SC400TT Project Car
It was running today, and very well indeed...Only, the damned rack and pinion was leaking badly...Go figure...
I do not understand that one because it was not leaking at all a year and a half ago...But who knows...one of those two previous loser shops must have damaged it. I am having it rebuilt. So, another day or two to actually get the car....I am going over tomorrow to film it running with boost.....
Once the rack is done, I wil drive it away.

Well, at least 99% of the car will be new or rebuild when it is finished
I bought a remaned Rack from Lexus...They had it in stock...It will be installed today....
Finally, all my gauges and my boost controller came in today as well....
Everything is coming together...

dude post the vid already !!! Stop ****-teaseing !!
Gang: I was at XtremeBoost yesterday afternoon...They had the car running well, but the BOV continued to open during idle...This is not good, so we finally decided to go with a different BOV...HKS instead...YOu should see the air filters...Unbelieveable. I will post pics...Car sounds incredibly mean when acclerated, idle is virtually silent....
Here are a few pics of the badges ploished, but not yet painted.
