Bought a 5-speed today!!
Finally back in a 2JZ powered car! Picked up this 1993 5-speed, with 95k miles today! The owner "guessd" here on CL drove it down from Minnesota to Atlanta...a 19 hour drive!! He had the car all cleaned up for me and it looks great! A DaveH kit is soon to follow...this baby drives great...doesn't feel like a big car.
Here are some pics!

My impression so far:
1. Car is very, very easy to drive.
2. It's big and heavy, but doesn't feel like it.
3. Damn, these doors are huge!
4. It's smooth and quiet, just needs some spool!
It has just a couple of SC "traits", the door has the small crack at the top and the temp guage is going black, other than that it's in great shape! I have a long standing tradition when buying cars, they are always on empty, this was no exception! I kinda laughed when I saw the gas guage...
I was quoted 10 hours labor to install the DaveH kit, so right now it's 1700 + 780 labor, plus intercoolor and misc parts. I'm trying not to go buck wild right from the start but I miss the spool and the boost!
