Default ( Project Rebuild - Wait till this baby is ready!) - engine starting teaser (p9)!
me and a crew have been introduced to build a project car, originally it was a 1jzgte sc300 , manual 5 speed. what its going to become is a 600hp 2jzgte show car.

my plan is to do things that no one has done with any sc300 (soarer) , any ideas is welcome

so far what has been decided is :
  • paint
  • wheels
  • body kit
  • hood
  • stereo
  • engine
  • spoiler

but there might be few things i have over looked and forgot about, for personal reasons i dont want to post specs of what exactly im putting on until done. but i will post pics instead

i have done wire tuck, fuse box relocation, battery relocation, about to shave the engine bay completely... etc

heres the pictures and ill keep you updated fo the next 2 months enjoy!!!









and what was in before:

I haven't seen a targa top SC as yet, but I have seen photochopped pictures of one; that would be a unique feature.

if the plan is to make this a show car...

then ya might as well shave the engine bay, and do a clean wire tuck. custom powder coated turbo intake housing/bov/piping doesent hurt either.

but question; Why not just leave the 1jzgte in the car, and rebuild it?

Further, why even make it 600hp if its just gonna be a "show" car???
