Arghhh. Chicks really do dig the lexus, they ask about it all the time, haha. Damnit to hell, I don't know what to do. =/

Yeah.. I just really don't know if it's worth it to me. The ladies love the Lexus. (haha.) It's just...so comfortable. I guess I have a lot of thinking to do....~350HP in a 2600lb car sounds pretty nice though...haha.

I started another thread about it.. I live in Wilmington, NC. It gets pretty hot and humid down here but it should be getting better after summer stops hitting so hard. I can do without AC, but the Powersteering is going to be tough. At least if I can get guaranteed a way to get powersteering...

I just typed out the hugest message and it got lost in internetfailland...... Basically what I said is: I absolutely love the SC, but I think I got it at the wrong stage in my life. While I'm young, I think I need a car to get that phase out of my system. I want something I can have fun with...

Okay, Next week I'm supposed to be picking up a 1990 Hatch S13 with an S15 front end, 1JZ swap, Single turbo conversion GT35R with other goodies. However, the car lacks a lot of things I am used to today. God, the more I think about it, the more I don't want this car. I need some convincing...

God, the more I think about it, the more I don't want this car. I need some convincing people! I'm going from an automatic, leather, super luxury awesome car, ice cold AC, PS, Power steering wheel, windows, super smooth beautiful car to an S13 with a 1JZ. No power steering, No power windows...

Making a trip on the 4th if he doesn't trade it away before I get there... Seems so far away, haha.

Haha, thanks. I'm just trying to make sure I know what I'm getting into, because I don't exactly have a lot of extra cash lying around.

It's got a Walbro255 already, that is definitely a unnecessary upgrade.

Nice kill!

Thank you Rob, that does indeed answer some questions. I didn't know about the difference between USDM and JDM 2jz injectors.

Hey, if it gets me in... I'm stoked. Going to make a trip either this weekend or next once he gets the tach/speedo converted this week. :icon_bigg

Now I guess the only problem is a nice motor in a cheap car, ha. I guess I can keep thinking about that power/weight ratio though, hah.

In the SC400, it's about $75 a week, must run premium also, 20 gallon tank, 15mpg = owned. That's with gas being pretty cheap (~$4.25 for premium) here in NC.

First ticket I ever got was at 2am on a 4 lane road, coming down from 110 in the SC400 after showing my friend what it had (LOL.) Sherrif popped me out of absolutely nowhere in his shiny new charger and told me he clocked me at 85 in a 55. I was dreading my life at the time due to insurance and...

^ Indeed. I have a ToySan I suppose, haha. That might be my license plate now that I think about it...Taking a weekend trip VERY soon to pick the car up, I can't wait. One thing I want to question about is reliability issues. It's a pretty low mileage motor, but keep in mind it is a single...

The KA's blow up all the time, and most of the SR's are pretty stout, but it seems nothing beats the internal reliability of a Toyota straight six..

Wow, needless to say I'm very pleasantly surprised. I knew the 2JZ's were basically internally bulletproof, but I wasn't so sure about the 1JZ. This is all incredibly good news to hear.. I also love the fact that people are willing to lend information easily on this forum, it sure does help.

Like in all seriousness?.. Hmm, I've heard some things about people melting rods, but I assume that's only people running on shitty tunes or whatnot.... Am I correct in thinking these cars came with metal HG's?.... In fact, does anyone have a quick reference list (Not Wiki, or FAQ) about a...

From what I hear, the 440's(?) from the MKIV drop right in, and that should be good for at least 20lbs, but I'm wondering about the integrity of the motor then..
