yeah, it's totally morning frost..the paint is pretty good, it had been repainted 7-8 years ago according to the po who had owned it since '03, got a few dings, and the driver's side headlight is rough, but it's not bad for 1400 bucks
[QUOTE=DWCOILE;10380040]well it was time for maintenance. Replaced the timing belt-water pump complete kit, new starter (Note use toyota parts on these jobs), serpentine belt, spark plugs, struts (Bilstein are a little softer than OE with lowering springs FYI), Went with Denson ans Aisin parts purchased from Amazon.

Got the Tanabe Medalion exhaust installed. It sounds very good with a nice deep tone especially with the IS300 performance long tube header and the GS300 Megan Racing mid pipe.

I’ve got the same setup.
Q: Have you noticed a deeper tone once the engine has fully warmed up? Like after you’ve been on the highway for a bit, park and then listened to the exhaust note?

To be honest its been very cold lately around 10 degrees lately so it definitely sounds a bit more deeper with the colder weather but even once warmed up, it still has a similar deep tone from when the motor was first started.
It also has a light single backfire around 3k rpms on de-acceleration which is what my Supra does around that rpm range too. Do you notice any of that backfire sound on your exhaust set-up?
Nice, is it a free air/no box type sub? What do you have for a head unit?
Yeah, it works well as an oem replacement and definitely thumps harder. However, it is nothing compared to my old 12" Alpine Type-R in a ported box. With the same amp, it was probably about 4 times louder. Also, the rear deck rattles like crazy, mostly due to the seat belt mechanisms. I carry stuff in my trunk and with my air suspension, I don't have the space for a box anymore.
Headed to paint. Did as much prep as I could. We’ll see how it turns out. Took as much off as possible. For the price and the age of the car, Macco works for me. This shop does decent work. They’re gonna prime, seal, base and clear it.
