Building a USDM 147

Name is Jimmy, i work for a shop in Canada called RCTS Research and Development, I am currently building a JZS147. Car is a 1993 GS300.

Currently the car has;

Exterior:
-5000K 50w HID's low beam
-6000K 35w HID's high beam
-Stock USDM corner fogs with yellow H3 lamps (soon to be HID)
3 sets of rims
-SSR Koenig 18x10 (+9) - 18x11 (-4) (summer)
-Stock Supra MK4 wheels (what i use when my rubber is worn out from too much camber :P)
-Stock Lexus GS rims with snow tires (winter)

Looking to toss on a Junction Produce kit next, and of course PAINT! :)

Engine:
-Custom HKS Intake with intake muffler eliminated
-Upgraded ignition coil / wires / plugs
-HKS downpipe
-HKS Hi-Power exhaust system (120mm x 2)
-Greddy oil filter relocate kit

Just bought an Aristo front cut, so i will be swapping to a GTE motor, with USDM steel turbo's, USDM injectors, with F Con V pro for management. Other parts include MK4 Supra Koyo Rad, HKS intercooler kit.

Brakes and Suspension:
-K-Sport Kontrol fully adjustable coilovers
-OEM discs with Endless CC-X pads
-New OEM upper arms (front)

Just bought a set of MK4 twin turbo Supra Calipers, just in the process of rebuilding them, those will go on there with a Stop-Tech STG2 kit (stainless lines, powerslot rotors, RBF600 fluid)

Other:
-Odyssey 1500DT
-Monster 4g wiring kit
-US Amps 1600.4XT
-2 x Hertz HX600 subs
-Focal 100KRS front speakers





Nothing special as of yet but i have big plans for her.

This seemed like a good forum with some knowledgeable users on these builds, so i figured i would join.

I look forward to being part of the community!

oh, and this car was a mess when i bought it, i wish i took some before pictures. some raver owned it lol... the whole interior was covered with coffee and garbage, took me 5 hours to clean the front of the car out...and the carpet is still a mess to my standards. Car was bone stock when i bought it, so i've put a fair amount of work into her.

if anyone has any tips for interior restoration, i'm all ears. i would really appreciate the help.
