so today i passed by JDM Orlando to look at the 2JZ-GTE and 1JZ inventory for my future build. Wile i was looking around i notticed an an MK4 divers side bucket seat, made an offer on the spot, and drove home with it cause Gaaawddaaaayyyumn my stock driver's seat was in hurrendous condition and i couldn't deal with it any longer. So this will hold me over for now until i get some different seats later on..

MK4 Supra drivers side seat


since the supra seats bolt right up, i just pulled out my old seat, and proceeded to bolt the supra seat reusing the same 5 factory bolts...


im surprised at how low and light weight the seat is. when i got rid of the stock SC seat i lifted the both for a weight comparisson. omg the SC seat was ridiculously heavier. i cant wait to get rid of the passenger side now.







Next up is black carpet and rear seats...

Car is looking reallllly nice man You gotta let me know where this JDM Orlando is located. Looks like I may have to hit this place up in the near future.

Everyone over at the UCF meets that has an SC is waiting to see your ride bro. I have been telling them your ride was getting painted so we better see you out there next wednesday so we can have a look...haha.

I smell a photoshoot in the near future after I get my front brake situation complete soon.

Sup Eric, yeah JDMO is close to Tradeport Dr. they're on Pine Ave. I'll PM you the phone number and address. they got *** loads of engines, front clips, and other used jdm parts. Yesterday i saw a Nardi steering wheel which i was tempted to ****** up too but i already have one. they got a couple 2J's and 1J's there decently priced.

I'll def make it to the next wednesday meet. hopefully i'll have my LS calipers installed before then.

as far as the photoshoot, i'm ready whenever you're ready

Ahhh I see....yea I looked them up online but I'm assuming they don't list everything they have from what you have said. May have to head over there sometime if I'm in the neighborhood.

I'm with you on the LS calipers too....hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will get it done so then we can take some nice shots with my good camera I got a few places in mind around Orlando that would make for some great shots. We will discuss more details as we get closer to a date. Keep up the great work and hope to see you wednesday.

I received my polyurethane Daizen bushing kit yesterday, so i went to work on my steering rack earlier today. Here's what i found...

the bushings were almost GONE..


it's a miracle i didn't kill myself driving on these things..


cleaned up the installation area before installing the bushings..


comparison of my old bushinsg with the new ones...


i didn't take any pics of them installed because u can't really see them once they're installed really.

Anyways, i highly recommend this upgrade if you have not done it already...
