this side exit exhaust was sick as hell... but too loud to be daily driven, since my gs400 got hit bad by a drunk driver.

Its looking good. With the wire tuck the biggest eyesore in the engine bay as far as your brake system goes is the brake booster itself. Utilizing a delete kit that will also place the reservoir on top of the master will only help more. Talk about a DRASTIC change. The 2Gs are already overly crowded in that Driver side corner so it keeps the motor from having that "floating" illusion.

I deleted my brake booster but now I am fiddling with changing everything out completely so that the entire system is inside the cabin. Being an auto this means I will have nothing on my fire wall at all besides my an fittings for my boost gauge and nitrous lines as well as my quick disconnect when I find a decent deal.
 
WHat color did you decide upon?

Wasnt this suppost to be a wire tuck " how to"? :p
 
Here is the new color!! tadaaaaaAAAaAAAaaa!!

its graphite gray pearl. a39 is the paint code i think.
the clear coat has green pearl in it that you could only see in the sun at an angle..

unfortunately, the green pearl came out too strong over the black on the roof and now the roof looks dark emerald green...what a fail.

So you're not running power brakes? How is it?

I almost went out to the garage tonight, but then I wound up reading this thread. It is looking good.

it wasnt that easy man... i had to figure everything out my self.. there was no write up for a dsm on how to do a wire tuck, and my plan to do one failed because i didnt document enough while i was working at it.

i like my brake booster.. thanks though. i know which kit you talk about.

Nope, no booster. I had a method for installing one but there's no point. Its like not having power steering, your car still steers fine doesn't it. Just takes a little more pedal pressure (some times) but coming to a regular stop is pretty close to normal. I quite enjoy the pedal feel.

There are quite a few, especially for 2Gs. I believe I'm the only one who has done a 1G one but 2Gs have more info than anyone, just gotta search.
 
amazing!!!

where'd you get the upper window spoiler thing? im likin' it!

Give a link, I would like to see your work. :)
 
I was thinking of selling my dsm but after seeing your built I think I am going to pass on that. I wish we had more people like you in the east coast so you can work on are cars. I like everything you did o your car makes me want to dream.
