Thanks man!

Got my radio in today.. Waiting on amp wiring kit, dash kit, harness, and amp to get in before I install. Also might as well order new LEDs for the climate control while I'm at it. Got the car tinted today. Sorry about cell phone pic, my camera got debo'd by my mother, lol

God this air conditioner is SO COLD! We played a game on our way to the movies last night. See how long we could stand the tundra (running the ac on full blast on "max cold) I had to keep the windshield wipers on the whole time and I couldn't see out any of the windows because the outside of the car was conditioning the whole way there... Hands went numb, my beard lost feeling.. Awesome.

Going to go ahead and do a tune up on my car. What kind of spark plugs do you guys reccomend for the 97 LS400? I know some cars are picky about what plugs it uses. I used to have a 240sx that only liked NGKs.

I haven't tested the A/C lately. The last reading it measured at 47F through the center vent with the IR thermometer. Plenty cold.

As a comparison, our house blows 52F at the main vent closest the condenser. The vents farthest away measure 54F so some cooling losses through the duct work. I recollect the A/C guy for the house saying I should typically see an ambient temp difference of 20-25F from intake to vent temperatures. I set the house for 79F so the 52F is on target.
