Sweet job! When your ready to do the LS400 BBK up front let me know. I have a nice set of LS400 calipers for sale. Great bang for the buck mod. Might just help you from hitting curbs again! email if interested: draytonwebb@yahoo.com
Yea I hate the panda theme, so glad those wheels are gone. Well actually I kept the three to use for drift spares.

That could have definately helped haha. I would get them, but I still have a lot of products to buy to get her back on the road first.
O.K. but you will be sorry....these are nice and a heck of a deal...!!

Hey guys quick question, looking at buying a manual shifter boot from drift motion, but mine has the heated and trac control switches towards the top. But the one driftmotion sells either doesn't have it or the one that they offer for the heated seats looks to be at the bottom and not top. What has anyone that has the same thing as me done? And no I'm not swapping to manual yet, but I HATE the shifter assembly looks for autos, and no I don't want to swap to gated shifter from the '97+ SC's.

Exactly, why take the hassle of swapping it over then spending the extra dough to go single. When I can just go single from the get go, seems a bit easier, and more of a learning process IMO. My friends are all telling me to just got GTE swap, but they don't know that the GE & GTE are basically one in the same (internally at least) besides the oil squirters (which people end up removing when they get in 800HP+ range) and the intake manifold, the only real downside to NA-T is the distributor, but thats not a huuge deal with me, and I don't mind.

Your biggest regret in the long run will be having an old ****ty manual transmission that's notch to shift, hard to shift or even worse grinds. Getting a low(er) mileage JDM manual transmission like the soarer r154 that comes 1jz engines makes the deal worth it IMO over NA-T.

Quick update - Car is still down 
I may have tweaked my subframe, but I should be getting everything replaced on Monday, but I accidently broke my garage when shutting it last week, so even if my car gets up and running I wouldn't even be able to pull it out of the garage since it's broken.
But I'm not discouraged, and I'll be starting my new project. I ordered SEM Black Interior Paint from stockwiseauto.com so I'll be updating my thread once my car is driveable, then also when I start doing the interior color swap.
Update hopefully Tuesday with good news
