I wanted a 3 piece hatch lip spoiler but they don't make them in carbon, it wouldn't match my seibon hatch.

if you had to estimate how much $$$ do you have tied up into your 2jz swap?

has it ever made you wonder if you should have gone with an LS instead? I'm trying to get different points of view from guys who own LS's and those who own 2j's, so It can help me with making my decision for my swap.
Yeah, i didn't let all the hassle discourage me from getting exactly what i wanted.

With my first turbo setup last year i was in the motor about 10k. [rough estimate, possibly a little more] After changing setups this year I'm in it about an additional 3200.

I love JDM motors/cars/culture. I don't care much for LS motors especially N/A, they're boring and all the same In my opinion. LS swaps are more common than 2jz swaps in S chassis, and as everyone knows the stock block power capability. Although i would like to someday build a FC rx7 with a pro charged LS. Thats the only LS project that really appeals to me. I also got lucky my 2jz cost me $2000 when i bought it. Now most JDM motor sellers have raised their prices to 2800 for the non-vvti's.

Keep it up!
Lol, the Type X front bumper fit like crap with the fiberglass fenders i had. With more and more people going with type x aero i had no inspiration to buy oem fenders and have them painted to fit good. OEM Silvia aero bumper's are also more rare than type-x bumpers so i decided to go that direction since luckily someone local had one.
