Default SC300/400 Mods that are FREE

Hey peeps, How about we compile a list of Mods that can be done to our cars for Free (Just Labor that is).

The only one I can think of is stealing Lex Luthers car and swapping parts...
Any other ideas.

the only one I could think of is the front turning signals ON all the time and then flashing when turning, but for that one you still gotta get a cable..

one relay.... $5


set the relay to be always on with the ignition, when the turn signal pulses it goes to ground and turns the light off.

one relay per side. total cost...$10

Wow you pay $5.00 for relays?

I get them for $.80 each... SPDT Bosche Relays

BTW< who will do the BMW projector Retrofit for me? If you do if for free I'll let you borrow the Humvee for a weekend

You do realize you just contradicted yourself, right?

Anyway, if everyone just left their car stock, this would be a pretty boring forum (if it would even exist at all).

yes it would, but some mods are not worth the labor.
i dont see the point of a BFI, the head is running stock valve job, and injectors, so you dont need more air flow. Their has been proof that the stock intake/airbox is way better then any mod or aftermarket, on a stock head. That means toyota built the car right.
