Look what i've got







the only missing things are the pipes and the heat exhanger...and i think i know who has them

dutchboy,

the lexus seats I think are from an IS300 I cut the rails from the front seats and bolted onto the lexus. Abit of work but worth everyminute of it. And yes those are side airbags.

More stuff coming my way...

Looks awesome, nice progress. I love that steering wheel. I have had an old school
soundstream deck/preamp in my truck for years and it still sounds great. They made some very
good quality stuff.

thanks...cant wait to finish off my 3s swap and get this badboy pumping....im a lil worry coz this amp will draws alot of current. Not sure if the 3s alternator can handle the load, for reference this thing accpets 0 awg wire

edit: I'll proabbly do the "big 3 upgrade " first and see how it goes.

wow that soundstream amp is something else... thats bigger than the huge audiobahn unit amps that are in a box also... ive heard good things about those too, i bet it sounds awesome... one of these days i might get a tarantula amp

should throw some blue LEDs behind your speedo to match the rest of your cluster.

>

I got a new st205 cluster now...will deffinitely change those greenies with white or blue...i like LEDS but somehow the light is not as bright as the bulb's, even the refractors from VLEDS failed to impress me...maybe its just me.

ahh so u got the DaVinic... Nice choice ^^

the progress....sorry the pics are abit blurry.
wiring is a mess








much better after 20 mins...

what a mess... ^^ =) going good though...

205 cap & rotors

Are those direct bolt ons?

you gotta tell me where u are getting your stuff from....some of them...i don't even know where to start

>

Not really, you'll need to machined down the diameter of the rotors or get custom brackets to extend the calipers out...amongs other little things.

>

I got some of my stuffs from 6gc members for others I got from ebay, not through direct bidding but I search for ppl who're dismantling their car (205) and ask for that particular part, its cheaper this way.

Once you get this 205 brake swap, you sir will be getting a lot of pms from me.

Found these babies on the steps infront of my door today...woot

nice..thouse dragon badges are sexy.

lambo hinges, King Springs and exhaust muffler.

my Xmas pressies....

so you get a bunch of used stuff for X-mas? I can understand the lambo hinges cuz those are expensive but I mean a muffler and springs aren't expensive. Most springs are $200 or so. splurge and get new.

wth man i been looking for those badges in forever..

wow looking great were are you up to?

amazing work...

>

Haha the guy were selling them all in one shot so i had to buy all three...

@hongkongnerdboy, the badges pop up time to time on ebay..I got mine from there, too.

@Rusty, Thanks, I have been waiting for the W2A and the ct20b but I dont think they're coming anytime soon, anyway im putting everything in as we speak.

@malpaso, Thanks for the comment.

very ncie work so far.. im interested in your projector project if you have/havent finished it yet and what exactly you are doing/going to do

i was contemplating some low/high projectors to have the 4 high beam setup... but.. i dont see a very easy way of modding the jdm projectors. seems like alot of hassle for not that much. but projectors that spread more light infront of the car would be nice also... whatever the new mercedes has would be nice as they always drown out my hid's when they pass me on the highway

so i presume your gonan take the lense off... pop off the shroud n mount in the new projectors there?

damm that is one looking good project good luck whit it

>

yea something like that, but a little more complicated..its not just a matter of removing the lense and the shroud, you also need to mount the projector securely...i got the clear lenses as well, cant wait to try them on

A few pics of the Lexus seats and the carbon steering wheel while Im working on my car:
