I know there are literally hundreds of choices on LED's out there, but I have put these in several of my vehicles including all of my SC's and they are really nice. Just throwing it out there for anyone doing an LED upgrade.

Thanks Rodger. Could I trouble you for a photo of the lights shone on a wall? I’m curious about the light output of the stock projectors. I’m considering opening up the headlights and doing a clear lens upgrade, but if they look good with the stock lenses maybe I’ll go another route.

Thanks!

Sylvania LED headlights with VViViD Vinyl Tint
Nick (CLass of 1). I’m attaching a couple pictures of my Sylvania LED headlights with the tint covering. These aren’t really the best pictures, but the headlights are a little less bright with the tint, but when I put the high beams on, it more than makes up for the slight reduction in light output caused by the tint.

I need to get my old HID kits out and go LED... Surprisingly they've lasted me 5 years now of owning the car and were installed already when I bought it. However, every once in a while you have to flick them off and on again when one doesn't light properly lol.

Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers!
A few weeks ago I finally got my Fortune Auto 500 series coil overs installed. I decided to go with the suggested rate of 12K for the front spring rate, and 8K for the rear spring rate. I love the stance that I finally achieved with this set up. When we first installed the coilovers, we adjusted them as high as they would possibly go and I still had rubbing in the front fender liners. We contacted Fortune Auto to explain the situation, and at no charge, they sent me longer lower shock mounts to raise the car up enough to eliminate the rubbing. The replacement mounts for the front were 75mm longer, and the rear were 30mm longer. With these replacement lower shock mounts, I was able to achieve the height I wanted without any rubbing. I love the ride quality of these Fortune Auto coils. They are stiffer than stock, but not bouncy or jarring. They retain some of the luxury comfortable riding, but with a much sportier feel. I would highly recommend Fortune Auto coils.

How does it sound?
Quote: Tanabe Revel Medallion Touring axle-back exhaust installed! I need to delete my resonators to extract the best sound possible from this Tanabe system. Hoping to get that done soon.

love the double walled tips. Similar to a Magnaflow tip.



I love the quality of this Tanabe. Just look at those blue welds!

The 4 inch tips really fill in the bumper openings.
Hey, I’m looking to get the same mufflers with a resonator delete. Could you please post a video on how the exhaust sounds? And where did you buy them from?

I am very delayed in updating this build.....but I finally got it manually swapped with a W58 5-speed from a MKIV Supra. I went with the following:
  • Xcessive adapter plate
  • Exedy clutch kit
  • Supra pedal kit
  • T56 Magnum hydraulic throw-out bearing
