Dang, I would have kept the original engine, it looked great! Where is it now is the real question, looks like it has the Hermes Kit but can't tell for sure. Very nice, of course the 2zz is spectacular but I like originality. However the craftsmanship on the suspension design, engine and chassis really make your car a work of art!

Hope to see it in person one day.

I was at Leno's a couple weeks ago and one of the guys said the flywheel was hitting the bell housing or adapter plate. Did that get resolved?

That is unbelievable, I can't wait to see it finished and hear your thoughts about the car when you drive it.
