I'm thinking these are my future plans.
97+ conversion
mount the gauges in a better place
fix all oil leaks
replace crank pulley with a dampened pulley
get one of the SSR's fixed
make sure the body is free of any scraches and such
re-badge the car where they are missing
LSD or open diff instead of welded
finish the interior
just basically make the car as clean as possible.
I really like the car and I don't see myself giving it up any time soon! But then again I have said that with many cars. I'll take a vid once I get the clutch broken in, about 400 more miles....it's killing me

Well. I had an interesting encounter today. I was driving and notticed an extreme vibration comming from the rear end of the car. I got out of my car and found out that 4 out of 5 lug nuts popped off, and broke 4 studs with it. When it got on the tow truck it then broke the last one. This is what it looked like on the side of the road.

I blame the crappy Advanced Auto lug nuts that I used. They were like plastic and just broke off when I was going around a turn. It just really sucks. I made sure they were torqued down but apparently thats not good enough.

Are those is300 wheels? you need lexus/toyota oem lugs to hold that rim in place. I use to have IS300 wheels on my sc300. All aftermarket lugs I used would cut into the studs because that rim needs oem lugs to hold it. You should have been hearing a metal to metal grinding noise as you drove around town. Thats what I heard when mine were cutting in. I replaced the lugs with OEM and it was fine after. Dang =(. Glad your safe tho could of been in a accident like that.
Remember OEM Rim = get OEM lugs.

PS- you need a current vid of this thing pulling.
PPS- you'll need to part this car out to see 13k or even close IMO. (like has been said by others in the beginning)
