just installed retro-solutions 55w slim ballast 8000k hids! i thought they might come out to blue but with our factory projectors they look like the oem stock hids!!

best part of it all, every thing has a LIFETIME warranty!! everything! 160 bucks free shipping, plug and play, and it seriously takes 2 minutes per headlight to install.

ill get a pic of them tomorrow

 

Woow great trade! Honda for lexus! Nice 1jz too!

 

So i got the fmic, greddy type s and turbo timer..

whats next?

well since i recently was hired, ill be ordering this weekend...

-blitz nur spec universal 80mm muffler - custom straight 3inch cat back exhaust single exit - driver side, up and out to the side
-defi gauges
-integra 3 pod a pillar
-start gather parts for my 5 speed conversion

 

Congrats on the trade.

 

excellent find..only thing I would change other than what you already listed, would be to remove the spoiler and go with the pre 97 spoiler.

 

good trade! good job!

 

way to trade up!,Check your door drains and also check your sunroof window drains to cure your drivers side wet carpet.. Best way to clean your sunroof drains is to run thin weedeater line thru the sunroof window drain tubes.

 

yeahh i really like the lip spoilers better.. but all in due time. i decided against the blitz and am going with hks hi power.. i think it looks better as a single exit muffler over the blitz.

and no defi gauges.. im getting vei gauges.. all digital baby!


thanks man.. and i found the problem.

it wasnt the sunroof drains.. it was the fact that the car had been sitting for almost a year under a tree.. this meant a build up of ick on all the weatherstripping.. water got under it, and rusted pretty much the whole top of the windshield. when it rains it just soaks my entire ceiling. however i did temp. fix it with some coaxing thats to be used with metal and provides a water tight seal!

-only until summer/spring so i can hack up the roof in this area and get rid of all of my sc's cancer.

 

about to order:

greddy speed cut defender - type a
Hks hi power 170mm muffler
3 pod integra a pillar mount
VEI digital boost and digital oil press./temp gauge
3inch hi flow cat

i decided to hold off on the wideband till next paycheck so i can get my exhaust on. 3inch straight back, hi flow cat.

still to be installed:

fmic
greddy type s
turbo timer

my goal is to show my car by the spring.. i still need to get a new radiator, intake piping/filter replacement from the apexi thing.

 

i hate my life. i had to cancel the greddy speed cut and hi flow cat because of the events of today..

i took my car to get the inspection and turns out my front LCA's have no life left in the bushing, my pass. wheel bearing is near dead and my rack and pinion is bleeding from the boot...

soo i found poly bushings for 60 bucks, wheel bearing for 40 and getting a rack and pinion from Gazi

 

welcome to club lexus! rule number #1 before modding your sc300... always alwayss check and make sure your sc300 is up to date when oem parts in running condition. (timingbelt/water pump/power steering/bushings/motor mounts.. etc) bring it back to showroom condition and then go ***** out!!! I spent 1.5k in new parts just to bring it back to 100% running flawless... before i started modding one of mines. You dont want to run out of money and have a non running car!! =) <been there lol>

 

(im in that situation) hahah

 

arrived:

3 gauge pod A pillar
HKS hi power muffler - 170mm canister - thing is huuuge haha

 

instead focus on the 5speed swap, get parts and it can be done in one day if work good

 

iv thought about it, and the 5spd swap wont come till later next year. i do HATE the automatic but i have other things i want to put my money into.
