Driving to work and radiator hose popped on the IS300 about 20mi from the house. My wife had to grab a U-haul and rescue me. Then I just decided to just do the whole cooling job so I won't nor the future buyer have to worry about it. 30° outside yesterday morning but it's done now

The manual swap isn't too crazy. It just takes a TON of patience. You have to know when to stop when you feel frustrated about something not lining up or all the wires in the way. Do a little then come back to it. Order the right parts, which I'm a OEM freak so I went MK4 Supra items. I've seen others use different items and that worked for them too. If you ever want to take it on, hit me up and I'll shoot you all the info you need from my perspective

Well here's a flip car update! Still waiting on the TRD Cluster and Trust Oil Cooler for Fran so I did some work on the IS yesterday. I had the Teins left over from a duplicate order from the jp auctions. She needed rear brakes so addressed that to so now it stops better and is pretty low. Doing the matching fronts in a couple weeks and paint the calipers. I have a few more upgrades and some paint correction before I sell it. Month to date I'm just at $1000 with repairs and the original cost of the car all in. Should turn a nice profit

Yes they are. They not secure in place but I can get a pic of how I want them to route. With everything where its tentatively placed, I can still run the factory bumper. The fog opening won't be occupied with lighting so that's what will feed the oil cooler sand the ducts should get air from the lower center section

Holy crap dude! I can hardly find motivation to work on mine lately. You are going all out on yours! Good work. I finally called to schedule my tune. So hopefully I will be updating my build in a couple weeks with positive news and same power figures. I just went through all these build threads to see what y'all have been up to. Now I have a spark to pull my intake and wire in my 1200cc injectors before taking it in.

Finally the weekend! I was able to win a mint Takata a couple weeks ago so just waiting for it to arrive. Bride rails and Zeta 4's Gradation are a little long to get and the gentleman building my cage needs the car asap so I'll opt for a Corbeau Forza and rail for temporary. Then I'll put it in my silver car. I sourced everything for my steering so now I'm gonna mock fit some items today. I enjoy seeing everyone work on their cars! Stay the course!
