My motivation to wrench in winter is ultra low. I am collecting parts to revive and push the car to the next level.

The clutch unfortunately needs to be replaced but upgrading to a twin disk.

I need to step down to a 275/60/15 and probably roll the fenders. Also need to install my ARP studs in the back as the stock lugs go like half way through the weld ones lol

Hi Guys!

Figured out why my ambient temp sensor wasn't reading. The guy who made my harness did not pin #7 on EB1 at the fuse box so i spliced it into Pin 1 of the AC Connector and everything works flawlessly now!!




I did the diagnostic, got code 12. In the troubleshooting it says to check pin's TAM and SG at the HVAC unit. Voltage was out of spec.

From here i continuity tested from TAM at the ambient sensor, got a response... Good

Did the same test from SG, no response. Ok.. so i start going down from IR1, into II1, yeah its connected ok, get to EB1 pin #7. No pin!

Tore apart my stock harness and did some testing and that's spliced by factory into pin #1 of the AC connector.

Anyway if the car's ambient sensor isn't working the auto temp won't work for crap, now my AC BLASTS!!


Also got the car lifted up 1/2" or so, rolled the fenders, ARP Studs installed for the Weld wheels. Looking mean

Car is fully tilted on the drivers side so clearance looks wonderful:


Extra shots after the roll:
Welds are S71 15x10 (unknown BS but "supra spec") 275/60/15 MT STREET SS.







The tires lift the car up an extra 2" in the rear lol, its SUPER nice to lift up now, before i had to do the jack shuffle to get it up in the air.

Cut, trimmed, and install all of my underbody plastics, wanted some bumper stability. Not sure why I was surprised the undertray fits perfectly almost lol




Left her with my buddy for a week for a full paint correction, look how gorgeous she is!!
He removed all the touch up paint that was clearly the wrong color and over applied on the front end.




Here's what it looked like prior:
