You should be posting pictures of your car anyways.

Great job on the headlights. Are the fogs going to be next?

You should. Step lip would look amazing. Although, I don't know how easy it is to find jdm barrels and lips in step.
Pretty easy to get. Three piece us has a BF deal going on but I have too many sets of wheels and can't decide which to keep, rebarrel or sell

And like installing a vvti coil packs and gte and running without the dizzy and ffim?

Oh nice mani and the exhaust side!!! Are you piecing it yourself and what size snail?
Yep! You can change the ECU and accompanying parts without the turbo. This way the turbo install is strictly mechanical. The engine runs so smooth this way!

Thanks! I am piecing the turbo kit together myself.
The turbo is a precision 6176.

It’s great to know for someone who wants to stay n/a and go ffim to clean everything up in the engine bay this is an awesome mod!!!!


You, probly seen my half build slow a$$ progress on build page, I’m just going for with my na-t engine swap +w58 and praying it all bolts up with Supra mkiv driveshaft, but before that I have to wash the engine bay first, and more problems on the way, finding the right time is hardest things on the list of things to do.

Smile Technically this is what I did yesterday..


^^^^^^^ Here is my 1992 SC400 ^^^^^^^
I didn't get a chance to post this last night so I am doing it today. Here is what I did:
  • Fixed an issue where my engine wouldn't start by doing the 12v mod
  • Changed my fan belt
  • Replaced my rear sway links
  • Got the sc stuck in a trench
  • Got it towed out


It was a fun and eventful day!
Cheers!

Similar to above I drove over a big 2x4 and blew the passenger tire. Luckily no rim damage just really heart broken putting my car through that.

I'm glad you're good brother! That damage can be fixed and isn't so bad.
