Wow, the mock-up looks fresh and classy!
Thanks man... I'll work on the airbag light later, busy redoing the exhaust manifold

Man , I don't know what to say about your catch can setup . Those are freaking long lines and a lot of bends. I hope those bends specially those 90 degrees fittings won't cause any back pressure that refrain the crank case pressure to be relieved. I hope not .

I know you don't want to take out your charcoal canister. Wouldn't it be better if that canister was the one you relocated ?

I haven't relocated mine .. I took it out actually since my catch can is on that area ..but I would like to re-install my charcoal canister somewhere else.

Yours was a 1997 right ? I thought the 97+ had that square charcoal canister and is actually installed behind the passenger fog lamp. That is where I removed what was on the 97 SC. But I have no space there because of my IC piping, air filter , tranny filter and one of the tranny oil cooler... you should have space there.

Yes 1997... not square, same as pre -97. You got me thinking to relocate the charcoal canister behind the front bumper
You probably have an aftermarket ones on that 1997 of yours

Hmmm , probably not original. Mine was an SC400 though . It looks the same as that from LS400 . But it was well bolted and brackets were as though original . It was right there beyond the fog lamp when I took it out. Even wiring for it on the harness was original. Pipings and hoses where routed and fastened well like original. I don't know .

you should relocate your charcoal canister to the back of the car. The vent tube starts back there. It would be a lot easier plumbing wise to put it in the back of the car.
