I like how the tires somehow stick on the ground xD

 

yet your truck sways like hula girl most likely

 

Its okay Nam I get hated on when I have ford wheels too.

 

Good tip on autolumination. They have some 1157 arrays with a loose cord. Should fit the tail lights perfect. Just gotta measure a 38x38mm will work. They have lots of stuff. I want to swap all my lights to run on LED.

 

no big deal, I love the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

I may look into getting new wheels later on, but might hold it off. Still trying to get a loan approved for a Lexus IS-F.

 

Thats alot of work just to get Lexus rims. No hatin though, truck looks great. My 92 never made it that far before I sold it to a jockey. He was like 5'1" and had to ask if the seat went further forward. Best car sale I ever had hahaha

 

I found some 18x10.5's but that'll be roughly $900... (Thinking about mounting my Nitto's on these for my racing events and roll on the FR500's as dailies.)


I'm going to save for a down payment. Getting approved for $32,000 is something.

4dr, 416hp, rwd... ugh, I'd love to have myself a Lexus IS-F.

I'd be able to keep my truck in the garage and work on it.

Thanks man, I do what I can for it. It's hard when I get home from work and the heat on my commute home just kills my motivation to do anything.


LOL a person 5'1" would fit just fine! I'm 5'8" and my head rest is where my shoulder is at.

 

Oh he fit in there just fine. Right between the steering column and the seat belt clicker haha. Little dude was so little haha. It had MR2 seats bolted straight to the floor. Sat real low. I migrated onto better things. I also took a look at that autolumination site, they have a bunch of stuff I want. Like a nice RGB LED controller, I think mine broke. Gonna wire RGBs around the interior and in the stock gauges.

 

They're a good site, I think shipping wise it got to NorCal pretty quickly.

I want to try using an LED board in my interior light.

I want to try and make a LED controller to make them strobe in my custom patterns.

 

There best controller has a wireless remote and it has like 15 modes. 7 colors, then various flashing and warping cycles. Seems cooler than mine. Its just a tuning knob to each RGB channel to make any color. They had quite a bit of festoon bulb arrays, hopefully your dome light uses a larger style than mine. I would have to use the tiniest size. I never even use my dome light though. But they even have a 7 color array that fits festoon sockets and 194 sockets. Lotta options if you delve around their terrible formatting lol

 

A Lexus isf would make a fine daily driver . Love those things don't see to many around here . I see a blue colored one every now and then . Those quad staggered exhaust tips .... Mmmmm

 

haha there's...GluxLite, V-LED's, Autolumination, and SuperBrightLED's.
The last two I've bought from.

I think it'd just be the easiest if i just used an LED controller to strobe, that'll make my stuff easier!


I love the IS-F's, test driven one on Valentines, I'm hooked. I want it to be the first car I buy.

 

Stumbled onto this one in an old post Nam. Thought it might bring you some pride to see how far its come

 

Leaps and bounds

 

haha I have worse pics of the truck when I first got to it xD


There's only more to come

 

Oh I'm sure. lol. just stumbled onto it in some thread.

 

Ya gotta know where u'v been to know where your going

 

Plastidipped the wheels gold.


Some of that red synthetic grease I put in my steering linkages somehow flung onto my plastidip and stained it So I gotta respray those some time.





Got my alignment, tried getting toe to close as zero. I replaced my center link and it was pretty worn... i had crazy toe settings. Tightened up the linkages and the camber is untouched at 1*. I need to get new strut rods, mine is still bent. Hopefully if I can get that done with new bushings for front and rear suspension, I want to straighten everything out. I have .3* of rear toe, thrusting right. I hate it.


My Nardi Torino steering wheel that came off a Japanese Subaru Impreza GC8 WRX Type R.
and my matching Protank II vape.

Oh, and 210,000 miles.


My new spongeymicrofibey.


This would be the most recent pictures of what my truck looks like, daylight.



Getting voluntold, so I decided to be smart and use my truck and get things over with.


Last Saturday I was in SF.


And I came home to some worn out brakes, so here's some fresh ones.


Get the right pads. apparently in 05/06, my dad bought the long bed pads. I have the F18 cast brake calipers. get the short bed pads for the excab trucks lol



I wish I had a video of me bedding in my new brakes.
talk about me going to 60mph, braking hard to 10mph, then repeating, while doing this on a one lane highway with some light traffic.
1st 60-10, my tires locked up because they were cold.
2nd and 3rd, was trying to get it done while traffic waaaaaay behind me was wondering wtf i was doing.
4th and 5th, getting a little better, i had to pull to the side so people can pass me and i can repeat the process.
6th and 7th, getting a littleeeeeee better. Much more brake fade on the break in process, tires much more warm, more traffic, turn around and repeat.
8th, 9th, and 10th, I got the pads hot enough to sweat out any of the manufacturing **** in the pads, they were smoking! hahahahaaha it was weird braking hard from 60mph and feeling some true brake fade from multiple 60-10mph runs. I'm pretty sure my clutch wasn't too happy either lol.
I cruised, let my brakes cool, and went to return my old pads to Autozone (lifetime gauranteed). The break in pattern looked like it should. light blue tint with some grey to indicate pad to rotor transfer.

 

Looks like you've been pretty busy with the truck. Great job!

 

Thanks man, I've been trying to save money for a salvaged IS-F donor car.


Currently, I'm just trying to fix all the worn stuff that bugs me.
Steering and suspension NEEDS new bushings. I want to get the energy pro stuff but I'm not sure what's the best place to grab those. They have a kit for a price.
Aside from that, just taking care of her.
