I would just like to know about the gear shift. That is the only thing that I have wanted to change since getting the SC and the only aftermarket I can find is an unattractive chrome which looks similar to yours. Only difference is you have covered yours in leather which looks awesome. Any hints on where you got it done or could you point me in the right direction? Keep up the good work!!!

That little lexus is super cute!! I'd get it to match the the other car but lil Lexxxy gets jealous


^^Hot side and O/L's running back to the front.

^^One of the Aux oil pumps

^^ Im going to pull it apart and make it 'pretty'. Building a custom panel to cover all of that crap up.

Current trunk. This whole setup had to be raised about 3" (or so) to make room for extra floor and heat shielding. Another problem I had was the amps overheating before adding the fan. The square hump in the middle is the DVD changer. It used to sit under the old crossover panel. After the floor was raised it didnt fit anymore

I didnt have room to move it anyplace else, so i cut the floor out and made a cover to go on top of it.

Best looking interior I've seen. The black w/ silver accents is very nice. The rest of the car is ingenious as well (running one of the exhausts for the turbo is very cool).

I need to get a few magazines so that you can autograph them

Wow forget the magazines I like these pictures better! Very very nice work on your car. Sorry to hear you were sick. I am glad to see that you have recovered. Wow I am just speechless. I remember hearing about you since before I ever had my SC. A turbo SC4 must be a very difficult project. Congratulations on achieving your goal. Again very nice work. Keep up the great pictures.

really nice car, didn't even realize it was a turbo 400 either

i like the kit, clean and simple but flashy enough to stand out with the color. great job.

emerald, your car looks great as usual, i too have been researching these rear mounted turbos
im curious to hear how it performs... also whenever i need body work done im just going to drive up to washington so you can help me out ok... and while were at it we can make my interior full carbon fiber, sound good? i thought so
haha, j/k, but seriously tho... i really admire all the hard work youve put into your car! glad to see it paid off, in a sense, with not 1, but 2 magazine features!

Where do you get those pieces of carbon fiber? Also, where do you get the material to mold in the tv screen?
