That's what I'm saying! Only a few people left admire the 95-96 tails! Thanks!

Contact cww180, he's stationed in Japan right now, maybe he can hook you up for a great price too! And the plugs are the same, no need to wire it! I just said I'm thinking about doing the sequential flash with the signal lights, but I haven't done it yet. Here's a quick guide to doing it; Post #5

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly, I'm contemplating on selling my set... At first my plan was to polish the rear factory brakes to match the polished LS brakes, but didn't realize it's forged iron and would just rust if not clear powder coated, which is too much work. So now, I'm stuck with running not matching brake calipers, or just go the Supra MKIV brake caliper route and polish both front and rear, but too expensive for my budget at the moment...

Did what? Sorry, I'm a little bit lost to what you said...

Like Chewbacca about to orgasm, lol. Joke.

Just imagine your OEM mufflers with a deep tone, nothing special. I was just going for the look.

Default Fuel Filter. Another easy and great maintenance to do!

I've been getting 13mpg and I haven't really done anything to address it, until I changed my "ghetto'd" intake coupler, and now fuel filter. It's very easy to do and great maintenance, and I noticed a big difference on how my SC fired up and the exhaust smell.

I don't know about East Coast SC's with rust problems, but mine was clean as hell. No rust at all, it did give me a little hard time loosening and tightening the nuts, needed extra muscle to force them loose. Anyways, I got Wix from O'Reilly, cause they're pretty good from what I've heard, if not better than OEM. And I don't really need any performance filter or whatever.



Just look how dirty the gas inside the old filter was;




That's it for today!

For some peoples' entertainment, pics of my rear tire stretch;

19x10.5 with 245/35/19 Achilles ATR Sport (tire brand matters on tire stretch too)




Thank you for looking!

I would rock the jdm side markers. Does that mean you can't have the orange amber lights in your head lamps though?

I'm using the JDM sidemarkers right now. But still undecided in wiring the signal lights to light up as park lights too.
