Well if I had an unlimited budget for my SC I have a few things I would like to do....
1. Either a fully built 2JZGTE Swap with Fully built Getrag and rearend or a Fully Built twin Turbo'd 5.7 tundra motor with custom adapter for the getrag.
2. Widen the body.
3. Design my own set of wheels.
4. Redesign the whole interior.

Basically if I had unlimited funds to spend solely on an sc I would make it into the 2015 version of what an sc should be and look like. The car would be new from the ground up.

But if I had an unlimited car budget. I would buy 3 of each of my dream cars. 1 to keep stock and collect, 1 to drive around modified, and 1 to have as a racecar.

1. 93-98 Toyota Supra TT 6speed
2. R34 Skyline GTR
3. R33 Skyline GTR
4. 93-98 Mazda RX-7 TT
5. 88 Toyota Celica AllTrac Turbo
6. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo III
7. 2000 Porsche 911 Turbo
8. 2000 Chevy Corvette Z06
9. 95 Toyota MR2 Turbo
10. Acura NSX
11. Acura Integra Type R

and some nice wheels of course.

I would do the following:

-Swap in a Mercedes W220 S600/S65's bi-turbo V12 with the automatic transmission
-Air suspension setup
-T's Project body kit
-19" Junction Produce Scaras
-Brand new black interior with a PS3 hooked up
-Custom 2000 taillights
-Expensive black paint job with pink flakes
-Pink Rotora BBK
-Vertex front fenders
-Painted carbon fiber doors, wing, trunk, and hood

I would also buy a second SC with anime/video game characters all over it.

Default I would pretty much do what I have been doing on it for the past 5+ years...

As I noted above, what I have been doing anyway. I think I would look into remaking the body panels out of CF, plus I would probably shorten the car up just a little bit, and that would probably do it. I am still finishing it up, but you will see no wires in the cabin within the next few weeks. Then after the successful next tune, I will work on the custom interior, and then finish up the paint and body, then have the custom wheels made...so, I kind a don't have a budget on this project anyway...

If I had unlimited funds to spend on my Soarers...

Series-III JZZ30:
* Built 1.5JZ VVTi w/ Garrett GT35R, V161 and B03B diff good for 350~400rwkw on pump fuel... while making it look all incognito (near factory positioning for everything including GT35R under modified original heat shield). I'm actually considering doing this while it's off the road. Or Twin turbo LFA engine.
* Full suspension rebuild with HKS Performers (already have, or switch out with Aragosta's), Selby front and rear swaybars, new genuine front and rear control arms, custom 6 and 4 piston BBK with ceramic discs (currently work in progress besides the BBK which is way out of my price range lol).
* Big Win lip kit with front and rear bars moulded to the bumpers, slight pull on front and rear fenders, fit genuine sunroof and full respray in Lexus Obsidian Black.
* Replace my Trafficstar RTS with a one-off set of wheels, 19x9.0/10.5" with not super aggressive offsets so I can run the widest tyres possible.
* Replace my super minty factory black velour interior with brand new genuine black panels, retrofit all UZZ31 electronics (memory seats, steering column and sunvisors), Recaro Style Topline front seats and rear seats trimmed in matching black leather, Series-I 2GS three-spoke steering wheel, custom analogue instrument cluster and custom wood trim.
* Full audiovisual upgrade with Android powered front screen and somehow hook it up to the original power/volume ****.

Series-I UZZ31:
* Built 1UZFE and Eaton MP90 supercharger
* R154 five-speed swap with A01B Torsen-II diff
* Full OEM spec suspension rebuild w/ new control arms and TEMS airbags
* Replace average interior with minty fresh one from my Series-III turbo w/ matching black leather seats
* English converted EMV unit
* Resprayed Millennium Silver (IC0) with Series-III conversion (front and rear bumpers, side skirts, tails and rear spoiler)
* BBS RG-II (18x8.5/9.5")

I would:
-Full Repaint To DWP/RSP/Black Onyx
-Supra TT Calipers
-New Rotors/Pads
-OEM Springs/Shocks
-Redo The Whole Suspension OEM
-Daizen or TRD Sway Bars
-Front Strut Bar & Custom Rear Strut Bar
-Volk Te37 Wheels in Black
-New Black Interior OEM
-Either NA-T T61 10psi with an R154
-Or 1jz-gte VVTI with new stock turbos and R154 From the Soarer
-Something like 330rwhp
-Nitrous with the mini bottles hidden in the passenger's seat like in the F&F
-Sound System

That would be my ideal sc300
