Whats up guys, I havent forgotten this site its just a little hard to keep up. I have so many different hobbies and I am a member of various different sites that sometimes it just a little hard to break habbits. BUT anywho here we go, well I have had my SC3 for a little over 2 years and just now am I starting to really mod it you can say. Its been a slow process and its gonna keep being slow ultimately I hope to have this mean machine of mine pretty much done by 2012 :eek2::eek2: LoL.

Little back story I picked her up in eairly 2008 with me just being the 3rd owner with a little over 89k miles. Here she was in the back of the Lexus dealer just chillin waiting for a new daddy...

Donk status


Next to my homies GS430 and 1Gen GS3


Interior was pretty damn clean



Fresh low miles


Didint take long to get the new feet oem GS300's and HiD's



Then came my ISx50 Stocks and the worst mod yet CUT SPRING (dont do it)

[YeA 2jZ]

Finaly started doing things right and got me decent suspension Espelir ASD on KYB GR-2 shocks and strut bar



And alignment


Then I hit a milestone


Looking clean:p:p

[YeA 2jZ]

Took off the old beat up tints rocked the fish bowl for a week and then got some new 20%'s





Then I got a jet ski so build was put on hold for a bit :thumbdn:


Then came my LS BBK upgrade






Did the cluster LED and other LED's in the interior

[YeA 2jZ]

Which brings us here to today



I have some new 19's that I am in the process of painting (wont be my last se of wheels SSR SP3's mmm)



Plans for the end of the year are finish painting rims install the new Supra TT bbk I am also in the process of rebuild and paint.


I already cut my rear fenders for the new rollers (looks better now)


Now I just need to finish my 97 Front bumper and paint it and get the rest of my 97+ Kit.

Plans for the new year are

* Start the black interior conversion I already have gated shifter, wood 3 spoke steering wheel and 98 gauge cluster.   Still need to get the SC430 seats and black carpet and dor panels. Eventualy It will be black wood trim with Saddle leather upholstery and black suede roof liner
* Audio/Video upgrade
* Finish the 97+ kit and possibly get the BIGWIN lips and do the StarFire Pearl Paint
* Start my NA-T build which in my opinion is going to be the longest part of my build so thats why I choose to tackle it last

Thanks for looking guys, I will update as I make some sort of progress again I have big plans just not balling out of control like some guys on the boards. My build is a SLOW process but I will be making progress LoL

[YeA 2jZ]

Made some progress and finished the rebuild of the calipers. Its always a good idea to rebuild used calipers, while doing mine I found out one of the pistons was seized up.



And a little peek at what my weekend is gonna be like....





The UPs man finaly dropped these off ......





I am gonna try and put them in tomorrow, as corny as it may sound I am very happy to have an exact part that I have always wanted for my SC

[YeA 2jZ]

Another little update finaly put in the exhaust and I am so happy it sounds great. I made a few little vids that are uploading to youtube now so I will post them once that are ready. The only thing I am not feelin is the way they hang a bit, are they suppose to site like that ? either way I am going to have my exhaust guy fit it to my liking but its ok for now. The pics I took are not very good bcuz my car is parked in a weird spot so I cant get good shots until after i finish the wheels and brakes............


Taking off the stupid hitch, if anyone wants it PM me.
 

Getting work done....



I should of started it when it was like this to hear how it would of sounded LoL


Annnnnnnnnd finished product, parts that are made to fit are so easy to work with:D

always loved the nur spec sound..... and those ls brakes on silver color looks good.... i think i should go back to silver.

[Peter_95]

[YeA 2jZ]

The current brakes are Supra TT but the ones I had on before were the LS400 but its the same silver paint. And yes lol thats my dad's beer belly, gallons of it lmao

lol....

Can you tell a difference on the LS brakes vs. Supra brakes?

If you could, would it be worth the change to supra?
As of now, i love my LS conversion, but always wondered if the Supras was that much better.
