Yes sir. Even though I am in minnesota and today is 50* Fahrenheit and it feels damn warm. I know that added forces create excessive heat and that can cause allot of damages especially on a car with a cast block and aluminum head.

Heres some pics from tonight.
100% genuine leather no spared expense. Well besides me installing them.
Live action shot.
No flash.
with flash and close up.
My powder coated control arms.
My gutted interior. Should look 1000x's better when it is back together.
I will have more updates throughout the week.
Thanks again to 92nsx for having me over and giving me a hand on the seats.

Jack I'm home by 4ish on Thursdays. Plus I'm only 1 minute off 94

You say we are what, about 20% done with the recovering of the seats. There not to bad installing so far, it is just having the right tool for the right job makes anything quicker. No hog ring pliers But funky has the trick down using a normal pliers, and the drivers seat bottom in the pic looks dam near perfect!!! All it needs now is a good day in the sun.
As for the rear seats Im sure we can make some sort of deal out since I do have a extra set here. The only sad part is that the leather already on the rears is in dam near perfect condition, OEM 20 year old leather. But o-well.

What a nice guy! They are definitely a fun task. I will be doing a write up once we secure another good deal for Rob. (92nsx)
Yeah, he's a good bloke
Took him all up about 10 hours, including removing the seats, removing the old covers, putting on the new ones, and then putting the seats back in.
Looked very tedious!

Very tedious is correct and time consuming. Detail is king on recovering thses seats. I bet the next set we do will take us half the time. Looks like your IC piping is ready to rock and roll along with the 2jz's. Very nice.
Well after several long nights I am still not complete. I did pick up the two custom one off bushings today. And they are pretty sweet.
I also installed both the drivers and passenger seats. Bought some black suede to cover my headliner and side panels with.
Wiring ah yeah. I am picking through a bunch of the body wiring and taking out what I am not using and rewiring what I need to have. A bunch of new relays, a new fuse block and several other bits are going on right now.
My coils also arrived so I have all 6 JZ coils again and picked up a lipp (suprasport) plate that I will modify to have mounts to bolt the jz coils down to.
My gauge cluster I went just a little nuts on and well lets just say the only stock gauges are the fuel level tach and speedo. The others in the cluster are 60mm greddy gauges. One for boost in the spot that the water temp used to be, right next to the tach where it should be lol. And I have a 60mm greddy EGT gauge in the place of the factory oil pressure gauge. And soon I will have a 60mm greddy gauge in the location of the factory boost gauge. Now here is the kicker to this setup I tinted the plastic cover completely black and will be rocking out bright leds. So with the key off the entire cluster is just black and when the key turns on the gauges appear.
Intercooler piping is also now installed.
Tomorrow night I should be sitting back on the ground and sunday I want to finish my custom 4" exhaust up. So far I have the down pipe finished.
I will try to take some nice pics later on.

So tonight I was working on it for awhile since I received my 3000GT ignitor. Got that all wired in and kinda got anxious.....
Attempted a startup for the hell of it and damn does she have a mean growl with an open 4" downpipe.
