GPS coverage must be much better in the USA! and no speed cameras in every tunnel?

GPS signal is excellent. The speedometer has a 12v "hotstart", so I have signal within 3 seconds of the car turning on. And I wish I could find a tunnel to drive my car in, closest thing here is a group of underpasses.

I've been avoiding doing research on the SC swaps for fear of this...

Was there no way to run the factory speedometer using the T56?

Installed the TT chrome wheels with new tires and spacers, and painted the front lip with high gloss SEM paint. Man what a difference.

Yes, I had the factory cluster working using Dakota Digital SGI-5 and SGI-8. Although speedometer was off, could easily be corrected, I just prefer the feel and better response of aftermarket gauges. Not to mention, I was able to eliminate more factory wiring from behind the dash.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I'm going for more of a factory stock look so I hope to utilize the stock gauges once I drop in the LS3.

The Speedhut gauges are nice gear and really good customer support, I have them in my 1uz-fe powered MX62 Wagon

Pulled the seats and interior out....It was really nasty underneath the carpet and around the center console where drinks have been spilled...etc.



Here is the corner of my basement that is slowly accumulating parts from the SC.




SC is patiently awaiting engine hoist to arrive.....2jzge is almost ready to come out.

No problem, if you have any questions on the swap feel free to drop me a line. Looking forward to seeing the swap

That they are. You have any pics of your setup? I would like to see that.
