Ok well suprastick I have not yet driven it with it installed so I don't know but I will say if it sucks I might be going getrag no matter how much I don't want another stick.
I am currently trying to get all the bugs worked out take it for a ride and have some fun then bring the car back and tear it down for paint sometime in June. I can't decide white or black at the moment tho. But the bay will be shaved tho. You should no be able to see a single wire when I am finished. I am installing a new 1 gal. Catch can, rad res, and ps res all going to be custom Billet to. So idk should look pretty good tho when done at least that's what I am hoping.

No guys because my title says sc400 on it and I'm not sure bout the expecting the 1uz comment. Didnt reqlize they made a GTE uz motor lolz. it is a 71mm turbo which is bigger than 99% of the turbos on the cars that club Lexus owners have so make the title perfect! No offense guys but true most run 67mm. Which is great. I know I'll be flamed for that later. Oh well so be it. Anyways update polished valve covers and got dress up bolts in.
Here is the before pics of the valve cover. I did the polishing to get there where they were but now I am high polishing them.
Making a new cooling plate here soon for in between the radiator and frame support. Then I will steal wickedsc's idea and use billet supra mounts.
Radiator res being installed. Need to cut the bracket and fit it right still but she is getting there.
