Decided to paint my spark plug cover gloss black (high temp). Sorry for the dirty bay. I'll get around to cleaning it soon enough
And got in new hood shocks, but for some reason ppl are telling me its upside down. But this is the way the old shocks were installed so I put the new ones in the same direction

from a ls430 so i assume that its the same direction as the SC..

I'll lend a hand on the clutch install even though i've never done it before.. i also got some tools that we could use.

**Yeah i just checked my shocks and you got yours on the wrong way**

Still didnt get the shock out? I'll bring my allen wrenches

Armando and Mike at LTS Mastertech in Pasadena could do it for you. http://ltsmastertech.com/

BTW, is that the SC that was owned by Tony at one point, years ago?

Darren
Gilbert Motor Service
1919 W. Valley Blvd.
Alhambra, CA. 91803
626.282.0644

Darren installed my Supra LCA, coilovers and all bushings and other things. He knows what he does and his price is very very fair. This is one of those shops which allow you to bring your own parts and Darren takes care of the rest. He is a one man show, you gotta call him or stop by to make an appointment. Tell him, Dom with light blue Lexus SC400 sent you.

The varrstoens are sold already, not going to run them on my car. As for the JP neckpads, i had them on my GS and its really comfortable so I transferred it onto the SC

I believe so, the previous owner mentioned something about a guy named tony I believe. My memory isnt too good coz he only said it like once, so I'm not too certain
