Found a turbo timer, boost and water temp gauge on an old Z31 in the junkyard. Gonna install them once I score the boost gauge. In my haste... I left it as they were closing. It was an autometer too.

Gotta find a harness adapter for the Greddy Turbo Timer now.

I made hub-rings to install my new wheels and tires, installed them, installed a late-model roof-mount amplified antenna with a powered motorola cable adapter, installed a new DVD double-din receiver, and discovered the previous owner lied about the speakers in the car (supposed to be MB Quarts and a JL sub) and after digging in the trunk I found an amplifier hack-job my 16-year-old wouldn't do!


Nylon 60.1 to 70.1 hub rings


Before the outer trim was installed


This was a ***** to install, but it pulls in stations from 3 states!

I'm not posting pictures of the mess I found in the trunk, ugh!!!

Went to the junkyard and found a grey interior SC. Got pretty much everything I needed (front & rear grey seat belts, 3-pc grey visors, grey sunroof/dome light control module, driver & passenger grey lower door jam trims, grey hazard button, grey ac climate control & volume buttons, & a working ash tray with cigarette lighter) out in order to do my interior theme. Now I need to buy black carpet, redo my headliner & rear seats then my interior will be pretty much complete

I got tired of looking at my faded B pillars. I have the Toyota Soarer rain guards and I was scared to remove and crack them just to repaint these pieces. I can't get into the details, but I customized the pillars with a diamond stitch look.

Two layers of vinyl. The bottom layer is the diamond stitching cut from a plotter, and the top layer is a single sheet of 3M matte black vinyl wrap material. With the second layer, it gives an "impression" look. Looks better in person.

Nothing very sexy for me, but I got the plastic plugs in and tightened on all seat rails, and detailed the backseat area while I had the seats out.

Emptied the change from the seats into the center console, noticed just how vomitous the smell from my air freshener was, and pondered the meaning of life.

Looks mean

Soarer emblem on the back should go on the right side...but maybe you're just trying to fill in those Lexus badge holes. Either way, car looks aggressive. Did you paint the headlight housing or are they wrapped with a tint vinyl?
