sweet, so you guys over at slidestyle are working on learning the 1jz and 2jz-gte swaps into the sc right? cause i think there will be a few here in iowa interested in that and not wanting to take the car to chicago or kansas city, including me... also, how much did the parts cost for the 5-speed conversion?

Hey bro- sister lives in Center Point- nice lookn sc- curious about the swap as well-

SC_DRIFTER

We are looking in to getting more information on the 1j and GTE swaps. It's something we probably won't tackle until I go that route......which all depends on cash flow (which is minimal). Once we get more familiar w/ the SC and how it can be setup/modded I will post to let everyone know.

All my parts for my 5 speed conversion cost.....

W58 transmission (including shift linkage, slave, hardline, crossmember) - $500
Driveshaft - $100
Master Cylinder - $Free (included w/ the transmission when shipped)
ACT 6 puck clutch kit - $330
OEM Flywheel / PP / disc / hardware - $150
Greddy Traditional Shift **** - $30
OEM 5 speed Shift bezel - $55

Total - $1,165 shipped

The hardest thing to find was the OEM flywheel/hardware. I could have gone through the dealership but would of had to pay $309 for the flywheel and over $50 for the hardware.

As the 5 speed swap progresses I will make a write-up on how it goes. Step-by-steps are always fun.

Where abouts in CP? You come to visit often? Perhaps I may know of her? I've lived here for 23 years.......(all my life)

SC Drifter - I almost went with the Blitz Nur, but stayed with the stock-looking ovals, they look great though.

I do have several other things I want to do with the car, nothing cosmic (e.g, replace belt, flush tranny, replace the cats up front, etc..), but I haven't done this stuff on this car before and I don't want make a costly mistake anywhere. BTW, I also replaced my spark plugs (NGK platinums), plug wires (Bosch) and stock air filter replacement (K&N).
Maybe we should ransack SC Drifter's shop and make a day of it...whatch'all think?

BTW, what the heck is HIN, did I miss something?

wow those are really good deals- when do you have to let them know by?

SC_DRIFTER

Not sure. My parts dealer has them, but they are in limited quantities. Sooner the better I suppose.
