i been looking for wheels like crazy. i seen a few guys on here with the TSW Snetterton wheels and i just had to have them. TSW was on back order for new ones so i began trolling craigslist till i found a set. 650 for a set!
these came in +20 offset. so they were pretty flush. 5x114.3 19x8 front and 19x9.5 rear staggard.

did some tire research and got some 235/35/19 for the front. the rears were tricky... i started wth 285/35/19 too wide! lol my car SAT on the tires. after i dropped it. no good at all.

moving along. i realized my radiator was crap! it was old with 170k on it. so naturally i ordered up an aftermarket all aluminum radiator. i've read that for some reason these 1jz and 2jz GTE motors generate much more heat than the GE/Non turbo iterations. so i figured. a larger radiator was in order.
i ordered one with electric fans and shroud combo.

i have the fans hooked up to a relay and a honda fan switch that kicks the fans on at 170 degree's automatically. soon an AEM will control them. but for now this will have to do.

after a month. i located a SC400 diff for 60 bux. i put that in. because it matched the gears in the r154. the stock automatic diff was ridiculously short. it made the engine rev like a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder.
so here are a few diff change pics.
pulled up onto lift. and racked it up.

i got it from ebay, but dont tell anyone lol i might get hated on. lol actually its a good radiator. no problems with it so far. it could fit a little better on the bottom mounting points. but other than that. its works and the extra coolant capacity is welcomed.
