UPGRADE YOUR PREVIA WITH JDM PARTS

Kon-nitiwa! I bought this 1997 Toyota Previa LE/SC Supercharged with 91000 miles on it. This will be my new company project and I think the most dificult project. Reason? Not many parts available in U.S

YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CONVERSION PROJECT OF A MINIVAN. THIS IS NOT A PICTURE STOLEN FROM A JAPANESE WEBSITE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION CALL ME AT (813) 887-4935 ATTN: RUBEN





This is my first trophy for my Previa at Hot Import Night.
The Hottest VIP Japanese.


THIS IS THE FIRST CAR SHOW (HIN MIAMI 2007)
SEE THE SECOND PAGE FOR MORE PICS.

Next day after the show in the Miami Beach Hotel

Here is some pictures of the stock Previa:



Now i'm working on the project that will look like this one.


I already have the headlight (black housing), side markers (black housing), grille (chrome) and bottom metal trim directly from Japan. Special thanks to Akira in Japan for all the help to get this parts. Arigatou...

Now I lowered the Previa with Tanabe Sustec Spring set. Lower about 1.8" on the front and 2" on the back. Exactly what I want.

Already have a awesome alarm and tint window 5%.
Next step is body kit. Got Origin VIP body kit. Wheels also coming 20" x 8".




Hard part on the body kit installation is that in Japan de sliding side door is on the Driver side and the US version is on the passenger side. That's means a lot of modification on the body kit. Here's a picture testing the front end.



Here's more pics.






Now working on convert the left side door panels into the right...HARD WORK.

Well, one side almost done

One side completed ready for paint.


Last update:
Passenger side done ready to mount the doors






THIS IS THE MAN (PHILL) WHO DESERVE AL THE CREDIT FOR THIS PROJECT.


Now, this is the last update on the conversion. We installed the headlights and side markers with the Blue HID headlights and Yellow HID fog lights. Van is complete painted and ready for buffing for a final touch. See the pictures and tell me how Phill and Nick are making this awesome unique conversion.







Now the JDM Kouki tail light installed on the Previa. It's a hard to do fitment and cutting wires. Both headlight and tail lights need to cut the metal mounting to fit.



We're working inside now with the gauges. We install a Turbo gauge (Van is Supercharged) Volt and Oil Pressure gauges. Tel me what do you think about location. The gauges change up to 7 colors to match the interior dash.



A little upgrade on the engine compartment is a Fujita Air Filter. Big change.

Here's the Beauty out the shop. Almost done.



This is the last update video. Take a look to this project almost done.
