Made quite a bit of progress although I don’t have pictures. Catch can is mounted, turbo and downpipe are in. Egt is in. Ecumaster Black came in and I’m working on wiring it. Lots of other stuff. New wheels to come... here’s a preview

Jimmy - hello.
I was glad to get acquainted with your project. Good project !
Rays - beautiful forged wheels !!!
I'm a fan of sports and luxury coupe and I built my SC 300:
My SC 300 I bought in 2005 in Dallas (Texas / USA). I installed the 2GZ GTE VVT-i engine with ECU Vemc. Here are the addresses of my topics: http://tourerv.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=114574
Your SC has a large electricity consumption. I advise you - to put the generator on 130A - Part # 27020-46320 from Toyota Verossa GX11 #, JZX110 with the engine 1JZ FSE.
Vadim.

Wow... I haven't checked in with you for a while, Jimmy... Car is looking fantastic. Love the engine bay work. If you ever get chased down by some nut driving an LS430 in Chicago, it'll no doubt be me wanting an up close look at the car!

That would be awesome! Come check it out anytime. The car is always at the shop. Small update: car will be going to Sound Performance on 2/27 for tuning. Wiring harness should be done next week. TT lsd diff is in. Another new steering wheel coming.

Db8motorsports on Facebook is where I got the steering wheel. It is not an official TRD product. It was custom made.

I truly hope you don’t mind, but we just had to feature your build on our social media yesterday. It’s rare we see really clean builds. Amazing work and can’t wait to see what else is in store!
