So some progress today

Switched title over
Insured it. Registered it so i can start driving it now that it has brakes

Fixed the door latch

I got the windshield replaced and i threw a wheel on it so i can drive it around so i can get it inspected before i start tampering with the motor >=)


Oh. Test fitted wheels on and dropped the rear to see how much i need to roll the fenders to accommodate the new wheels. For fun i left a stockie on the right side.

Tomorrow. Ls400 caliper front upgrade and drop the front to see how it sits up front

I decided to advance auto most of the items i needed. So i bought it and just did it all in my garage. Saves me a good chunk of money plus i get a courtesy discount there and racking up points!!

Im throwing on stock ls400 rotors and stock ls400 calipers. Ill post a picture tomorrow when i have them on.


If you really want some help let me know or any of us know. A couple of us on here been through quite a few sc s so its almost a walk in the park
