Default My new to me, SC300.

Hello everyone!

Just though I'd do a bit of on intro. Fairly new to CL. Just picked up an SC300. I've a bit of a learning curve coming from Honda, as this is my first Toyota. Going to use this thread to keep track of my progress.

Here's an incomplete list of some of the things I received with the car:

r154 5 speed trans w/ front driveshaft
TRD lsd
PT 6765 turbo a.r 1.08
4 in core intercooler
pt 1600cc injectors
50mm wastegate and tial bov
qtp exhaust cutout
greddy catback exhaust
nardi woodgrain steering wheel
nardi woodgrain shift ****
gates timing belt
2jz turbo rods and pistons
hks cam gears (purple)
new radiator
map ecu 2 (for tuning)
xxr 521 18's black
sport contact 2 tires
dual walbro fuel pumps
marlin crawler r154 shift forks, thrurst washer, rear main seal, shifter bushing

Plans for it are not too big at the moment. Main thing is just to get this thing running. The guy I picked it up from had it sitting around for about 3 years. I think it'll take me another couple grand to get it running.

No cash out of pocket. Straight trade for a Civic hatchback and crx shell.

Thank you, sir. I'm hoping not to have to drop too much money into it. But judging from other build threads and such, I don't think that'll happen. Lol

It was a 96 Midori EK, B18C1 w/ JRSC, built bottom end, etc. I also traded my stripped down CRX (which you can see in the background in the pictures above) also. Nothing special in that really, just a JDM ITR 5 Lug conversion on it. I think I got a pretty go deal out of it. Got rid of 1.5 headaches. LOL. Now I'm just left with 1 headache, more so just just learning Toyota stuff.
