I like my 2jz in the GS.

Mixxer, sell the titan, keep the 2 and get the SC. With the left over money you can get a tacoma or something if you really need a truck. If not, more money for mods!

masagsxr · 11-22-2008, 04:15 AM

... yeah i still need the truck. I'm still doing occasional track days with friends on my motorcycle

I would sell the titan and get a smaller truck but then again, I can't keep 3 vehicles. No room in the driveway.

Ji lower your GS already!!

o6spdracer · 11-22-2008, 06:05 PM

I'm eager to get them installed too. I pinned down an appointment to have them installed on 12/22. The hard part was finding someone who is familiar and has installed more than a few EDFC's. The suspension is already waiting for me up North, which is where the shop is, so it'll get done when I'm back up.

Davis · 11-23-2008, 12:44 AM

Sweet.

Junction Produce kit anyone?

white ftw

EvilElvis · 11-23-2008, 04:02 PM

white one looks good, though sunroof

masagsxr · 11-23-2008, 04:26 PM

before i put this thing together or leave it the way it is (OEM no mods)

Mark_Dorman · 11-23-2008, 05:20 PM

Not bad...would look better if it took up the whole tail light oval. How'd you get it apart?

masagsxr · 11-23-2008, 05:25 PM

Lots of patience and heat gun... I've done this tons of times but usually on the head light to take off the amber reflector (honda civics)

heat gun softens up the glue then gently separate the housing from the lense

masagsxr · 11-23-2008, 05:28 PM

Heres a brighter picture. Check the housing (white piece around the edges.. Same type of glue used on those heat glue gun

masagsxr · 11-23-2008, 05:45 PM

Oh... yeah, it would be nice to fill the whole thing. Something off 05-06 M3 tail light would be good.. but that thing is going to be expensive unless they sell pieces of led lights you can put together.

honda_bar · 11-23-2008, 08:44 PM

thanks mixxer, i like the red one that you put up, because of my front clip, it would be easy to return it to near stock (the sides I would have to figure out) I would be painting it anyways. There is a MINT 93 auto near the same area but they want crazy money for it. If I can talk them down, I will just swap trannies with mine since it looks like I might be keeping my car anways. Could you help me?!

masagsxr · 11-23-2008, 09:03 PM

yeah no problem... This is a good excuse for another meet. We can swap everything with the whole gang in 1 day

Davis · 11-23-2008, 09:05 PM

I'll help ya swap Colin!

EvilElvis · 11-23-2008, 09:35 PM
