ACleanSC4, that Soarer airbag cover is cool!

Hey, I have been meaning to ask you - - I see in your sig line that you have what you call a "Levoc Hybrid ****" - - I have searched for a replacement for the shift **** in my '93 SC4 (I've seen the OEM shifter described as "dildomatic" - perfect description) and found the Levoc for Toyotas with an OD switch - is that what you're using? Was it a big project to make it fit? When you're shooting more pix of your interior, can you grab an image of the **** and post it?

TIA for your feedback - -

The Levoc **** was a ****** to do. It fit and looked nice but would always loosen up on me. It did that because it didn't use those 2 major screws that are used with the stock ****.

I now have it off and am looking into getting another one to do some experimenting with. I know for sure that these ***** with the OD button works GREAT on a 94 ES300.

Thanks man, great pic. That's the same Levoc style I had found.

So the electrical plug and the top button all fit fine, it was just the base screws that were a problem? Did the Levoc fit down as far on the shifter stalk as the stock ****? I can't quite tell from the pic - did you use the plastic tube that covers the stock screws under the Levoc?

TIA for posting whatever you figure out next, ****-wise - the stock setup fits my hand ok, but I just think it is butt-ugly - would like that Levoc in black with burled wood

DKM? I got it from Australia. Along with some badges =)

As for the ****, it doesn't fit down exactly like the stock ****. I believe there's a little metal piece that you kind of have to tape onto your stock internal piece.

The problem with the Levoc ****, is that over time, the bottom metal piece you see, loosens up from the top piece. It's kind of hard to explain, but quality wise on this product is about 7 out of 10.

Here is the front emblem I just installed today. I think it's pretty centered...

In Australia some people would kill for a lexus steering wheel - we all have the flying lion emblem - most people take the front flying lion off and the Soarer from the back, lose them in the shed, fit new Lexus badges and wish they had a lexus steering wheel.

I reckon 80% of the people in Australia (UK too probably) would swap their flying lion steering wheel for your Lexus steering wheel faster than you guys can say "sweeeeet!"

Too bad you all live so far away!

A lot would swap the digital dash for your instruments too(but they don't plug in).

How much would it cost me to get one of those Peter?

I also want the camera that mounts in the rear of the car. I want to convert the entire car to JDM Spec as much as I can. I know I can't do the engine, but as much else as possible.

Send me an email if you can get one for me or if you need Lexus badges or parts for your Soarer. I'll trade you anything you want!
