Re: What to do...what to do....
lol.
I guess the general consensus is to keep at this whole SC thing. I wish it wasn't such a pain in the ass... Have you guy ever driven a boat? Lol.
TATTRAT, i do have a job, it's not necessarily the best one...
Woo, it's got a 2JZ-GE VVT-i in it. I wish i could transplant the T in VVT-i, and put it in between the G and the E......
Nisbro, lol. And luxury aspect of it is starting to get on my nerves...
Which leads to another thing.....what do you all think, N/A-T, 2JZ-GTE, or 1JZ-GTE? Lol. Damm, i hate making decisions.

Also don't ever give up the luxury of your car, it's what separates us luxo sports car tools from just the regular sports car tools.

Re: What to do...what to do....
personally i would go 1j or 2j but not NA-T. I know the NA motors are good for quite a bit of power...but the actual 1j/2j's are already built for the boost. I also think you should do a R154 Swap before you do ANY motor work. You need 5 speed bad!
Do yourself a favor and make a list of what you want to do, and in what order...then stick to it. It will make your life easier. You already have coilovers, which would be the first thing i would suggest to anyone trying to build a car. I know nothing about toyotas, but im sure they make some kid of adjustable camber arms for your car. Start looking for other adjustable suspension components so we can get your stance straightened out. THEN start looking at go fast goodies. The R154 5 speed swap would be very beneficial to do first, because it will work with the 1jz or 2jz..so whichever eay you decide to go, you will be ready.
1. Finish your suspension
2. R154 5 Speed Swap
3. Motor?

Save your money and get a job, then worry about toys and shit. Just because you are getting out of school doesn't mean you will have a job, especially making the money you think you are going to make.
There is always time to play later, keep your ass covered and build a little cushion until you get on your feet.

I'm actually in the same boat as you, only recently decided to pull the trigger and start saving parts for a build.

Re: What to do...what to do....
How much did you pay for yours? Cause i couldn't justify the 8k price the guy was giving me. I mean, unless you don't feel like saying, it's fine. Your SC is pretty damm clean though, mine on the other hand, is pretty rough, that being the reason i want to build.
But yeah, right now, i'm just trying to keep the car interesting. Since i'll be driving it for two years, and then i'll transfer to VT, where i prob wont see it too often.

. Well why not just get the paint stuff worked out, keep it a reliable daily until you've got the extra cash in to build it motor / turbo stuff.
