Well, i've been lurking on here for over a year now and never created an account
so its time.

i'm getting started with just a build list and will add pics as i get them on the phone. i am mid build so many of you will get to watch it unfold

for starters,
engine:

• ge bottom end
• gte pistons
• gte head gasket
• arp head studs
• ge head(pnp)
• larger intake valves
• bc cams
• custom intake manifold
• ebay header(for now)
• precision 6777 bb turbo
• 1300 black ops injectors
• custom fuel rail

chassis

• custom built tube front end
• tein coilovers
• custom chassis struts and braces
• monsterservice 40mm front and rear fenders
• vertex front bumber
• don't know brand on side skirts
• work vsx rims w/ nito neo-gens
• homemade rear diffuser

interior

• corbeau seats
• nrg gold wheel
• autometer gt gauges
• removing everything tan because i hate it

again i will post pics later
right now i just finished installing the aem v2 from dezod
i removed all of the pedals to aid in my manual swap and am going with a floor mount setup, its just so much easier, cheaper and cleaner than getting the oem clutch/brake from toyota
i've done a complete wiring tuck and put the fatory ecu under the dash, and the aem replaced the factory passenger air bag.


i'm piecing together parts for my ar5 swap. i went with the colorado trans, and as some of you may know the shifter is too far forward. being and engineer by trade, i'm working on a mounting bracket to move the shifter further back to the stock location, i've got my inspiration from the t56 swaps in mustangs.

stay tuned for progress and current pics

Welcome from coming up from a lurker!

This sounds like it's going to be one awesome build already.

Quick note though, am I trippin' or should this be moved here:

IS - 1st Gen (2001-2005) Build Threads ?
