Wow, NICE! What did you use to polish the intake manifold and all of the other 1jz parts? I got the rough coating off with a dremel on a part of mine, but can't get that shine with aluminum polish.

the intake mannifold isnt pollished, just the turbo piping and the TB. we uses lots and lots of water soaked sand paper, and followed it up with mothers metal pollish. as far as his sus. its in his sig. just shocks and there is one coil cut out of the stock front springs.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The suspension is from the jza80 (Supra) consisting of bilstien shocks with stock Supra springs (one coil cut up front).

Exhaust is HKS hi-power also from the jza80. Modified to fit the SC

Carbon fiber trim over the wood was used with a sheet of real carbon fiber (the brick style). Was a pain to make, but I did it all by hand. I still need to put a high speed buffer to it and get some clear coat on it.

The polishing under the hood was also all done by hand. No dremel or sander or anything. I used 80 grit to get it smoothed out then some 220 grit to get rid of the pits. After that it was a few shots of wet 1000 grit, then mothers aluminum polish with the buffer.
