Hey guys, just wanted to take a second to post and update on the winter project. It's a bit ahead of schedule, which is going to make it very difficult to not drive it until all the salt is washed away

Here is short little video we took tonight of the initial start up and some revs

For the most part everything seemed to have worked without a hitch. Only issue is a small leak at the fuel pressure regulator fittings, and that's it! Larry (Sound Performance) had an AEM map for me that was just right to start her up. Definitely needs some tuning, but that will happen in the spring.

Here is a list of the mods to date that I've done
GTE swap (98 US Spec motor)
6spd swap
rps carbon clutch
stock tt flywheel
stock tt driveshaft, modified by Toyomoto to fit the SC
6spd diff
SP71gtq turbo kit
SP fuel system (850injectors, twin intank walbro's (LOUD!!))
AEM EMS
FJO Wideband
HKS Super Dragger soarer exhaust (single)
Blitz boost controller
Greddy gauges
Volk GT-U's (18x9, 18.10)

Next up some body and interior mods.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET!

Nice looking engine bay.
Exhaust sounds stunning.

 

My god...

I can't wait to get a ride this summer!!!!!! Great work Chris it is amazing! That single exhaust is growing on me!

Wish we could get SOMEONE to make those carbon fiber wood replacement panels for us!!!! I NEED THEM NOW to get my interior back in!!!


Great work Bud!!!!!

 

how much did the toyomoto driveshaft cost you??

is it reliable? I mean is it stretched somehow, or did they add another link to it???

thanks
Ken

 

Congrats man! Your too many steps ahead of me now, lol. I better get to work.

 

Wow, very nice. Looks like someone is going to have some serious fun!

Looks good we are in the process of finshing up the gs single we are doing will post some pics soon.

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

I was so pumped about it last night, I had a hard time getting to sleep

Ken- toyomoto will fab the driveshaft for $300-$350, can't seem to remember. Lance basically extends the rear section and re-welds it together. As for reliability, we'll just have to wait and see I am a little concerned with it, but if it goes, I'll just have a one piece made instead.

Dew- I've got to see the pics of that GS!!!! Sounds like a sweet project.

Hey Chris,

Can't wait to see it this summer.

Chris

That is great man!!! Makes me long for the day that mine is done (about a month or so now) I wish I had money for the Contoure body kit ... does ClubLexus have layaway? Perhaps Lex would like to trade it for the wheels I have for sale in the classified section
