the seats look really good in there. I personally prefer the regular gt four bumper, but realisticaly it's just a matter of preference. Do whatever you think looks best. Car's lookin good btw

i heard that u have to get the gt 4 bumper to match the gt4 hood cuz otherwize, with any other mixture, it won't align right.

from the look of the int. looks like ur going for a luxury look get some wood grain kits for the center, dash, key, hole vents and doors it will look very clean with the stering wheel you got along with the leather lexus pwr,heated seats.....btw do the seats fold fowerd for passengers to load in the back? is it motorised too? or does it just spring fowerd......but all in all i like it....need some red and black ones for mine

yea its fully motorised..although it goes really slow forward when someone at the back needs to get out, a pain sometimes Im thinking of putting a forward spring mechanism like the stock under the front pass but it would make the seat too high i need some ideas. Im thinking of getting a supra carbon magnesium wheel, that would go well with my current setup, im pretty sure that the supra wheel will fit but does anyone here has experience with them on our car?

BTW my c-one bumper is here but it doesnt come with any c1 badge??? all they gave me is some instructions, screws and a c1 sticker. Thats it..hrms i though for 1500usd at least i get a badge

my "J-SPEC SUPRA MKIV IS 300 OEM CARBON STEERING"..






took the momo steering out




took the airbag module out and to my horror...the KMIV wheel doesnt have a horn ring, the supra probably use wire instead.




Found the momo adapter sitting nearby...>>>>the copper ring<<<...




Doesnt fit.




I aint giving up that easily---> some sanding and cutting and expanding, finally.....




Its on....




...and showtime........

cost me $699USD shipped from japan...expensive but worth it. I just got the gt4 latch from a german dude so that problem is solved...

I got the st185 clip too..cost me 2000AUD...88' kms on the clock, is that cheap guys?? i searched around quite abit but they all pretty expensive in OZ an st205 clip cost abt 5000AUD thats if i can even find one. Shipping from anywhere else whould be too expensive for me not to mention the customs tax fee.

LOL nooOoOooO....i havent started on the 3sgte swap as of yet...probably start on monday and probably get a friend to do it as i have tons of uni work...but no there is no point really getting a 3sgte swap and have auto transmission. Which is why in my other thread i asked if the driveshaft on the automatic fit into the manual tranny..

I really love what you've done with the interior, nice job.

BTW, how difficult was it to take off the emblems? Do they just pop off?

#27

well some bastard kept on prying my back emblem off so i figured better off to shave them, nothing hard really just use a sharp blade and try working on the glue but careful you dont wanna scratch ur paint.

BTW thanks for the nice comment, I like to have a balance between performance & looks.

Awesome, I'll try that.

But what did you use to remove the remaining gunk that was behind the emblems left on the paint?

Interested in your lexus seat mod.

What year and model did your seats come from?

What mods did you have to do to make them fit?

Are those side airbags I see in the pic?

Thanks
