Finish full exhaust.
Install Supercharger bought from ScottURnot
Install W58 from previous SC300
Install black birds eye wood trim and 3 spoke steering wheel
Start shopping for internals for engine to up the boost.

Plans I don't want to do in 09-
Repair **** that shouldn't be broken, hopefully an accident free year and that goes to all the fellow CL Members - Early Happy New Years!

Bushing install should be complete by 1/2, so that counts as 2009
Stance coils are sitting in the trunk, goin to install over the weekend (hopefully)
Lex Tech cluster - GB

need to purchase
boost controller
fmic + piping
exhaust

Slam it and turn up the boost is the plan, hopefully a kit and some nicer rims are in my future as well, but the ISX50s should still work for now

Retint the windows. Possible repaint for front and rear bumper (front has spiderwebs, rear is mismatched). Get 97+ headlights and a HID kid. Get an OEM lip, and swap the rims for some OEM take offs. Replace climate and radio units, and replace radio antenna.

More of a restoration plan, but with my current financial position I doubt I'd be able to get them done by 2012.

Mount my new tires, install my LS brakes, install new shocks, and maybe lowering springs, but I'm still undecided at the moment. I want to see how the car feels with brand new shocks and oem springs.

I have a list complied that when I look at hurts to think of all the work I have to do this year. It's basically a complete overhaul of a 187+ miles SC3 5Spd.

Interior:
-F1 Spec Seats
-Vertex deep 330mm steering wheel
-NRG short hub and quick release
-Vertex Shift ****
-LexTech dash lighting
-Willans Harnesses
-Eclipse Nav headunit
-Bride Seat Rails
-Custom black and tan interior
-Cusco cage

Suspension & Brakes:
-PoweredByMax Coilovers
-Full Daizen bushing replacement
-Daizen sway bars
-TRD STB
-LS calipers
-Rotora rotors
-SS brake lines

Exterior:
-New front and rear JDM windows(rear wiper FTMFW)
-Factory repaint (8J5)
-D-Max front fenders
-Origin roof spoiler
-Aggressive JDM wheels (if I can ever find a decent set)
-'97+ tail lights
-'97+ Front bumper, grill, and fogs
-Full Vertex lip kit
-JDM window visors

Engine:
-VVTi 1JZ swap
-MKIII R154 swap
-Blitz axleback with custom piping

That's about all I have planned for '09. The hardest part is gonna be finding a good set of wheels. I just can't source anything. It's gonna be a lot of work and money but i'll get her done this year. No wait I won't but some of it will get done.
