Great looking car, looks like you picked up a Vorga there!

I'd also be interested in how much the swap costed you, and if everyone is having throttle issues, why not use the non VVTI 2JZ, as it doesnt rely on drive by wire?

Amazing car though, just freakin sick.

doesn't take long at all. id say if you work on everyday for a good amount of hours, then it can be done in a week. probably the things that might take a little long is exhaust fab and intercooler piping. Its not so bad. Ive been running for weeks now, but i haven't had time to get it to the tuner and such

Great build. Awesome looking IS. Can't wait for updated pics of how the BRIDES are incorporated into the ride.
