Is the most recent purchase getting a vvti 2jzgte swap as well? Can't beat a black on black GS. Nice pick up. The prices are excellent on these cars nowadays.

I decided to move the gauges and boost controller into the stock CD Changer location, keep the GS looking clean for when the black sport design interior arrives Friday.

Set the record for quickest / fastest 2nd gen GS300 tonight with a 11.2 @ 130 MPH (letting out too) This car will go mid 10's with the setup I have now once I get good tires.

Well I bit the bullet yesterday and dropped $3000.00 for a new Gear Vendors gear splitter / overdrive. My car will now be a 6 speed manually shifted automatic with trans brake. I got tired of driving on the highway at 3000 RPM at 67 MPH so with this unit my RPM will drop to 2200 at the same speed saving a bunch in fuel, and if I ever do any 1 mile runs I wont have to worry about running hard in overdrive as these things are Conservativly rated at 1200 HP! There are guys running in the low 6's with these units. I love having a bullet proof transmission that I don't have to worry about.
