I have made up my mind on what color Red Mamba Two will be. It will be from the 85-86 Supra MK3 , Super Deep Red 3F2 . I have seen a MK3 at Speed For Sale the other day with that dark colored red , it was really awesome. It is darker than the original color of Garnet Pearl Red or Barcelona Red that I originally wanted for this car. Someone also asked how does the flare / pull look from the rear , pictures would follow below. BTW , this car doesn't have coil overs that is why it rides so good also . It still has Tokico Shocks with the RS-R Lowering Springs.

Thanks
NOW it makes me wonder whether I will do the same pull and flares for the old man tan . Well , probably not since I have already started flaring Red Mamba One too. Nice to have some variations between my SCs.

Gerry have you considered do a vinyl wrap on the cars....its would be much cheaper than paint. Priced out it could be around $500-$600 if you do the wrap yourself.
Nice work on the pull in the back....its looks awesome......when are you getting your new wheels and tires?

For the wrap , I would prefer a paint job. I want to learn and it will be a skill that would always come very handy since I have 16 vehicles right now. A paint job can always be useful.
Just remember you need to push that wheel well ceiling also. If you don't , all you can get is a 1" lip pushed outward which you see in many SCs which for me doesn't look good. I guess to each their own.

Someone at Jim's thread wanted to use the Cruise Control Combination Switch for something else since he was taking away his cruise control motor at the engine bay. Yes ... it is very possible to make use of that combination switch on the steering wheel for something else.
The Cruise Control has the a) ON-OFF .... b) Cancel ... c) Set/Coast ... d) Reset/Accel . They are basically push buttons, ON when pressed and OFF when released. Only the button a)ON-OFF can be used without modifying the combination switch internally. The other three have resistors that have to be bypassed and each of them should have their individual wire to use them individually or separate from each other.
I have modified the combination switch internally so I have all 4 push button available for my use. On top of it , I installed another modified combination switch on the left side so I can use the b)Cancel button on each side for my UP and DOWN Transmission shifting . In short , they are now my paddle shifters to shift the transmission of the SC with the 2jzgte VVTi by flipping the b)Cancel button upwards (left side of steering wheel to shift down & right side to shift up). I also have 3 extra buttons on each side which I can use for whatever purpose I may need
Thinking of doing the same for Black Pearl so I can eliminate all the push buttons I needed for my direct port nitrous , intercooler spray , nitrous purge and others. The current push buttons I have on Black Pearl are all on a panel at the center console box. That means I don't have to take away any of my hands from the steering wheel to reach a push button.

Since our steering wheels do not have paddle shifters , installing one cruise control switch on each side of the steering wheel did the trick .
On the Auto TT transmissions, line pressure is controlled by the solenoids on the valve body which are in turn controlled by the 2jzGTE ECU.
