Default 1JZ300 is back!!!

Hey guys i know its been a while since ive been posting on here! Im still in italy and the reason is because ive been SOOOOOO down about my car!!!! it started acting up and wouldnt start for about 4 months!!!! no crank no power no nothing, i replaced the battery, the alternator and i didnt know what the hell was wrong!!! SOOOOO i said hell with it and brought it back to stock(electrically) and took out all my gauges and little things and now it runs so im back now!!

ALso, i will be coming back to the States in nov of 2009. My plans are to convert to 5 speed and totally tune the car to its highest potential. I just bought the big brake kit(LS400) and some brembo rotors. More modds coming soon! I plan on taking a trip to NY to get the tranny installed and tuned by Todd(rising_sun) again like before...pleasure working with him.

Well guys just wanted to say im back and cant wait to meet some of you at some meets!!! thanks again all of your for your support!!!

-Elijah

Why don't you just do the 5spd swap your self? It's not that complicated
