Finally got the PS line and PS bushings in this weekend. Sheared two of the rack bolts clean off! thankfully they made that hardware easy to replace.
Got my JZA80 Spats strut bar in with a little angle creativity... as much as I like the Spats sticker on there I might remove it to refinish... although the patina on it kind of fits the car
$12 Russian poly sway bushings for my '98 sway.... shipping takes forever but so cheap they are worth the wait.
size comparo, stock '95 sway is slightly thicker than a Sharpie! Its been wet out and I haven't been brave enough to really suss out the difference
I'd like to get a heat shield and duct built for the intake and relocate the battery over the winter.
I also want to keep going with the rest of the bushings but also want a new bumper....decisions decisions

really like the car, these are my favorite year.
Is your strut tower bar on backwards? I had a supra bar on my car and it was nowhere near the little "L" on the intake manifold??

Thanks! Ever since I saw that Supermade s15 in Superstreet years ago I fell in love with running smaller wheels. I'm just not hardcore enough to swap to smaller brakes and 4-lug hubs like Yoshida

So I have some more parts coming in, I decided to go with the godspeed arms since they are so affordable and users seem to have positive reviews. Not to mention my LCAs were corroded to the eccentric bolts and one was bent
I have the other two arms coming this week, i decided to replace them too since they looked pretty gross.
I also started a headlight retrofit, I was an impatient idiot and cracked the glass on my first attempt so I had to order another.
painted housing
I've successfully completed the passenger side, so you should see that soon.
These are going behind the oem fluted lenses. Since they are glass i don't really want to sand them down. There were some guys who did this when I was messing with volvos and the cutoff wasn't too bad. A little more fuzzy but still defined

Not to mention I only have ~$65 into this retrofit. This is a budget retrofit because I've never done one before. I figured something would go wrong and it did. I cracked a lens because I pried a little too hard. You have to heat all of the glue all the way around and scrape the outer layer of glue before doing any prying.
So I'm out a little more having to get a used light but if I had DEPOs and i messed up i'd have to drop another $3-$350.
I'd almost guarantee if you ordered right now you'd get an ETA shipping date sometime in the future. I'm pretty sure US stock is backordered at the moment.
The projectors are THESE
Which I believe are just unbranded Morimoto H1 7.0.... but the nice thing about these cheap ones is that they come with an H4 adapter ring. I did zero cutting, they are plug and play.
I also have done a TB/IM clean as well as a spark plug wire tuck

I'd love to see a beam shot once yours are back together!

You realize these projectors are for right hand drive cars, right? In the US we are left hand drive.
