Carputer
Focal front and rear components on JL 300/4
IS300 steering wheel
Supra Seats
STI shiftknob
LS400 Brakes w/ Stainless Lines
Strut Tower Bar
97+ Tail lights

Currently Working on:
1J Swap from JHOT
JL 12W7 on JL 500/1

I'm interested in doing the IS300 wheel as well. Good luck with the 1J swap. Is the car auto or manual?

This is an original 5spd, so I will be utilizing my stock transmission for a while, then eventually moving to the R154..



Heres a couple pics from my interior thread. Most panels are SEM pained Black. Headliner and rear deck and made of black Claiborne suede...














I have to take a couple new pics of my interior has changed (carputer, black door panels, etc)


Also black carpet is on the way....
