Hmmm. not a bad idea. My only issue is that I have a matching woodgrain RX300 steering wheel and you can't exactly wrap it. I don't think it would look good with a woodgrain wheel and this diamond stitch graphic overlayed on the wood. But maybe I'll try it out and let you know.

the highs are smoked vinyl, the headlight housings are painted, and yes im hiding the holes, as soon as my car is professionally painted ill have them filled and be soarer correct.

to start the day off i took some polishing compound and buffed the passenger side headlight and both center high beams.... i have been getting a rear bulb out signal when ever i have the turn signal on and step on the break so i investigated this situation... turns out that the lower driver side break light socket was severely covered in rust so i cleaned it.

the driver side blinker has been a pita since i got the car ever 4 days i have to re position the bulb in the socket or it loses all contact and blinks like 7's till i fix it again...


while in the trunk i pulled the damn cellular phone ecm (yes i plugged the 2 connectors together and checked power) as well i removed the cd changer.... im tired of it turning on everytime i start the car...


next step is pulling am amp rating on the stock electrical (ac on stock stereo all the way up) to see what the limits for a new stereo are...

Got her a pair of achiles tires on the front. While the tires were off, massaged the front wheel wells ( rubs a bit on full turns) degreased and painted them. Cheked tie rods, checked the wiring harness and any other stuff that I could checked around wheel well area.

My gf's old white celica helping me pick up tires at the tire shop

Ps: not today, yesterday but forgot to post

today i found out titanmotorsports can order the 1jz intake manifold gasket... and they claim they can get it from toyota. however whenever i provide the actual part number to toyota and lexus they can't seem to order it. what gives? does titanmotorsports have some inside man that can get JDM parts only?

ugh... they want 73 bux for it. just ONE gasket.

Just like King Philip did in an earlier post, I bought myself a Lexus leather case for my owner's manual, but this one is from a 2008 IS250.
