Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliments. I think I'll stick with TRD Pony. There is already the suprastang which is like a 2000 v6 mustang drag car.

The SupraStang was put together by Erik Radzins who, ironically enough, had a bad ass red SN95 Cobra back in the day as well. Wish I could find a picture of it now.

Comments about it filling up the bay are spot on. The 2JZ is not a small engine, but certainly a stout one.

It is looking awesome dude!

Yeah hopefully the engine bay will look a lot less cluttered once the stock twin turbos are gone. There is a lot of piping and craziness going on there.

You gotta love how the irs kicks the wheels out just a lil more than the sra.

How much more do you have to go before she can start up?

I might not have all of the detail stuff finished but I hope to at least fire it up this month. I have to finish my a/c hoses and do a bit of wiring but certainly doable.

Its like all the puzzles pieces are out there and lucky you keep finding them. Who knew a Yota engine slip right in. Honestly though, i cringe at the thought of a chevy engine. I giggle with glee seeing a toyota engine in there! I rate this thread 5 stars!

Well I have finally started the motor for the first time and it fired right up. I still have quite a bit left to do but it is reassuring knowing that it runs!

That's awesome, seeing it running is a huge accomplishment in the build. Keep on plugging along man!
