GSGenesis,

Don't remember the PM but man I get so many about stuff so my bad.

Wheels were sent back to Calchrome because the original chrome began to flake. They took real good care of me and the wheels are on the way back now after being refinished.

All the wood grain in the car is factory. It's just all been polished. All the gauges went in glove box as I wanted to try and keep the interior as factory looking as possible. I almost had my buddy mount the boost controller on drivers side pillar in a custom way but we are now doing a set of 3" mids in the pillars to get the sound quality of the car to score better. Next year the car is going under the knife for motor work at Calvo Motorsports and I'll probably update the engine management to Pro EFI. If I do that everything is in one gauge and it will go probably back in glove box. As far as the glove box goes there is never anything in there. This car is a sunny day ride only so it sees very little time on the street. It just turned 75,000 miles and I'm trying to keep them off it.

Hi Shane, sorry for the (very) late reply, but I replied to your PM and left my contact info. It looks like your audio build has long been done but if you're still interested in info about the iPad Mini install feel free to contact me.

Edit: wow, everything about this car is immaculate. I'll have to see this in person at some point :O

 

Such an awesome attention to detail. Just read the whole thread and couldn't wait to see what was next. Bravo man, cant wait to see you get the new turbo in.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Haven't really done much to my ride as I have been working mainly on the sons 99. It did get a bath and drove about five miles. It will be going back to Austin in December to have the mids done in the pillars. I finally found some vinyl that matches the texture of the factory lexus material.
I really need a new front bumper cover, new headlights and fog lights. I'll probably wait till motor work is done for that though and move my headlights and fogs to sons car.

This is where my car spends most of it's time.

Clean as always!

 

Beautiful ride man, cant say it enough

 

And what do we have coming here ???

This is what happens when you go to install your hands free mic that you were to lazy to install the first time and you cut the end off the wrong wire trying to take out the old mic. $ 22.00 later and my new Alpine 3.5 video cable will be here soon. This is what happens when you rush things.

Not a lot of pics of these wheels on cars since they are fairly new. I think I'm going to like them.

Here is a pic with the 540 Hybrid. I don't like the allen bolts so no brainer for me but the look good too. See below

Great choice, cant wait to see how it looks!

..and I especially cant wait to see how it looks with that brake setup in behind them, I love it.

 

UPS guy showed up. New TRD LSD just got here.



Shane

 

Out of everything done to my car the LSD is by far my most favourite mod. You're going to love it.

 

gahhh...I need to get my lsd alread


Really looking forward to see the new wheels on, then finally get to see this thing in person one day. Although I have to ask, was it an easy decision to make the change from the CCW's?

 

Turbo,

Yeah it was. I was just ready to make it "my" car. SW did a great job on the car but it still "looked" like his car. The 500's look really good but I just needed a change. I hope the new 540's look good. I'm really ready to drive the car more and would really like to meet some of the Houston guys. My sons car might get a LS motor oneday so I'm anxious to see yours. Once mine gets back from Austin getting the pillars done we'll set up a meet.

Pillars for my Fostex drivers have started.
