I think the vertex front sits lower than the AC so it might not match up perfectly.

get 3330 NGk Coppers and Just change them every 4-5k.
Copper best plug for da Poopra = best plug for j00!

Buy like 24 of them and You'll have only spent like $26 hahaha

I'm just gonna Say it though.I'm all for Emblems and shizz but dude....Make it a Soarer/toyota or a Lexus.Not both.Don't be "that guy".

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. As for the emblems, my car is a registered Lexus, mixed with the toyota version in japan. Im not going to put Toyota when its not. My car has everything the soarer has to be a soarer.

Im not big on making my car what everyone else likes. Its what i like, if i did, then i would have moved my gauges along time ago. ITs what i like, my car. Everyone has their own style and im sorry you dont like mine. But thats fine with me. Many people do and so do i. Its unique, i dont want my 1j'd SC to be like everyone elses. SOrry....

but as for the sparkplugs, im googling them now and going to pick some up, your the 5th person to tell me about them, thanks!!

See you when you get back tomorrow. LOL. just read the whole thing.. Yeah, you bought a mk3 supra trans not the soarer.

And yes, the soarer did technically have its own transmission that just happened to be almost identical to the supra, aka sharing all parts except the shifter housing and shifter. It even came in two versions, internal like what you have now, and external like the getrag 6 speeds in mk4 supras.

For a drift car, I would say a 67 is too big lol.. A 6262 like posted earlier is a pretty decent choice as it would probably start to spool around 2500 and full spool about 3500, but honestly.. I'd go with something like a 57mm dbb t4 with a .68 housing, and if you wanted a little more top end.. a .81 rear housing (but losing a little spool). You probably would only make like 350-400rwhp though.. but for drifting I wouldn't say you need more than that.

btw; it hurt inside seeing that you mounted those gauges on the dash I hope you didn't drill em in lol. If it were me i'd either mount them where you had it before (on the pillar), a molded job into the panel that follows the vents, or mounting them sideways (viewable range) in your glove blox. <-- not sure if that would work though.
