I like the black on black. Looks great

 

Thanks guys.....I mounted the belts to the rear seat belt bolts for now....Its ok....but I will prob end up getting a harness bar....

 

Been enjoying the SC a lot lately.....was just getting ready to install the mapecu2 and noticed last week when I took it out for a drive that I wasnt able to rev the car past 5k rpm.....it literally sounded like I had a 2 step on stock ECU....lol.

After further investigation I had discovered that #3 coil pack had started to crack and was very brittle......I ended up picking up a set of 30k mile coil packs from a buddy....thanks again man...

I also ordered a new set of coil pack connectors.....I put on generic ones before and they were very brittle and break easily...so opted to go with new OEM toyota ones this time around...

 

Ryan she's coming along quite nice. Complete turn around from when we last spoke? Side not how's the truck?

Been good....got it all put back together about a month ago....It took a lot longer than I expected.....but its all good now.....thinking about maybe trying to put a trd supercharger on it or may just move up to a newer gen taco...

 

Not much to update on...

But I have been having several issues with the car not wanting to run right.....and now I am not getting any spark....

I am ordering a new crank position sensor and coolant temp sensor....

As of today I have replaced the following:

• Tried different ECU
• New Spark Plugs...Coppers....gapped at .025
• New coil pack connectors
• 30k Mile Coil Packs
• New TPS Sensor
• New oxygen Sensor

I did also pickup a GS400 rear diff w/ 3.26 gearing that I am looking to swap in an TRD LSD....

 

Beginning to accumulate parts for upgrades that will be performed over winter.....updates coming soon...

Picked up a JDL Auto Design Catch can for SC300.....





GS400 Diff awaiting for LSD install...I decided to go this route because I wanted the 3.26 gearing...and didnt want to pay for a JDM 6spd diff with torsen as I would have swapped it out for TRD LSD anyways...

I will be cleaning it up and painting the case and putting in poly bushings...

 

Split open the diff to inspect everything and drain it out...

Also started to clean the diff case with a wire wheel on a drill...



Open Diff......time to get that junk out of their and put in proper LSD...

 

Car has been parked for winter...

So far I have been able to remove all AC lines, dryer, etc from the car...by doing this it enabled me to tuck my intake side IC piping much higher up...previously all those AC hardlines were in the way...

Also received some custom engine plates from a CL memeber.....I plan on having these powdercoated Black to match valve covers etc..

 

Hey man, glad you got the plates and the sticker. Looks great!

Let me know how the plates fit. Sounds like I may need to enlarge the bolt holes on the front cover to allow for a little more wiggle room to fit nicely from car to car.

 

Yea it is pretty tight....I havent put the front bumper back on yet....Will update when I do so..

 

Picked up some Glass high beams...

Huge difference from the stock 92 plastic high beams.....

 

Looking good man!

I wish they made glass low beams as well. I had mine clearcoated a few years back because I got tired of polishing them, but still nothing beats the clarity and durability of glass.

 

Yea plastic blows......I really want to buy those ugly halo headlights just for the clear lens....and put them on factory headlights...

 

TRD LSD for Auto Supra has arrived today from Elmhurst Toyota....when I purchased mine they had the only 6 in the USA......now they have 5..

Cant wait to get it installed into the GS400 diff w/3.266 gearing.....
