read through the thread but I didnt or missed any talk about the transmission mounts. do the r154 trans mount and bushing bolt straight on the ar5?

No, you have to use the mount from the Ar5 and I made my own mount bracket. I have more pictures I can upload. My supra is around the 500hp and so far so good no issues with the transmission yet. still shifts like butter. I went with the single driveshaft and clutch disk from drift motion FYI. the real down fall to this project was, I didn't have a R154 to start with. So by the time it was complete I have around $1800. invested. It will be a lot cheaper if you already have aR154 to take the parts off of..BUT, if I do blow this tranny up they are easy to get ahold of and it will only be around $500. Bottom line is if you have a blown R154 everything will swap off of it to the AR5 except shifter housing, tranny mount clutch disk. Drive shaft can be used with adapters. I just chose to go with driftmotions driveshaft.
if anyone is still having doubts, my ar5 is still holding great with an 600whp lq4 and 3200+pounds car
