Final stages of removing the wheel hub. Two little lines are stopping me - ebrake and ABS speed sensor, I think. Unsure of how to remove those but it looks like a few bolts, I'll do it tomorrow.

Had the exterior detailed. Cleaned, polished, waxed and some scratches removed. Trying to get the paint to look better on all the bright sunny days we get here in the PNW. Started work on the NST short shifter install. Have to go under the car to finish disconnecting the factory shifter. The cars up on jack stands again. Also need to change the oil.

took off the front lip because it was completely torn into little pieces. broke like 9 of the 14 or something bolts holding it because they were all completely rusted.

also swapped the front turn signals with LEDs and got the flasher to work, no more hyperblinking and LEDs all around

It started raining as I pulled up to the house. I put the LS in the garage to keep it clean. I'll wash the SC tomorrow.

After a 3 months of hybernation, battery relocation, enkei rpf1s installation and left a spare tire garage so I took her out for a ride.... I couldn't believe how light my front end and steering feels is unbelievable guys. I feel like the rear is heavier than the front, and wasn't used the the weight transformation!!! Nevertheless I had a 20 min blast today, it's just feels so awesome just driving this lexus sc400. She is dusty and dirty from sitting ...
Oh I removed the back seats too

Brake caliper bolt fell out caliper lost it when I needs to stop. Almost hit a few people. Went to parts store 1 mile away with hand brake. $20 in bolts and lube she back on road.

I blame pot holes for
2 tires "confirmed"
1 wheel "confirmed"
Wheel bearing
These bolts
Front valance decimated "confirmed"

Did my yearly oil change. Completed the install of the NST short shifter. I'll leave a more detailed post about this in the thread for this shifter. I haven't actually driven the car yet.

Tomorrow is the driver's side. Should be a little bit easier.
