HY!
Thanks Guys!
@lev.... i love the old Sony radios, the sound and the quality is much better as the new products
no *blingbling* only good sound and design.
Two days ago, i changed the spark plugs to Denso IK20 and closed the EGR
The spark plugs to change is not difficult, but i see on both last spark plugs water was inside!? and some spark plug was after 13 years rusty
here the pictures:
Driver side last
removing intake
Throttle Body
special tool for change the last spark plug
passenger side
EGR Pipe from the header to the intake manifold
header side
intake manifold side with plate

Hello!
Thanks i hope after the modification from the middle part from the exhaust, the sound is lexus like and not too loud.
This weekend, i installed with my brother the Supra Suspension. The springs are original Supra, the shocks Toyota-Bilstein with Toyota Partnumber
is good for me 
is "original" parts installed for the yearly technical check *g*
I´m was suprised, the front shocks and spring is the same size as the from my 97 SC400 the rear shocks are different.
The SC goes rear lower, and front maybe a little bit
here the pictures:
The Bilstein shocks have the ring for hi/low on some Bilstein shocks, but here only one position. i will make seperate positions on the front to go lower with a engine lathe (hope this is the right word *g*) i had done this on my Konis in my IS200 Turbo to go higher on the rear.
Its very easy to change the parts, easer as by the IS200/300
front parts..is the same size on the spring cup
rear is different and more lower
First step is done
This week, i will do the modification and the goodridge SS lines install
the stiffness is good, not to soft, not to hard the SC drives much better and feels good in curves

HY!
Yesterday, i worked aprrox 2 hours for the BFI Cover. It looks ok, but not perfect enpugh for me
Today came the new 3rd Converter for my SC from Redbackmuffler.com.au. We have a shop in Austria, he sales this parts
4" high, 3" in/out, 200 cpsi metal monolith good for 4.0L
I will install the IMF Header with Magnaflow pre-catalytics and the catalytic above as 3rd, the main Converter to go legal
2" in/out, 3" dia, 4" long, perfect to fit after the header in the pipe.
to see a difference of size and cpsi, here pictures from a pre-catalytic from a IS200 taked out from the exhaust manifold, and the main catalytic from the IS200/300
pre-converter IS200
Light test *ggg*
Magnaflow precat
IS precat
all 3
IS200/300 main cat

Hello!
I forgot the pictures after the 2nd selfmade groove on the front damper
it looks good on the front wheels 245/40, and on the rear 255/40
for next year is a set of IMF Headers and new catalytic converters here to upgrade
The temperature goes lower and the SC have his winter sleep, no salt and snow for my baby!

Thanks!
i have today 18935 miles, not more maybe tomorrow i do a small turn
The next upgrades would like install in the spring.
A Supra TT rear sway bar is on stock. I will install the SC400 springs on the front, the Bilstein-Supra Suspension have the same spring. In the rear, i will install new Kayaba Supra TT springs. The problem is today, the car is on the driver side aprrox 1,5cm lower as on the passenger side, looks like not good!
The damper are ok, but the springs are old.
Also i will modifiy the exhaust system with the IMF Headers, Magnaflow pre-cats and the redback 200 cpsi converter, flex pipes and 3" middle pipe
i hope the sound is good and not too loud, like original
And i will install a Supra LSD to have a good traction, is not funny in the rain or for small drifts with the open diff
Maybe the last upgrade is a Performance Converter for the transmission, but this is in the future
