yea. i really liked the SC because no one had one really fixed up. i only sold it because i got a state ref ticket and the ticket was 1000 bucks. =\ but now with the Z, i love it 10 times more. haha

the SC didnt have much done. dropped a 1jz in it. did a front mount and then everything else u see exterior. interior just had a 4pt. cusco and i fitted a pillar bar to hold the harness.

my brother's Supra which we worked on for a while since 1999 came a long way .... reason for the stickers was it was a sponsored Bomex lead car...


also my first car was a 1995 jeep grand cherokee laredo, 1995 BMW 325i which i sold for a 2000 Honda Civic Si to race since my bimmer was auto and now the Z.

bro's car in 1994 which i used to help work on was a 1991 Acura Integra - sparco wheels, PIAA 959, Mugen 3 piece, Stech springs, Borla w/ hollowed cat, Fuba antenna, K & N intake, Dc headers, bullfrog cams

and a 1992 Civic DX hatch w/ 6 pt. roll cage B16 swap with EFi swapped for carbueratours - blew the motor shortly after that was 1996

had a 92 civic in high school. Got a 96 Integra GSR when I went to college, that got stolen on my birthday 5 days after I paid cash for it. Then I got a 01 Focus that got wrecked in a rain storm when I drove it off a cliff while Hydroplaning....not sure if I spelled that right but im sure everyone gets the idea. Now the Z.

sucks you got rid of it because of the referee ticket, was it for the swapped motor? did you get out of it since you sold it? And I might be a complete idiot but I thught the 1JZ motor was single turbo and the 2JZ motor was 2 turbos???? You were saying it was twin turbo but you mentioned it was a 1jz motor. Correct my unknowing motor skills.... I know 3SGTE much better

oh sorry. well basically i got the ticket and it was for the motor right off the bat. i had to pay for the ticket first then i sold the car because i borrowed the money from my Dad. the 1jz-gte is also a twin turbo but it came off the toyota soarer aka sc300.
