Default TRD IS300 build

Hey guys, I just picked up another IS300 2 weeks ago. Im starting a build series on youtube. Check it out and let me know what yall think. This is my 3rd IS300 so im familiar with the chassis, but im trying to build this one right with as many rare parts as I can get my hands on.

I corrected RPM's by wiring in a dakota SGI-8E behind it. I also have the ABS light on.......have had it forever so not sure what is up with that..

did you have issues with the fuel gauge? Mine is reading full, even though I drove to work and back on a full tank and I know an is300 ain't sipping gas like that.

The fuel gauge is one of the longest enduring mysteries of the jdm cluster. Its got to do with the way the signal is relayed and the system CANBUS or MPX or something. I really know very little about this stuff but I don't know that anyone has figured it out.
