Thats me driving... still breaking it in... low boost and power steering rack not hooked up yet, hence the uncomfortable ride.... also i didnt wanna take off because I'm not used to the clutch.  I definitely should have gone with a tilton triple disk clutch setup instead of the unsprung spec. 

And yeah, it's our stock 5 speed transmission.

And more importantly, the only gauge that matters in the car works, and that's the wideband and oilpressure. LOL

@~:52s... Did the engine tweak and turbo just slam off the hood?

so does this 2jz motor have forged internals? Head work? etc?

What all do you have in the motor itself?

Found this up and coming 2JZ monster today. I'm liking the front fender flares; the rears not so much. Should be interesting to see when it's complete.
