Default DJ420a's build thread....SC #2

Well I guess its time to finally start myself one of these since things are starting to fall into place.

I got a 92 SC400 last year for free and decided to order a 2jzgte with an R154. The block has been at the shop for the past 9 months (sigh) getting redone with the forged goodies. Just finally picked the block up yesterday.

Long story short, 92 got T-boned 3 weeks ago and 3 days later, I picked up this 99 beauty.

It sits a bit high for my liking, so Ive been contemplating C/O's or spring/strut combo. Im really interested in the Megan Lux edition C/O's, but I cant find any real life opinions on them.

Well enjoy and soon here, I'll start getting my motor pics up on here

Sorry bout that...its an SC3. I did that in mind for my swap. It'll make it a lot easier. Most of the parts I needed for the SC4 are already here in this SC3.
