Every year around July 4th we have an extra day off for preventative maintenance where I work, and every year I spend it doing whatever I want to. This year will be spent working on my Supra and taking care of a buttload of things that should've been done a long time ago. Here's my list:

1. Install Eibach lowering springs (before and after pics to come!)
2. New brake pads all around
3. Adjust E-brake (doesn't work at all)
4. Install SAFC II
5. Install Blitz turbo timer
6. Install stock intercooler that I just flushed, straightened and painted
7. Raise exhaust (cause she's bottoming out a lot these days)
8. Take a serious look at timing - possible cause of sad dyno numbers
9. Install new radio antenna
10. Hardwire in a triple accessory outlet

I should have some help for the springs, but it's a pretty long list for a day - at least for somebody who usually takes his time and tries to get it right the first time. Any bets on how far I can get? I'm afraid it won't be far...

Actually tomorrow's the day. I'm going to give it my all and see if I can finish it off. :)

My exhaust is a 3" MDC elbow and DP. I've hacked the rest of what was originally a 3" custom job by Jon, which now includes a crappy 2 1/2" crush bent POS catback with a Flowmaster muffler. I hate it, but it's much quieter now and it will have to work for a while...

Kyle, I don't think the antenna is going to be that bad. I'll have the quarter trim off for the spring upgrade anway, so access shouldn't be a problem. I decided to buy an amplified, non auto antenna - hopefully it looks alright in the end.

Dave, You are more than welcome to my beer - especially if you can get me through the SAFC and/or TT! :D I am possibly the worst person on this site at wiring, so any advice and/or help would be seriously appreciated. I'm planning on getting the car up on jackstands before 7am and will be knocking things off my list one by one, until I am hopefully done. I'll look through my pm's so I can get your number and give you a call tonight.

Hey man, don't worry about the wiring. Its as straightforeward as they come. I was pretty scared as it was my first time LOL. Only took me about 30min for the tt and maybe 45 for the SAFR (found an Fcon in the way) panels on to panels off.
Good luck
