    Not saying you have to do it, but small wheels would be dope as hell


    no worry that looks cool, I think I need at least 16" on the UCF20 brakes the clearance with the stocks looks like 1mm.


    The other reason is that keeps me waffling is not being able to run RCA's with 16". Do you know from experience how much they help?

    Love the car man, glad to see something different than a VIP LS. I'm curious, how much of a difference does that wheel make on a car like this? I know the stock wheel is big, but does the smaller wheel emulate a quicker rack well?
    RGs would look nice, I keep flip flopping between big and small wheels in my head and no stretch to some stretch.

    the rack sucks the steering wheel didn't help at all, but it is all part of the character of driving it. Supra and the SC racks are a bit quicker but I hear they have different mounting points.

    It might be more of an annoyance once i have the suspension bushings and brakes refreshed with tires that grip though.

    This looks AMAZING! Can't wait to see what wheels you're going to put on this.

    190E is still pretty bulletproof though.



    I managed to get my Grinta in, makes me feel like my car is cooler than it really is when I'm driving

    I know this feeling, I pur a new steering wheels Luke 2 weeks ago and๒ it feels like a new cars

    Great base, please don't do crazy camber and fitment, this lexus deserve better

    I love how your DA sits, I'm aiming for something similar this time around. not so much stretch and slam as the GC.

    I think it needs a different shift lever now, even though it is an auto, it is pretty fun to rip around in now in "2". I can now feel the breaking point of the 60 series all seasons without sliding into the passenger seat

    I'd like to flock the dash too

    I found this and some ebay listings in Japan for T127FO & T128FO, can't wait till they get here. The weight savings from removing the full size spare and other misc parts woke up the car a little, I'm excited to see what the seats do.

    Not to mention not sliding around in the stockers anymore.




    its going to look silly for a while in such a stock car, but putting my p1s in... IDGAF though it makes driving so much more fun




    I also have some Ingalls sway bushings and JDM Celsior badges coming from Central Pine
