Sweet car. Love the folding mirrors I want that and a power rear window shade.

Any idea what the air purifier button panel is doing or controlling???

And the power windows down from the keyfob I'm pretty sure works on the aristos? It may be turned off in c-best. You may have seen my thread where I got JOBD working with Techstream so you can pull engine codes and change c-best settings on the JDM ecu's. Unless it's something to do with having no sunroof on your particular model.

I'm all in for more pics and hopefully and engine build! Congrats.

Thanks bro. I tried opening the windows with the keyfob and not only do they go down but they go back up too .

Puff, are u doing anything to the engine? isn't pretty much set up from factory like the Supra's? I'm sure your going to add front mount, chrome piping, etc.... I don't know a lot about the 1or 2jz's but your engine looks pretty much completed lol unless your making this into a 500HP monster lol....

I know your adding coils and wheels to...

My plans for the near future are as goes:
- Get the interior detailed. I won't do the exterior because the scratches on the hood and right side are too deep to buff out.
- All maintenance done (timing belt, water pump, plugs etc.)
- Coilovers
- Wheels
- New subwoofer to replace the blown factory one.

I'm also thinking about switching out the factory tinted rear windows for clear ones. The rear windows are really dark and I'm not a big fan of dark tint on a dark colored car.

As far as the motor goes it will not remain stock. Next year I'll be switching out the stock twins in favor of a 67mm turbo. 500whp on pump gas is what I'm thinking.
