OHHHHH i WANT ONE SOOO BAD

I just like the OEM look vs. the aftermarkets out there, and the bezels are perfect for it.

Maybe i'll bring in a Real Windom in a couple of years once the 3ES hits 15years old+ [Canadian JDM import rules]

Haha cool, I'm well aware of the HD6900 "Cayman" Series of ATI hardware ^^


re-reading your quote... supercharging would be way out of my budget... not to mention the fact that my car is not the 3.0 1MZ-FE but instead its a 2.5L 2MZ-FE instead, I don't think supercharging is even possible for my vehicle.

Update for you all.

I got the strut bearings, part #90903-63014, and now everything is ready for the install, the coilover I had stripped, I managed to get the nut back onto the stripped shaft by heating the lock nut, and it went on without a problem.

So all that's left to do now is to get the install done. I'm going to aim for this weekend, if I can find the time to do so.

And YEP! thats a factory unit with DVD Japan Navigation as well as TV,

Here's a close up picture of the unit if you're interested:

On the Japanese Toyota Windom, yep! this is indeed an option. the sound system in this car is also very very impressive as well.

I'm not sure what the USDM equivalent would be however.

I must have the worst luck ever... my car's rear seats are out, car is jacked up and I'm getting ready to take off bolts for the brake lines, sway bar etc.


Then... all a sudden.. it starts to RAIN . . . so here I am, running with my back seats to put inside of the house to prevent them from being soaked. and my car, sitting on jackstands.

Well heres to waiting for the rain to let up so I can get back to work. I'll probably give my back seats a quick cleaning since they are out now while i wait for rain to go away.

Well, half of driveway is now flooded, the car still on jack stands, and its still raining....

I guess when it stops i'll just put the seats back in, tires back on, and just take it to the shop during the week to get the installation professionally done. The weather is not cooperating with me today.

Yay for tropics! one minute 98F outside, next minute Torrential downpour that lasts forever.

I'll have to recuperate the cost that i spent on the instal, to have the alignment done. I was hoping to use the install money for the alignment.
