Finally went to see the car and I decided to take it. It gets picked up either tomorrow or wednesday.

I have to say I have never ever seen such a clean car in my life.

We're probably going to swap out the V8 later and swap the 1j or something in.

I would turbo the V8 but its extremely costly to do so. lol.

Congrats on the buy!

Few things...

The guy before you put a 97+ bumper on it. You are missing the 97+ fog lights FYI. Plastic X your headlights!


Awesome car, now were brothers haha! You can Centrifugal SC for cheap.


1K for the SC
$200 for the bracket to bolt it up

and the rest is piping and tuning + misc crap

Only thing I gripe about the 1jz is that EVERYONE does it. Very few have built up the 1uz. Mostly because parts were not available... Well more and more has come about recently...

Some stuff such as...

Image


Torque Converter for as little as $200 + core...

Image


Centrifugal SC bracket. GB is like 100 without coating and 150 with. will go up to 200 and 250

Image


Forged KITS

Image


Cams...



and more cause I dont feel like posting pictures...

Oversized Valves, Retainers, Valve Springs, Fuel Rails, Engine Girdle (coming soon), Stroker kits.... etc....

just gotta be willing to play :)

Well here's the thing. I can get either a 1j or 2j dirt cheap and have it swapped in less than 6 hours...

The V8 would cost a pretty penny to build. What we may do is keep the v8 on the side OR swap it into another car we have laying around....

I already have all the turbo crap, no sense letting it sit there.

finally pics. real nice and clean.
i'm sure your girlfriend and more importantly yourself will prefer riding inside this than the camry.
it seemed like you always had a project going on, on the camry.

only way it could look nicer is with a black interior. thats easy. get your friend to paint it.

Where? I've never seen such things....
well i dont remember where ive seen ALL of them, cuz theyve been in different locations ... but:

Page 123 of the September 2007 edition of Modified Magazine has Carrillo Super A-Beam Connecting Rods for the 5SFE, among others .... JE and CP also make forged pistons, i do believe ... you can confirm all of that with CrawlingEye on these forums
