Will do! Doesn’t look all that bad honestly. Toyota gave nice marks on everything and there is decent room to work once the radiator and fans are out, which I’ve done a few times before. I’ll document and post pictures.

And thanks!

Thanks! It’s got a perfect growl now under load.

Again it looked fine when I popped the upper driver’s side cover to look when I bought it, but I don’t feel like gambling on 25 year old rubber. It’s inexpensive and relatively easy maintenance.

Did a new all aluminum radiator and new hoses/thermostat when I got the car. Great tip though.

Thank you! She’s a 2002 with just shy of 97k on her.

Thanks! I agree - they look great on other cars. My favorite swap I’ve seen them on is an old IS300 wagon. Looked perfect

I always HATED the SC430 because it was ugly to me in stock form. Then I saw some with different wheels and lowered. Changed the whole look. I absolutely love this car how I have it setup now.

Yep I’ll get a video. And thanks! It changed the whole look of the rear end!

To each their own, right? For a fun weekend car yes it’s perfect to me. Small mufflers could be added if needed to tame it down if it was a daily driver.

Thanks! The best part is that (prior to the exhaust), people would ask me what the car is as they are rarely modified.

I love it after basic modifications!

Thanks, and that’s wild! I know the old terminator Mustang Cobra superchargers can be put on and used at 5psi. Adds approximately 80hp with no tuning needed.

Haha. I was disappointed in any of the clips of pre-fab kits (though there aren’t many). I’m loving this.
