Update #11 2/17/13 Been a few weeks since I updated this build. I'd like to have more consistent updates but I've been slaving away at the new job and between training, getting use to the long hours and the freak apocalyptic snow storm we had here in CT I haven't been able to get any time...

Update #10 2/3/13 So I was able to finally get some work in on the car. Been slaving away at VW the last week. Long hours suck, but I got my first sale! Woohoo! Anyway, my brother came through big as I cannot weld whatsoever and helped me almost finish what is the most difficult part of this...

Update #9 1/26/13 So I was trying to find some more photos of clutch pedal's installed on a UCF10 and I stumbled onto this. This guy did a 5spd swap into an early GS300. He had the same problem with the firewall being angled so he rigged up something pretty neat. That is a MKIV Supra clutch...

Update #8 1/23/13 Little bit of work done today. Got everything ready to start figuring out how to install the clutch pedal, and today is also the day when the realization of how much this is actually going to suck finally kicked in. Started by pulling the emergency brake pedal assembly...

Update #7 1/22/13 Today was a good day, not very productive, but a very good day indeed and I wanted to share it. To start the day off, stuff came in the mail. I decided after seeing someone else use one with very little modification on an SC chassis, to use a MKIII Supra clutch pedal...

Update #6 1/19/13 So I got a bit of work done yesterday. Just something so I could feel satisfied that I actually did some kind of progress that day and to prepare for the clutch pedal assembly. Current state of the engine bay. Whats coming out today. I relieved the pressure from the...

Update #5 1/12/13 So my friend made the stupid comment about pulling the dash to make more room for the clutch pedal install. Did some searching, and then he convinced me. So today, we pulled the dash! Should of taken photos for a DIY, I'll try when I put it all back together since I couldn't...

Update #4 1/11/13 Well had a few things come in today. Ricochet poly steering rack bushings, guys claim its 90 on the durometer. Who in their right mind would bother making and selling LS400 steering rack bushings...? I doubt they get very many sales of these, but hey I'm not complaining...

Update #3 1/8/13 Well I didn't get too much stuff done, but for the sake of having a consistent coverage I wanted to bump this. Momo hub came in so I went it and in the process attempted to see if I could keep CC. No luck on keeping the clockspring on the hub, though the MKIV Supra hub fit on...

UPDATE #2 1/4/13 Ok so small update, have some good news and bad news. The bad news is I can't toss the Lexus on jackstands yet to start tearing it apart because my brothers rally car is in the garage and I'm not going to park the car all the way in the back, or on the other side of the garage...

Ever since my early teenage years I always had a fascination with these cars. When my dad got one all I wanted to do is have a twin turbo one of my own. As I grew older and less naive I came to the realization of the cost, skill, and time required to do such things and my day dreams were then...
