Default Not Another SC300 GTE Transformation

I have mostly been on here just selling parts. Well time to post pictures of where the parts came from.
Bought the car Back on jan 15th as a blown motor, uncared for car!
Then 20k and 4 months later i have a 2jzgte 6spd with 3.26 trd rear, supra brakes, supra roll bars, its80mm turbo, 96lb injectors, hks typer cooler, custom ic pipes and 4" turbo back exhaust(exit on the right )
Its running now but still working out the bugs and need to finish up the detail before really good photos come out when i get those bugs all fixed. I have to thank Dr Tweak from pheonix tuning for the harness conversion, jacks transmissions in colorado springs for the ic pipes and exhaust fab work. All other work was performed by myself at night and long hours.

That copper is a very nice contrast with the black.

I'd polish the throttle body though and paint the cold pipe going down the intercooler. ***Look at sig***

Thanx Guys. its not orange its copper :/

I had to paint the cold side installed since it was such a tight fit it trashed the powder coat

Power shooting for up and above my previous supra which was 856hp at 6000ft. That was with a 76mm ITS.

Very nice job. Reminds me of my build up.

Here's mine, just in case you wanted to see:

Wow I didn't know there were this many people from Colorado on here. I think I have only seen one other modded SC (probably whiteSc3). Great job on the build. Post more pics!!!!!
