paint jobs are for show cars. why repaint it if it will get f-ed up at the track any ways.

i wouldnt get those wheels. they look good but they are heavy. i thought i was gonna get a hernia picking them up. those rotas are about 25lb each.

im saving up for some rpf01's. 18x9.5+27 front, and 18x10.5+15 rear. that way i can roll the front and easily run a 255 tires. if i roll and pull the heck out of the rears i can run the 10.5 with a 265 or 275.

i think i will save money and buy the wheels in pairs. ill buy the rears first. that way i can take my supra tt rears and put them on the front. that way i can have a fat tire all around. then ill buy the rpf01 fronts

UPDATE...

got the subframe. took it apart alreayd and put almost all the prothane bushings in. all is left is make subframe collars, reassemble, and install.

93 sc400 subframe. came out of a 70K car.


this is the chassis harness i relocated. i didnt drive it hard because i knew it would rub and cause issues later down the line so i relocated it.

this is what i did.

take out the fuse box in the driver kick. it very straight forward. its 3 10mm bolts on the bottom and 1 10mm nut at the top. after you unplug all the connectors it comes right out.



this is what the wiring looks like once its out


take out the 2 10mm bolts inside the driver fender. pull the harness out




route the harness over the fender.




now its gone


reinstall the fuse box and plug everything back in. all done.

took me about 3 hours total to do it.

Any pointers on removing the large white connector? I don't understand how that one disconnects, as there are wires running from both ends of the "module". All the other connectors look straight forward.
