Looks good.

can't wait to see some numbers!

YES it looks great! but have you been paying attention to SG lately? This place is not what it use to be. Everyone talks about how many times they nutted looking at the M90 but 90% of SG is stock or lightly modded. 8% is heavily modded. and rest of the guys moved on. ( These numbers not accurate). I know of only one person jumping all over this SC. Yup Greg! NO im not bitter right now........ Maybe a little! Where are the rest of the members?

^^^^^^^Where are the rest of the members?^^^^

They're banned.

I wish all you guys would buy one of these kits off Gabe. They are the balls! I cant wait to get the turbs hooked back up and get this thing out on the street.

Unfortunately for me Solaraguy has fallen apart all the of the guys I thought would buy a kit have either sold or parted their cars, or have decided to build their own kit using my ideas and pictures as a basis (yes i know that sounds rediculous but its true) . So its looks like Trent may be the only guy in the world to sport this kit on his car.

The build is coming along good.The built engine is installed. The 2006 3mz exhaust cam i was using in the front head on Trents car was missing the little knob on the cam for the cam sensor pickup. So I had to get a new cam from toyota from a 2004 3mz which does have the cam sensor pickup knob.

List of things still to do.

BBK front and rear
ES poly control arm bushings front and rear
oil catch can
oil pressure, intake temp, and boost gauge
shifter cable bushings
mount new R compound tires
re-install turbo kit after s/c dyno testing
re tune twincharged setup
replace existing intercooler piping with larger diameter piping

Gabe, I havent seen anything about look alike kits, what has you worried about this happening? I would think that a picture vs actual welding/fab jigs would be a totally different ball game.

I wasn't gonna say nothing but........... well maybe ill just stay quite.! Not right.

^^^ you guys have no idea who!

^^ Ya true Greg, but at least your getting the kit from Gabe. I really dont know who Gabe is talking about or if Fergi really knows who the guy is but that's a lot of R&D down the drain if someone really starts making the MP90's and starts selling them. Hay Gabe sorry to hear that dude. Hope you resolve this issue with the guys taking your idea, research and design.

I don't think any of the parties that are making their own m90 kits plan to resell them. I think they are just building a kit for their own car instead of buying my kit. What gets me is that I have been working on this project for everyone for several years now, sharing all the info and and pictures along the way, then all of a sudden when my kit is ready to release to the public people start coming out of the woodwork making their own m90 1mz kit .

yeah that's hella whack

I don't think everyone has moved on, because I think there are alot of people like me who creep the forums waiting for someone to do what gabe is doing....but unfortunately for people who are under budgeted like me aren't going to fork out a ton of money for a used supercharger with 90K on it. I want something new and fresh either something that someone else made such as gabe, or piece a turbo kit together myself and fine tune it for daily driving. These cars are very unique and I get looks everyday about it. They are clean and under radar and I will be keeping mine for a long time unless toyota comes out w/ something similar looks and more power.

tooshorty thanks for your support. I appreciate it. I recently got my hands on a kenne bell 2.6 twin screw supercharger. This should push our 1mz/3mz platform to insane hp levels. I agree with you, i really like the solara body style, as well as the sc300 and sc400's.
