+40 to +45 rear. 17's shouldn't be a real problem unless they are too shallow. Stay away from anything under +35. 18's will rub at +35 and less. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...wtopic=1096&hl=

Thanks bro. I'll look em over.

Hmm, Cressida + 7m-gte = possible future project. Welcome.

I need to do a little work to the car before the hood goes on. I'll post again when it is installed.

Unpredictable things happen when start wiring things too. I usually let someone else do that stuff unless it is simple connections. Running new circuits eh. The SC oem alarm thing never does flash the light unless you get creative. I guess that would work. Go for it.

Well now, that's damn handy. Thanks man.

In 1995 the SC factory alarm started with the beep thing to give an audible indication of activation. 1992 to 1994 has no indication other than the faint sound of the doors locking. If your LED still works, you could always just take a peep through the window to verify it is activated. Or pull up on the door handle real quick. That is what I used to do with the 93. As far as getting the park lights to blink with oem alarm system; I'm sure it is possible. But I have no idea how to do it. Well, I have some idea, but I wouldn't feel comfortable trying it. You would need a relay and some sort of timer and wiring skills.

No need to get hostile. ;) I know it was about $1600 total for everything I bought. I did buy it about 3 months ago so that is why I forgot. I have the breakdown somewhere. I paid the retail price on the GTP website and 160$ for shipping. They cut me a deal on that or whatever deal that could be. Either way, they were pretty cool. The c-west front end is being made as we speak. Should be 1 of 2 in the US at this point. When it gets here. You're in Cali, you should swing by GTP and ask them if they can cut you any deals. Or save up and you can have it too.

I'm sure there is a way to test the coil. I don't know how though. I would imagine that resistance would be the safest way to do it. You'd need a pin out diagram and the specs for resistance across the secondary, primary, and total. If resistance is too high or too low you will want to change it out. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Hey Jon, do you have the info on plugs recommended for the stock compression turbo cars. I think Scott in Cincy was running 3330's at .32 but I don't remember exactly. Do the 6097's hold up better or what? I'm going in there shortly. Need to get gaskets, belts and ignition stuffs.

MSD is universal. Miller genuine draft is optional. Keep it off the road though. ;) You can use the SCI or 6AL I think. Might want to have a shop wire it for you real quick though. Won't do much for a stock motor. Fuel economy would probably improve. Search MSD in google.

Yea they can but in Cali, it might not be a good idea.

you weighed it?

Unless you are running an amplified ignition. Then wires are upgraded to shielded and larger gauge to control cross chatter and fire. Our stone age distributor set-up will do best with oem wires though. I recently read that DLI systems can benefit from some beefier wires though. Don't know if that holds water or not.

Glad to see it worked out for ya. At a substantial savings as well I'll bet. Good troubleshooting.

There is a hotlink banner at the top of the page bro. But here is the link: http://jpimportz.org/ Good luck.

Hard enough just to find OEM style replacement eh Jon? Took me two plus years I think. Anyways, I do not plan on picking up the trunk anytime soon. Not necessary in my opinion. They do look cool though as well.

@ LL - thanks B) @ jzz30 - I didn't weigh it. Without the packaging, it feels like 15 to 20 pounds. I'll have to double check cost, it escapes me at the moment. I'll have the info in the garage after I install it. @bean_8044 - carbon fiber everything man, and put it on your credit card. ;) Hang in there bro - we couldn't do this whole free world thing without you guys. Keep up the good work. @ Exo - I have not seen any other styles in CF for our car. There is a BN Sports style with the Invader look. It is fiberglass, not sure of any options. Biggest hurdle for you would be shipping. These C-west parts come out of California from GTP International (Importfan). You might try to find out who they source from (C-wings parts come from China according to the person I spoke to over there.) You might be able to get a direct shipping from China to your door. Still gonna be expensive. I might suggest (if you want it bad enough) trying to locate a good lay-up fiberglass shop like a boat hull maker willing to do side work. See what they say about getting you a hood fabbed up. Let me know if you really want one though. I might be able to help you out. I'm hoping the front end looks as good as this hood when it gets here. I was a little worried at first, but I feel GTP has done a great job of getting things taken care of. I would recommend them. I've dealt with John in customer service a couple of times, very accomodating.

Yea, JP Importz ^

Very nice.

Check it out...

Actually, there are some parts for the job for sale right now. I would only trust it in a 93 model though. But most of the time, parts could be hard to find at a fair price.

Straight pipe it. ;)
