Well, an auto is cheaper so you that saves a couple of thousand. Also, you tend to get into the "lets fix it all whilst it's been pulled apart" mode - I did, and that is a factor. Lets do the maths! (I found a stack of my receipts today) - Toyota list prices are in brackets, I got some good discounts for buying heaps of stuff at once and the spare parts guy was a revhead too. Manual jza-70 front cut - $4.5k (was fully dressed with all panels and had a HKS blow-off setup and strut brace) Seal for powersteering pump - $8 (9) Engine mounts (2) - $198.18 ea ($248 ea) TEMS shocks, front and rear - $45.45 ea ($70.87 ea) Front lower control arm bushes - $125 (Noltec) Getting the old bushes pushed out and new ones fitted - $33 Machine front disks - $26.40 Bearings and sundry items - $30 Air filter (genuine) - $42 ($49) New serpentine belt, vaccum hose and fittings - $57 6 platnium spark plugs - $12.50ea 2.5 inch exhaust (from cat back) with muffler and resonator- $300 Front/Rear Wheel aligment - $50 New radiator and cooling system flush - $480 (jza70 one has platic top tanks that crack) Coolant $40 Synthetic Oil $50 Transport SA approval - $140 (had to go back after initial inspection) Re-gassing air-con - $300 Total (close enough to it) - $6700. - not including tyres, rego, insurance etc. This is doing all the work ourselves - wiring, monkey work etc. You sitaution may be different - but keep in mind a front cut has done ~100,000kms and needs some tidying up before putting it in. Also the 1jz powersteering pumps can be dodgy - I've had one fail and propblems with leaks, air entering system, noise etc. It's better to know this before deciding to do a conversion. Also, once completed you've still only got a dead stock 1jz - which you'll want to start modding too. [Report message to a moderator]
