Nice SC you got there. How much did you get it for? Any plans in the near future like single turbo upgrade? Other than that.. It looks great.

very nice, the dash layout is perfect. my only suggestion is to clean up the engine bay a little. just some degreeser, and a bit of pollishing, and your set.... just look at the difference it made on chino's car.

Thanks guys...

Mr. SC300 - of course Just a tiny single turbo is planned for the spring, I'm looking to stay around the 58mm size. One of these weekends I'll put in my methanol kit I already have built for it...I love that stuff....other plans are to finish up w/some stereo work.

got_trd - yup HKS type S

ki_soarer - hey man...thanks again for your help when I was checking out some SC's. No kidding about cleaning up the eng bay!! I never really noticed how dirty it was until I looked at those pics...it'll get cleaned this weekend.

cherplex - Yeah, '97 skirts should get added right? Already has 97 front / rear. I'm not looking for any wild kits.

TurboTeg - thanks

VJ RC51 - Heh...right on...it's been a long time, I've forgotten how many damn lines stock twins have...geez.

jpvarghese - Actually, that's the first mod I've done to the car. The original owner just had the deck & EQ in there...and since the opening is 2.5 DIN, there was a big space underneath it and it didn't mount up nice on the sides either. The evc screen and brain were just kinda stuffed under it all. While it did the job - I wanted something alittle cleaner for a Lexus. Off it went to the local audio shop: www.imagineaudio.com - a few days later...ta-da! It's actually wood, wrapped in resin to seal the wood, etc. It got rid of the ashtray too AND the little "open" tab that is on the OEM shifter plate. I think it came out nicely. Better yet, it was designed to be reused when I upgrade to either a 2 DIN full screen deck, CarPC...something with a big 'ol screen...it'll fit right in - no re work.
