I'm not yet done with my suspension/wheels set up and I'm already working on a new project....




I just finished cleaning the parts up and detailing them for that brand new shine!

Props to michael63 for the shifter!

Damn where do I begin? Pulled a rear glass from a dead sc and got it installed for CHEAP, made a ground kit for my 1uz (pulls freakin hard and mpg went up!) And made a heat shield for my intake...

Installed a new double din and took my radio center console trim off to shave the old radio volume **** and cup holder. Going to re-do it black.

Picked it up from my mechanic, after the water pump went out. $1200 for a tow, waterpump, timing belt, left cam gear, two cam seals, and a distributor rotor.

$420 in parts
$665 labor
$40 tax
$99 tow.

put in more LED lights into the cluster. found out that the high spots that normally reflect incandenscent lights dont work so well with Light Emmiting Diodes.

might have to drill them out to get the light to disperse evenly.

helped a friend today get a SC300 for 2800. runs good. gonna get a 1 or 2jz GTE swap soon.

Cleaned and conditioned the leather interior... and the glass. Gah! ::exhausted:: Looks nice, though

Used Lexol, in case anyone is wondering.
