Hey man nice build thread you have going here. What was the cause of your engine not starting up a while back?

Was it something with the engine harness? The engine?

When I was making the wiring harness I messed up the numbering on a few wires....i.e the signal wires to the injectors and coils....it was an easy fix....

Thanks....SC has been through quite a transformation

I have the Hyper Silver 521's in the same specs on my SC400. I love these wheels, and they have held up great over the last 3 years

Yea cant really go wrong with bbs reps........although the XXR center caps make the wheels look really cheap but I ended up modifying some lexus caps to work....much better

The muteki SR48 lug nuts came in today.....There are pretty nice but damn do they scratch easy.....The fronts are a little more sunk than I thought they would be but the rears stick out good...

I ended up going with BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2 tires for the rear 275/35/18......they are pretty wide tires I measured them at 11 in

Some pics....Scheduled to get them mounted and balanced on Friday...cant wait to see the car with some meaty tires...

275's fit nicely on my car, even with the drop on BC coilovers I didn't have to roll or touch the fenders.

Yep....I have my rear fenders rolled completely flat.....although my wheels are little agressive should give me a little poke with the 18x10 +25.....

If I were to give it a little pull I should be able to fit a 295.....but I really dont want to push the W58 that hard......when I upgrade to r154...I would feel more comfortable

Hey Ryan it's Jason aka TweakedIS300 on Supra forums. I forgot about your build thread on here. It looks like you've done quite a lot since I saw the car at Cars and Coffee. It looks good and sounds great man. Congrats on all the hard work and excellent outcome.
