Well this build happened off an impulse buy. I've always liked the way the sc300/400 chassis looked but they were always stupid expensive and out of my price range. Then one day I made a rant on fb about the price of these cars even with blown up motors or crazy body damage. Turns out a friend of mine knew a guy selling one cheap and put us in touch a few text messages later I sent my dad money to pay for the car and fuels and lunch for him and my uncle to go pick it up since I just started my new job in the oilfield at the time and didn't know when I was gonna have a day off and didn't want this deal to slip through my hands.
$400 later this is sitting at our house waiting for me to decide what I was gonna do with it (march 2013)

well after a few months of planning and and getting my financial situation stable I starting ordering parts to get the ball rolling. (September 2013)
after a few emails back and fourth I hooked up with Neo-motorsports for my suspension and braking needs

then I decided I was gonna drop a 1jz into it since it bolts right in. well I found a cheap auto swap in corpus picked it up dropped it off at our shop. Then I was on the hunt for a r154 well during my searchs I came across a decently priced soarer front clip with an r154. so I sold my other motorset to a friend. and purchased the front clip (oct 2013)
Then after talking to bigsticks about ecu's I purchased a pro efi pro 48 ecu and all the sensors I needed from the guys at D3 performance (nov 2013)

Then came the turbo side with so many options. I decided to go with the driftmotion billet 6262 turbo kit. mainly because it came with every thing I needed to go single turbo and wasn't crazy expensive and had a lot of good reviews. (dec. 2013)

then my niece decided that she wanted to model with it

Onto the fuel system. I purchased a fuel injector clinic fuel rail and 1050cc injectors. Turns out the injectors were discontinued so they upgraded me to 1120's since they were the same price.

During this whole time frame I was purchasing all the little stuff I could for the motor todo maintenance and small upgrades. I bought all brand new oem timing belt tensioner, idler pulley, front and rear main seals, water pump, oil pump (just to be safe), greddy timing belt, thermal intake manifold gaskets, nst pulleys, fluidamper


finally the front clip arrived from japan and we get to work getting the motor ready to go in the car (jan. 2014)
