SCs are not that photogenic, especially white ones (i have one too), but in person they look great.

Steve,

Carbing strut tower bar. Had to order from Japan. Took forever. Fits ok with NA/T setup, but pretty tight fit.

Looking good! I like that overflow setup, I'd be copying that if I didn't have a FFIM.

Lot of work this week. More deadening in doors and roof. Car is getting to quiet. Motor upgrades on hold for a while as my personal life has changed. We'll see how that goes but plan is end of the year at latest for car to get motor upgrades. Had seat belts out today and soaked in a bucket of hot water and dawn soap. If you haven't done this I'd recommend it. Bucket turned black and mine didn't even look that dirty. Clean as can be now. Drivers belt going to get tension fixed tomorrow as I saw a thread on supra forums to fix it. Small stuff but I'm having fun working on the car again.

Did a lot more sound deadening this past weekend. Pulled the rear deck lid and really tried to make sure my port was sealed to the deck lid as good as possible. Got that accomplished.

Okay so it's time to play with the car some more. I've been looking into the Gaugeart piece that connects to my AEM. My Alpine deck only has one video input so I bought this (BR01) today and will be buying the Gauageart converter VGA to composite) tomorrow. I'm probably going to be moving to the Infinity EMS later so I'll wait to buy the CAN adapter till later. Now basically all my gauges will show on my Alpine screen and my music will still play.

That's a really slick setup. I wish the popformance unit looked that good.

Well the Gaugeart composite adapter came in to use on my Alpine deck. I have officially run out of room to install anything. I really didn't want to put it by the AEM as I wanted to isolate it the best I could for the video cable. Anyway, after trying a bunch of locations and it not fitting anywhere this is what I ended up with. I mounted it to the passenger side duct work and then ran the VGA cable and USB cable for power to the AEM. Video cable goes to a video selector switch that I can toggle back and forth between my DVD player and the gauges. Turned out well and the cool plastic will keep the piece from getting hot.
