After already doing two of these you think he'd be done already. lol. j/k.
I woulda never thought about relocating the OEM damper. I woulda just ripped the thing off. haha. I guess it still allows for full steering travel mounted like that huh?

well this grey 88 the maroon 88 and my black 88 all had the correct ebrake .. the pivot wheel is on the inside not the outside .
You have to at least massage it a bit or like toyminator says parts will rub or hit the bolts and bracket at the ebrake.
so i just drill out the spot welds for the bracket and pound it in a bit .. then just make a new bracket with some counter sunk bolts .
this gives me a little more than 1/2 inch more room .I know it doenst sound like alot but when installing the radiator and puller fans every little bit helps .

im pretty sure you could get the 4runner cluster to work , may need to change some senders but again im not really sure . you would also need something like this to run the speedometer

just to expesive for me to use and not sure if they are compatible with the lexus , if you get the whole lexus car its just alot cheaper to use the sc cluster and it looks way better than the 4runner cluster , and not to difficult to modify.

ok so finally go the car
1992 sc 400 $700
traction control ,hydraulic fan
118,000 miles
the funny thing is we tried to buy this car 2 weeks ago for $1300 , the owner sold it for $1400 . then the guy that bought it took all the interior out for his car and relisted it for $1000 and we ended up getting it for $700 .
got it on friday afternoon , pulled everything we needed on saturday and today called some scrappers, they cut it up and took it .. in a carbed toyota
ready for the scrap yard
and after getting all the parts off this car i will say its way better to get an ls 400 alot easier .
we have to change the throttle body , hydraulic fan set up along with the oil pan ..
i do have those parts its just the extra work to change them out ..
