Looking good. The Tanabe Exhaust really seals it!

should be finished this week. Just got tracking confirmation for my leather so I'll have to install that when it comes in. Also have some perfect black carpet on its way. Sending out an extra set of wood trim to be refinished. Steering wheel came in Saturday. So I am close

That looks great Jimmy! Looks just like my steering wheel except I took off the supra airbag and put an IS300 one on to have the L logo. Is it a jdm Supra wheel? Do you have the cruise control lever on yours or nothing there like on mine?

My cruise control stalk won't swap from my RX wheel so I will be going without cruise until I can figure out what might fit.

Funny enough, I was thinking about this recently...

Can a boost solenoid be controlled by the up/down triggers on the cruise control?...I mean running it to a available input in a standalone ECU? If so, that would a great use of the cruise control lever.

I was also thinking of wiring it up as a inter-cooler sprayer trigger....by pulling it towards you, it would turn on the wiper pumps plumbed to nozzles near the inter-cooler.

I plan on definitely finding a way to use the switch...not for cruise control.
