updated my post instead of replying by mistake lol. 2jzgte non vvti into 95sc300 either wrong temp or starter type. I made a mistake when ordering. My other mechanic friend called without any issues and had the replacement connector within 2 days. Matt picked up the car last week to button her up.

Thanks for the reviews guys.
Tweaked went through the harness and found no issues with it. They ohmed everything out (just as myself and Mike @ One Motion did) and everything checked out.

I'm pretty disappointed at that because I was hoping it was the harness. The only suggestion Cam has is to eliminate the traction control wiring altogether.

The harness came in last week. I have not had time to go up to the shop and put it in and Mike has been busy as well, but he got around to routing it in yesterday. Strange waiting on a shop to do work since I normally do everything myself. Today we should be able to try it and see if it cures what ailes. Send up a prayer!

Come let's get the sc running. If I remember from zilvia you've been neglecting the SC to drive something with a rear engine

OBEEWON

Man, nothing more in the world do I want to drive than my SC, but I'm close to giving up.

Harness has been in for a few weeks and the car will not even start anymore.

For some reason at ACC the car cranks. At start position it just clicks. Strange. The only thing that has changed is the new Tweaked harness.

Mike is attempting to talk to tweaked about it.

So Mike said he's been trying for weeks to get Tweaked on the phone to fix the harness. He couldn't so he took it on himself and got it fixed. So now the car starts and doesn't flood.

I got to say I'm not pleased with Tweaked. I probably wouldn't buy again. The quality is good but not worth $1000. Especially since there was a mistake and they did not make enough effort to correct it.

So even though the engine started it's still backfiring. Mike did a leak down test and two intake valves on cylinder 5are stuck open.

1j is non interference and the timing has always been spot on so the odds are oxidation from sitting got the valves stuck. So I found a method to free them without removing the head. You take the cam out, and put rope in the. Ylinder. Put that cylinder to TDC to push the valves up. Soak them in lube and use a drill to spin them free and done. I hope to try it.

New harness was messed up, no stuck valves.

nice man its about time. sucks that it was your harness the whole time, and the fact that you bought it brand new. electrical problems and wiring issues can be so frustrating to diagnose. cant wait to see the updates on this thing. i finally found ur ig and started following you, im ruby1j on there. question: what was your method for rolling the rear quarter panels like that? i need to roll mine a little more and i want that flare up like that so i can put some wider wheels in the rear

OBEE i'm on the other side of the Gardens. you gotta let me stop by and hear it. and i'd like to bounce some ideas off ya too.

oldManTan

that looks bad ***, i'm not a fan of stretch or stance, but as long as it looks mean with a fat *** i'm cool with it. i just love a wide *** stance. i can't afford rims so i'm just getting spacers to make mine wider lol. good stuff though. don't listen to anyone, it's your car it means nothing to anyone else. i love haters, it's the funniest **** in the world.

OBEEWON

Yeah it does suck but what can you do right? At least its running now I guess. As for the quarters I used a fender roller. I might need to go a bit more, these 19s are hitting the fenders. I'll check you out on InstaG.

Are you really!? Cool man! I will be in my garage tonight. Come check me out. Once I get a passenger seat I will take you for a spin.


Thanks man. I don't like the whole stance thing either. But I've always liked wide wheels and it happens to be popular at the moment, but I hope the fad passes soon.

FINALLY I found some OEM shaped mats with the retainer holes. I paid $94 for these shipped or something like that. I got a heel pad as well to keep it from getting a hole in the center.





Some period correct ride out music for the SC.


Sorting out the Ganador wiring.


LED City lights and the equivalent to the scarlet A. I officially have the disease.


Bumper body work. Hole in the M3 bumper and shaving emblem and plate holes in the Lexus bumper.







My spray booth.



And other randomness.
