sexy resto. Where did you say that you were getting those fog capsules? I had a pair but now I just have one. The other broke when I was trying to modify in order to get into the fixture.
How did you get those capsules in their anyways.. I was having a bit of trouble. LoL PM me and let me know please or just post a link to a possible write up.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys... you can get those capsules from a member on here called RazoE http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?77320-LOTS-of-Lexus-Acura-foglight-capsules...
To get them in the fog it depends what year you have if its a pre 89 you have to open the back of the foglight with some type of flat head then push the capsule in. If its a 89+ you take out the bulb holder and put the capsule inside while putting the ring to hold it in place.. Check the link above there is more info on how to install it and buy it

I would tint the windows I got Huper Optik Ceramic 25% tint on mine and I love the way it looks also keeps the interior very nice and cool on these 100+ Houston summer days, if only we could tint our windshields it would be even cooler inside lol.
looks good, im gonna start searching for a good place to tint it. Im thinking 5% in the rears and 15% up front..
Well its been a while since i updated, I got to do a few little things like replace the 2 square bump stops located on the hatch, Thankfully DM includes new screws, the original ones got stripped cause for some reason Toyota decided to put locktite on the...
Then decided to change up the interior a bit by installing a Jza70 Steering wheel with a NRG short hub and quick release:

I made a diy if your thinking about doing the same:

That's unfortunate, any who....keep up the great work man, it really is coming together nicely.
Update:
This past Sunday i get a call from Suspectsupra aka Pedro regarding if i was interested in a jdm 2jz engine he had for sale, We basically agreed in a price over the phone and next thing i know the motor was being delivered to my house the next day. I got a aristo 2jz, rear sump(not installed), R154 and jz bellhousing.
Here are some pics of receiving my first 2jz:
The next day i started removing parts to begging preparation for some new parts:
Trying to break loose the crank bolt with my cousin without sucess, had to call Pedro for help :1zhelp:
Cams are dirty so i will be removing them for some cleaning.
A bit of cleaning:
Need to start ordering parts soon. I will be replacing:
-water pump
-oil pump
-Cam seals
-front and rear crank seals
-timing belt
- timing idler pulley
-timing tensioner
-replacing front sump... etc

Nice build man. I'll be watching to see what you do with the 2J.
I'm pretty sure that is a turbo motor already. The ge's have a y-pipe that goes over the valve covers and the gte's have the front facing intake. I could be wrong though.

Thanks, yes you are correct this a 2jz-gte which originally came twin turbo from factory. As far as plans go i will probably go single turbo with a borg warner s360 aka 83-75 or a s362 and possibly using a cast manifold. Plans might change but with that setup ill be fine.
Just went through the whole thread, awesome build. Makes me jealous that I don't have my own garage to work on my car and clean her up. NYC is not car friendly at all. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man.. I know man it must suck not having a garage. That white supra you see in the pics belongs to my brother but will be going to NYC in a few months when me and Pedro get finished refreshing the engine and installing a r154 in it. Maybe when its over there you guys can go to meets..
