[Guni]

Just get the thing dyno-ed already!!!!

[jusuo]

Get it powercoated in white! :)

Although cleaning the brake dust may be a bitch...

Yeah I was thinking about that but then I can use the money instead to get it tuned with the Greddy Piggyback I Got! :-D LoL I have the harness as well but waiting the the exhaust to be done before going ahead! :D

Go the white wheels will look good.

Just a quick update,

I heard where i have already paid for my varex that it will not be here until July. I am so upset because i wanted it so bad before the meet. Anyways, I asked for a refund and hopefully I can get something organised before then.

Apart from that, I finally got the wheels sandblasted and powdercoated. :) I will put them on very soon.

Very soon, I will be getting the TRD rear strut (thanks to Guan) and an ultraracing front strut. :)

So stay tune...

[thegourou20]

Put the wheels on the car and voila :)

What do you reckon?

If black is your thing, then all is good,

but i personally don't like black rims, change them over to white goodness :P

Forgot to mention, it needs lowering... you could go 4WD'in in that thing :P

That's the plan...I will try and keep it to a 3 colour variation all round the car with black, blue and red.

Currently, I bought so much stuff it is not funny.

On monday, I saw the following brake pads on ebay and I could not resist:

The brakes I have currently on the car are not the best. After some heavy braking they are not as effective as I want them to be. So hopefully, in the very near future I will have an upgraded brake set up. (more or less like Guan)

I will keep everyone updated...

[Guni]

So cheap .... :(

Oh ..... Didn't realise I was your inspiration :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Come on .......... Quickly catch up!!!!!

White wheel FTW !!!!

[thegourou20]

I try to learn from the best :-D So you better not disappoint me aye :P LoL

[thegourou20]

Just a quick update guys before the national meet....did the JDM tail light mod during the weekend, put the TRD rear strut in the car as well and also got the varex installed(havent hard wire it yet though :( ). Beautiful sound. I am so happy with everything really. :) Will post pictures later.

Thanks mate. CES CAI is awesome. :) With the CAI only I could feel it definitely from around 3000+ rpm and yeah the sound of it @ cold start and when you hit lift is so cool man...lol

I've got springs and Shocks to sell too Jonathon.

just ready to go into your ride!

Yeah Andy I know i know but it is a bit too expensive for me atm because i can get new king spring lows for $200 cash and KYB shocks for $612.95 delivered. :-l I would buy may be if.... :P

we will be almost twins at the meet :)

nice work mate

Thanks mate...yeah bad Simon but I still think you are ahead of me ;) I still got boring calipers atm :(

Btw no pics yet because it has been raining lately :-l

[Blind Kid Seeks]

I'll do my springs for $180... the rears are only a month old. the fronts have only done 25000kms.

[Evo7]

holy carpola,

i can't believe i get to ride shotgun in this beast B)

Looking foward to seeing it in action :D

[thegourou20]

Finally got around in getting the car lowered with KYB shocks and king lows... :-D

Also, got the ultra racing front strut and the rear control arm bar fitted as well (Thanks to Guan). ;)

Very happy with the results. I must say that I do not feel the annoying vibrations I use to have through my steering wheel anymore. So driving the car is even more enjoyable now.

I still have not put the TRD sway bar on the car yet and also got the ported headers to put on the car but the appointment keeps getting cancelled...grrr :-l

To be continued...

[kolourhero]

Lookin so much better. Good work!

[Guni]

and I'm on 4WD :(

I miss that height ....

Looks good johnny!!! Tell me how it handles!
