woudlnt be surprised. My car has been sitting outside the body shop all week so it probably hailed on it to add icing on the cake.

its kinda funny because some times they are the cheapest option too. Its like yea ok Ill take free global overnight shipping.
-

Now that most of the body work was done I ended up prepping the paint for ceramic coat. Big thanks to Tim for assisting me in the process as it made difference. Doesent help the first wash I some how scratched the shit out of the paint even doing two bucket method, brand new sheap skin mitt and what not. Anyway car got buffed with a black finishing pad and Carpro essence+ then followed up with two coats of Cquarts UK 3.0 and a layer of reload. left vs right Glamor shot.... I also made some HDPE splitters for the car on the front, rear and skirts. Rear is flush, skirts are just straight to add a bit more to the flare and the front comes out about 3/4 inch and tapers on the side. Some final assembly photos. Before the exhaust got extended. after

I ended up picking up a TRD strut tower bar for my car and it was in really rough shape. I ended up also modifying it with a brake master cylinder brace. Before Mods Painted and completed Next up was hood pins. Since I had a fiberglass hood I don't feel comfortable using the stock latch as there are a lot of times Ive seen where the hood just flies up which came down to what I wanted to do. Traditionally ive used aerocatches so I went that route but I also purchased some of the 35mm quicklatch pins as well and had them painted to match the body. I ended up opting for the quicklatch. Next up was mounting of the side skirts, I knew these hung low so I needed to be able to remove them easily and quickly. I figured I could use quick latch and come up with a mounting solution and this is what I ended up doing.Works really well and comes off with the press of two buttons. After mounting the bumper I found out the exhaust was pretty sunk in so I extended it out about 3"

I also heard the same thing. I also heard from a good source that this person was "sporadically wearing a mask"

give it 1-2 weeks and I think its going to spike again.

hummm if I can get the hood pins in the JZX90 and skirts on in time I may bring the car out.

Dual boot your Mac. Its incredibly easy to do using bootcamp.

Good deal, I really liked my Fanatac gear that I had. Next rig is going to be direct drive with Heusinkveld pedals probably a fanatec SQ shifter.
-
out of curiosity what wheel/pedal/shifter pedal did you go to? I know you had the g27.

Up for sale is my "old" digitial dash from my JZX. Display was only used about a year until I replaced with the new IC7 display. Absolutely nothing wrong with it and comes with the harness, Haltech CAN harness, flash drive, box and one of the buttons. I lost one of the buttons and cant seem to find it but you really don't need it anyway. This is the Street dash so it has fuel level, handbrake lights, high beam lights, dimmer, turn signals ETC. Can be ran with any CAN system or you can run it entirely separate. CR Price $550.

Ive had a Weber Genesis E-310 that I purchased in 2012 that has been fantastic. For the first few years it was stored in the garage and always been amazing. over the last 2 years its been stored outside under a cover and ive noticed the flavorizer bars are rusting and the grates are also rusting but hell its stored outside and ive never done anything or replaced anything on it yet. I am looking into adding a Trager smoker to my collection though so that will eventually join in.

honestly +1. its been 2+ Months since my account deactivated and its been super refreshing. I miss selling stuff in the groups but thats about it

So go figure, I have the car back in my possession but I am still waiting on bumpers, a door and few other odds and ends back. Because of that I haven't had much ive wanted to do since its not going to get completed. I did do some things though. The brakes on the car have always been kinda crap. Just over all pretty soft and I had it. Toyota is now producing MK4 supra parts now and with that means they are producing TT calipers again. I ended up getting a complete set front and rear to swap out. The front calipers are pretty easy to do the swap, just need the caliper adapters and TT rotors and all done. Rears since the JZX rear rotor is JZX specific I decided to do the swap so I can use USA sourced parts. The problem is the drum part on the supra TT calipers are much larger and the stock JZX shoes cannot be used. Thankfully Project Mu has a conversion pad so I got that. After that I was able to install my new IC7 Display which was more of a pain in the ass as I had to re wire everything I did for the other dash but it was so worth it.

Buck that turned out really nice! happy you guys will finally get to move in soon its been a long time!

+1. My wife's hours got cut big time so just throwing it into the emergency fund for extra padding

if you are in the chair that long you should really consider getting yourself a good chair. Id recommend trying to get a used hermon miller Aeron personally. I have on at home and one I use at work.

No issues since actually but it was a giant pain in the ass. On the back of the house the rear drain was filled with sticks, leaves, roofing nails and what looked like sand. Front of the house I was not so lucky, some of the drainage pipe was not connected fully, 2 places had about a 1 foot dip from dirt settling, bunch of weird ass transitions from angles into the curb, crushed pipe and root penetration. Ended up having to replace all of the front gutter drainage. On top of that I had to pretty much raise the flower bed around the entire house about a half a foot to almost a full foot in one or two places. It also turned out that the sump pump was unplugged when I moved in because it was going bad. So I ended up having to replace that as well. I still haven't cleaned the wall or dry locked it because Ive been lazy tbh.

Small back story when I moved into my house most the gutters were clogged, the grading went back towards the house and naturally you could see where water seeped into the basement. I had fixed the gutters, drainage and the grading but what I was after was for the cinder block wall to be cleaned and anything on it nutralized and then drylocked. I had Ohio basement authority come out becasue I wanted a quote on them to clean and paint my walls with drylock. Which I told them over the phone and they said no problem. When they finally came by the person said they don't paint walls as it will just seep through the paint anyway. They then proposed a full 15k setup for encapsulation plus a huge dehumidifier even though the humidity in the basement was around 39% which he said was very low.

My wife said she had the same thing for 2-3 weeks and was pretty much miserable.

my work ID says emergency operations personnel and its a state Id so I get out of having that paper. I dont imagine they will end up enforcing this anyway considering they said you can travel for outside exersice.
