Pictures, Questions, Plans
First, a pic of the whip as it is now:
Couldn't be any happier with her! After the new transmission things have been going great.
And now, here was what Santa brought me for Christmas:
That's right, brand new leather seats!!!
And heres the tail and engine just for kicks:
Dirty little engine.... oh well.
Now I have a question.. On the driver's side door, when it is closed or near closed, the speaker and foot light don't work at all. When I open the door all the way the speaker plays and the light illuminates. It can't be a fuse because they do work, just not when the door is close to being closed or closed all the way. And the trunk and gas button work at all times. I'm think it's a wire problem but I have no idea what to do about it. Still need to find out why my exhaust rattles at only 2.1k rpms... chime in if anyone knows why.
And for plans... I'm not going to turbo her, however I am going to go ahead with a water/alcohol injection. If anyone can find me a cheap cold start injector that would be greatly appreciated. And looks like as soon as I get some money I'm grabbing a pair of ksport coilovers and executive rims. Woot! Still lots to do with this car.. Tell me what ya'll think.

She looks clean and gorgeous!
What was your source for the seats? Is it Lexus (buttery) leather?
I wouldn't mind replacing my front seats.
What are you expectations with the water/alcohol injection? How do you anticipate tuning the ECU/engine once you get the water/alcohol injection system installed and functioning?

Cleanest interior I've seen!
I would have re upholstered my seats in brand new leather....if not for the extremely high mileage of the car.
How does the nice and soft leather feel....new car smell?

Not sure about the water injection thing, but i really like what your did with the fuse panels and c.c. box. Clean 3vz! Your seats are really nice too. Is that a new radiator?

You might have a pinched wire for the speaker/ light problem.
New leather looks clean. Does it make the rest of the interior look old?
All in all, a very clean car.

Surprisingly, it wasn't any big name shop or shop franchise. My dad found a man who does all of his own work out of a rented space and he guarantees it'll last forever.
Am I going to have to dis-assemble the door to get to where I need to be? Somewhat yes, because the leather on the doors is still a different shade, but it all looks good.
