Dear sweet baby Jesus...with it starting to warm up outside, I got a bit antsy and started to take a few things apart and basically learn the car alot more as I put things back together. With the tan interior I got pretty bored and found a few cans of paint and my can of clear...the results...



And I didn't stop there...I got tired of the way the automatic shifter looked so I figured I'd get ballsy and try something out...



Stay Classy.

Glad to see more progress. We are still trying to make the IA this year. Alabama has an A- Day game that same day and the wife would rather go to Tuscaloosa to see them instead.

I remember looking at this thread way back when the 1j took a dump. Glad to see you are finally driving it and with a 2j. Makes me jelly. Where in GA are you? Would love to see this one day.

Yeah im an hour away from Atlanta so I dont get down there very much. Im debating on whether or not to go to IA this year. Last year was a dissapointment and Rod Run is the same weekend. I dont know which i will be attending. But would love to see that SC out there.

The difference between cut springs and properly built springs. My God the ride is so much better now and alot more safer. Falken/Factory Springs vs OEM "cut" Supra Springs.





And now the install...



And the finished product.



Followed with a new set of lugs...yeah boy!



LS400 BBK coming shortly as soon as I paint these calipers.
