wow, nice. let me know who does your engine, and BTW where did you get the flywheel from.

I am not sure if i will rebuild my 18rg or not...

I'm not using the 18RG anymore. Put it up for sale with all the extras.

I would use Shacklets in Nashville however.

I'll sell you the clutch and flywheel for my cost if you want it. Just PM me.

The 18RG was a great engine and is for sure beautiful. Parts are just too rare and expensive to entrust it getting rebuilt the first time without any errors. Since I want to be able to drive the car all the time, something involving less risk and better part availability is best. I built the car with aspirations for 300+ horsepower and the SR fit that bill perfectly. I will be forced to cut the firewall but that's something I'll just have to live with. Switching back to the original plan for the car seems like the right thing to do. As a last resort I've considered a LSX but that's probably not happening. Ha

Have a ton of life changes going on so it will be covered in the garage untouched for the next several months anyway. I have plenty time to figure things out n the future.

I've had a Supra itch also so it's possible this car gets sold or moved to storage for a while. Who knows!

This car is SCREAMING for a F20C (S2000 motor). High compression, NA with ITB's... :jimp:
I agree. Or, a BEAMS 3S-GE, with included 6-speed manual. I'm planning on doing the latter.

The 18RG finally sold and shipped out last week. Currently building a house which is set to be done in April. After I get all moved in and settled I may finally finish it up. Not sure what direction I'm taking it anymore.

Will be nice having a 3 car garage now though ;)

It's only been for sale once and I canceled the listing.

I did list it yesterday and I'm letting it run its course. Has nothing to do with the car as I still love it and will regret letting it go but I may be proposing to my girlfriend soon and I'm in the middle of building a house also so my priorities have changed a little. If it does sell then great because the money will definitely be used towards more additions to the new house. If it does not I'm perfectly fine with keeping it stored in the garage until the time comes where finishing it is back on my priority list.

I've had engines and stuff for sale a lot but the car itself has only been listed once.

Regardless, thanks guys. Yay to priorities for sure.

I'm sure there will be a 6spd TT replacement Toyota probably next year so I won't be sad for long ;)
