I'd bet you would keep it even if you hit Lotto!

 

I have zero intentions of ever selling the car.....depending on how long the body holds up....but if it goes to ****....will find a donor car to swap it all over to

 

Was able to get alot of work done on the car over the weekend..

Installed lower mileage set of GS300 axles....surprisingly they were actually larger diameter than SC axles.

Installed the the rear differential back into subframe.

Installed downpipe and exhaust.


Only thing left to do is add coolant and lower car off of jack stands


Time to get SC back on the road..Hopefully the weather stays warmer like it has been so can take her out for a spin....

 

Hand painting the letters on stock 2jzgte spark plug cover....I actually like it better than the other piece I had powdercoated.....

Which one do you guys think looks better....







Powder Coated CNC spark plug cover...keep in mind it is a new piece and hasnt been through heat like valve covers, etc......they are all same powdercoat....just some is older and lightened up from heat.

 

Ryan that looks great!

The way my dad's painter did my original oem cover was first paint it black around the lettering, then shot silver on top, but used a block to sand off the silver from the letters to reveal the black underneath. Clearcoat on top of everything.

Just an idea for you!

 

damn both looks great. Thats a tough choice haha. I would probably go with the one you hand painted. just to give the engine bay some color.

 

Yea I am leaning towards the stock cover....

Next item I really need to get is a shaved throttle body...i.e trac delete and sub tps removed.....I am not using them anyways....I deleted all the wires for them when building the harness....

 

Gold one for sure. I like your new tool tray too!

 

This shaved throttle body would be perfect for what I am looking for..

 

First official drive of the year....Glad to see weather is getting warmer out...

Did figure 8's in a parking lot for about 10 min.....To break in the TRD LSD.....and then took it out for a good drive to check everything....

I can tell a big difference with the TRD installed....it puts the power down much better...

Heat cycled new coated pieces as well.....

 

Looks real good, that engine cover looks better then the other one you had, glad its up and running.

 

Yea man OEM cover was the way to go....it really made it pop by painting the raised letters, numbers, and emblem..

It was awesome today....I have been away from boost for 6 months.....needed some to keep sane......

 

Sweet color scheme going on in engine bay. I will be taking notes lol.

 

Man it looks great all around. You take some of the best pictures of your ride. I am a fan of the factory cover as well. I lake the 2nd pic the best.

 

Good god that is so pretty and clean! Amazing. Last pic of full car and engine bay is $$$.
