Welcome back. I remember you parting out the old SC after the wreck. That Z looks pretty damn good, cant wait to see what you do with another SC.

I remember you. Your old SC was pretty sick, and so is that Z. Hope to see the same awesomeness with your new SC!

Thanks for the welcome backs. I was never on here by a different user name for the person that asked. Just 1985zcar.

Steering wheel hub showed up, looking for a Nardi 350, and picking up a Trust GREX shift **** from a friend soon. Other than that, no updates yet, coilovers are first on the list, and finding some wheels to throw on that are better than the stock 15s lol

that z is sick, I'm pretty sure I read your old build thread like everyday. Were you running a custom blast pipe setup with two megan round mufflers? I always wondered how'd it sound haha

It was a custom straight 3" into two big polished tips. No mufflers or resonators, and it sounded awesome

Bumping this for updates.

Powered By Max coilovers have been installed.
Diff has been welded.
Nardi 350 Sport installed.
Clear bubble shift **** installed.

Car is currently in the garage getting a 1JZ. Swap is about 95% complete. FMIC + custom piping and exhaust are all that's left. Will hopefully be wrapping up the swap this weekend. Will post photos when I'm on a computer. K bye!
