Default Ruby 1jz build

Hey guys, i made an intro about a month ago and decided to make a build thread. since i already have a 1j there will not be any engine swaps anyways! my cars name is ruby lol. although i dont have any pics of these things i did yesterday i fixed my window (wouldnt roll down) and a friend helped replace my water pump. gasket was the culprit so it is for sale if anyone needs one! just needs a gasket. also just did my gauge pod. i will post pics of that right now! hope u all enjoy my build thread as it goes on!
