Seats actually look nice...and I see in the background that your SC is DWP so it will bring a nice theme to the interior as well

installed poly diff bushings without taking the diff out, it was a challenge cz my mechanic friend is a typical lazy mechanic lol. cut the fuel pressure regulator wire for the auto trans, car shifts mad awesome now. looked into the ECT sensor, kinda hard to get to it because i can't take my intake house out because i have a strut brace. wired some interior LEDs in for the footwells, need to move em back further cz you can still see them. car is rust free now! just lots of touch body work and then going in for paint and plastidip

Dude my sc400 has a SC300 instrument panel, don't trip on what my needles say. I don't know what's normal, I do know my tach reads way below what the engine actually is doing...

Replaced the tires with some high-performance Kuhmo Ecstas (I think). While I was at it, I swapped the rims from the stock spoke rims to some 18' RX8 rims. Spacers would make it fit better, not that far yet. Please excuse the dirt and brake dust on the wheels, it will be cleaned!

Removed the heat shield that was rattling due to the rusted spots breaking on one side. Nuts were rusted so bad I had no choice but to break it off, which was very easy.

Cleaned the entire engine bay since Toyota left it pretty dirty after doing my timing belt. Also cleaned my oem wheels, they shined up pretty nice with simple green. While I was at it I cleaned a few things that usually go untouched but needed attention like inside the gas cap area, and I put the sunroof all the way back and cleaned inside there as well as lubed the tracks.

Oil pressure light came on last weekend. Oil change fixed it. She was running a quart low. I'm guessing the last oil change might have shorted me. 1UZ engines just don't have oil leak problems-I am on my 3rd SC now.
