Default New Guy intro

Well, not so new, been on the board for a while. But I figured that since I was waiting on only a few more important pieces I would go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Ryan and I live in Calgary Alberta Canada. I drive a silver 1999 GS300. I'm in the process of gathering all the parts that I need for a 2JZ-GTE VVT-i swap.

Installed Modifications:
Pioneer AVIC-Z2 with iPod and Bluetooth.
Clarion 2 ch. amp powering factory sub.
Tein front and rear strut tower bars.
Tein EDFC (although not currently hooked up)
GReddy full auto turbo timer.
Optima red top battery.
HKS Hi-Power exhaust (although for sale as I am upgrading to the Fujitsubo Legalis Super R.)

Modifications: (waiting for spring and the snow to melt )
JDM 1999 Toyota Aristo V300 2JZ-GTE VVT-i
GReddy T-78 full turbo kit.
GReddy 3-row R.spl front mount intercooler
No pics yet. still waiting for that to come from Japan. . . . .
GReddy oil filter relocation kit.
Same as above. . . .
GReddy #8 iridium spark plugs. (yeah I know I could have just bought NGK, but why?)
Twin TiAL 50mm silver aluminum blowoff valves. (that's right 2 2 2 times the fun)
KOYO TT supra aluminum radiator
BLITZ 13 row transmission cooler
shipping with the intercooler and relocation kit.
SARD 265lph fuel pump, rewire kit, 850cc injectors, JetPump killer, Silicone radiator hose kit, Type R fuel pressure regulator.
Only pics of injectors and hose kit.
-8an feed and -6an return stainless fuel lines with aeroquip fittings.
HKS cam gear (ex. only) and super fine timing belt.
HKS F.con VPro ver. 3.24 with plug and play harness Boost pressure sensor and IAT sensor.
HKS knock amp and wideband sensor.
Waiting for this part as well. . .
HKS mushroom filter.
TT supra front and rear brakes with stainless lines, slotted rotors and hawk pads. (these need to be cleaned up. . . )

That's all for now, I'll probably post some more pics when the rest of the stuff comes in. Thanks for looking, Ryan
