Default the start to my sc4 project

its been a year since i posted on this forum and i have been up to a lot. well for starts i recently just bought a sc300 with a 1jzvvti swap done to it for 1k. I am not keeping the sc3 at all just wanted the motor out of it to put in my 400. now i know your asking why not just keep it and drive the 300. well because it has no front bumper no hood interior is really really bad and it has no title so its up for sale to someone that wants a project. well any way i still have my 400 and i plan on putting the jz in it instead.

the wheels are 18x8.5+15 front 18x9,5+25 rear. i never thought about doing a 1jzvvti swap so i will need a lot of advice on it. i have been talking to people so far and they have been giving me good advice. and the motor is at the shop right not getting that perform. would do it myself but i don't have the tools for it any more. really cant wait to build it

Let me know the final cost. I budget around 7K for my 1JZ swap into my 400, and I am getting real close to it. GL on your build and post pictures of your progress.

thats where the reall bunt of your price will be, is the damn manual conversion. i lucked out and got a w58 sc300 tranny for 180.00(40k miles). and iam peace mealing everything else. it won't be 7 grand but it is going slower than aids..
