i missed getting that grey one by just a few hours. was sitting in a barn for $300!!! those will be cool when your done.

Its brown, was more than $300 and wasn't in a barn.

[hobbes_the_cat]

the guy you got it from paid $300 and got it from a barn. I am 100% sure.

Drives like a highend old car, like a 70s mercedes. Same powerband too. I'm gonna throw a weber on and delete the emissions. I have a w57 5speed going in, which should dramatically update the way it drives. Rack and pinion would be nice, and it looks like a miata subframe would fit nicely, but I don't want 4x100, so thats out the window.

 

Interestingly, it has a mid-rear sump pan, which is the most common on JZ engines, and since the w57 is a direct swap without driveline changes, and the sc300 (midrear sump) used a w58, an NA 2jz would be fairly simple. I know theres already one of these with a JZ engine in it, but a modern EFI engine makes and old car so much more enjoyable to daily.

Cool man, with or without the swap you'll have a cool ride. are you planning on building them both or are you going to combine 2 into 1?

Just enjoying this car for now. Not sure what I'll do next, if anything. I might lower the rear a little. Although... if no one buys it, I'd like to do some baby moons.
