Default Time for a showoff!!! My new project car!

Hey, a lot of you have seen this car for sale in while ago from CL member GROOVINSC..
and I am the one who bought it
After having 4 SC400 before, I am so happy that I got one that I can really work on it.

Maybe you know the mods that he already put it the car, so I will list what I have put in!

I have 3 sets of wheels and what is on it is the set from My GS4, work Euroline DH....
I installed a SAFC but I have to put in my Boost gauge and air fuel gauge first to tune it properly, but I am setting it +1 +1 0 0 -1 -2 -2 as of now from my experience.
HID was installed and they are a lot better than Hologan or Silverstar which I have before.
97+ front grill which I got it from Dealer (125.00 )
Most important, I got Y pipe and Downpipe Plus straight 3" Tanabe catback race exhaust installed over the weekend. Man, took me 2 days to install the Y pipe and custom extended the Catback system which was made for supra. It was a pain but well worth it!! It really wakes up the power of my 1JZ. Only thing is since I am running straight 3' to 3.5 inch pipe all the way from the turbos, it sound sooo loud!!( kind of like it tho,, since I don't drive it often )
Also, some new supra water pump and new timing belt!!
That's it....
Anyway, just want to share with all of you...
BTW, I have 19' Work VS-XX on my GS now, you guys think it is better just switch them around??

Congratulations, I have seen that car in person a few times . And Groovin really took great care of it . And it is a beautiful SC. It seems like most people strip em before they sell . So thats awesome for you that he didnt.
We need to see pics though with both the wheel options to make a decision on wich is best. But I dont think you could be wrong either way!

Looks good. Do you have any pics of the exhaust piping? I'd like to see what you had to do to fab the Supra exhaust on the SC.

a section of 3.5" needs to be added to the mid pipe after the cats.
