood and make some holes. Bolt wood first then amps. I used 1x4 galvanized metal I found at home depot. Wrapped that with black electrical tape. Used that to wire manage everything.

i'm so torn on rims... i feel like getting some but some days i want to stay 17's since fitment with that suspension is so tight but some days i want 18's... just trying to find used set for a good price that would actually fit.

Damn ya that is a process. I just picked up a Alpine type E Sub for the swap. It fits good with the depth and all I have like a 1' inch tops before I hit the gas tank I am just going to be a little fuzzy on the whole mounting the aftermarket sub back in place
