Tools? Engine hoists? Engine stands?
I have all tools, and i wont consider engine stand or lift a part of this car's build because it will be reused on many other builds as well.

Dont see anything like SAFC-II or MAFT-PRO. on the list. You have injectors I am guessing 550cc. So are you getting a Lexus AFM, keeping the stock or going to a MAFT-PRO type thing? I did not see a boost controller on there either. What turbo are you buying for 900.00.

are you expecting the brakes, suspension and steering to all be fine on a 22 year old $300 car?

Thats a great point. How solid is This 300.00 car as it sits? If its been sitting for a long time you should check out the parts that you are going to keep. Is there an engine in there ? You are getting a 7MGTE for it, so you also have to look into the wire harness that was there and will it all match up.

There has to be lots of things that have not been mentioned.. Before you spend any money after getting the car you should really plan it out carefully. Im guessing you are only going to get 1 shot at this.

i think some of your prices are a little off(sorry to say on the low side). also you need a misc budget of prob a few hundred bucks. bolts, gaskets, shipping, fluids, hoses... it all adds up in the end.

no i havent... but its my opinion.
i dont trust ebay when it comes to performance.


I respect that, but just to throw it in there, i had bought a t70 turbo from them and i cant complain one bit, i pushed 26psi through that mofo spinin 3rd and 4th gear on a stock auto trans (blew trans up 2 days later from havin too much fun) they are good turbos, some might have had some bad luck with them before but i take it they improved alot since then, their mani's are good as hell, i have one of those also :)

p.s not to mention i ran that turbo HARD for a year, and its still alive, and will be used again as soon as this monster engine im building is done :D
