Not bad! I have been considering having some lighter bumper supports made that secure my bumper better and lose some weight, but don't really think it's worth it haha. I also do still have all my sound deadening, carpet, speakers, etc, which might go in the near future. Honestly, the car...

Is there a way I can change the title of this thread? I've changed my setup but figure this might as well be my "build thread"

Weighed the car today! It's an 89 Targa with 2JZ/single/standalone with rear seats and rear hatch interior panels removed (the rest of the interior is intact). No ABS, extra wiring, or other BS in the engine bay and a tiny little dry cell battery. FRP bucket seats, lightweight suspension arms...

What components do you plan on keeping and what are you getting rid of? It's not brand new, but I have a gray plug 89+ harness I removed cruise control, EGR, IACV, cold start injector, etc from and replaced old brittle wires with new ones left over from my last engine setup. It just has the...

No slipping, and free play as within spec. I'm more concerned about the cost of a twin disc or V160 than anything else... at this point I might as well have saved up for a MKIV haha. Kind of hoping there's some magical single disc I haven't heard about that people have had success with.

It's not ideal, but it can do it

I currently have a singled 2JZ and an ACT 6-puck spring clutch with the HD pressure plate (TS2-HDG6) and it holds fine driving around doing pulls on sticky tires at low and high boost (~350 rwtq and ~400 rwtq). However, I welded two of the six pucks badly to both my flywheel and pressure plate...

The x10.5 +27 will hit the lower A-arm up front even with a smaller tire. The inside lip of the wheel will hit since it's too far in at full lock, even on stock steering angle. It's probably ok to notch the flattened welded section of the a-arms though, I'm probably going to do it to mine to...

Did the cams help above 6500 with the .68 housing? I'd like it to continue making power up there but am not sure I want to switch to a larger housing haha.

reasonable picture:

AEM + harness I made from scratch

I have an intake manifold and larger TB, but honestly am not sure what it does to the powerband since I never had the stock stuff on there. I kind of wish I went with a real TT, cams are a lot easier to find for those haha. I also have a video, but this is on 14 psi (~400 rwhp) and a lame...

Sorry, no videos. I forgot to take any haha. It revs to 8, but as you can see it stops making power before that. It's just nice to have extra rev range to avoid having to shift in some situations. I run the .68 A/R, but might switch to the divided .86 down the road.

The engine is pretty much stock. I have ID1000s, the AEM, and the usual exhaust/intercooler/etc. The 6262 is responsive, I like it.

For reference, I now have 17x10 +20 wheels on all 4 corners with 295/35/r17 tires Pulled fenders at least 1" in the front and 1/2" in the rear, -1.7 deg camber F and -3 deg camber R for now. More pull in the rear is definitely needed for the -1.5 degrees I'm shooting for. Ride height is...

It's just a bone stock 2JZ-GE with a GTE head gasket and ARP studs, on AEM V1

Yeah buddy! 475/403 at 17.4 psi thanks to Randy and the rest of National Speed.

This thing is still boss as hell. Glad to see some progress! I'm jealous of your front upper A-arms, did you make them?
