Hahah shit that was me, then. Be careful though, you'll put danger to that manifold.

You don't want your floor panel to fall out.

A buddy bought me the Circuit Werkz Pulley Kit the other day, so here they are! While not high end, they look good and should get the job done. Free parts are free parts!

Also before I go for a tune I'm definitely gonna focus a bit on suspension. In some not so legal testing I noticed that my frame could definitely be a bit stiffer after throwing the car around a bit.

In keeping with Toyota's love of red suspension(and to compliment my red TRD Sway Bars), I'm gonna pick up Agency Power's full 8 Piece Brace Set, their Strut Bar, and the FT86SpeedFactory V2 Strut Braces for a full and solid setup. Can never have enough suspension pieces and make the car handle even better to my liking. Will probably do this within the next two months or shorter if I can help it.

Can i has free parts?

Sounds like a plan.

Been a month since I did anything, but I moved! Now that I'm almost fully settled in it's time for me to actually get stuff done! Within the month I'll be making a trip over to @The Racers Line to have some parts put in. Stay fresh!

As a teaser, here are some shots of the car freshly waxed after the roadtrip. Needed a good bath and shine.

It's the little things that matter, right? Added some vinyl for a more personal touch.

Had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Neal and Ian today at the shop. After my unfortunate blowout on my Street Basis coils on the rear passenger side, it was time for an upgrade and they were happy to help. They installed my Tein Flex Z's, MTEC Shift Springs, Whiteline Front and Rear Endlinks, and Whiteline Positive Shift Kit; and I can honestly say I had an amazing time.

The guys are friendly, the shop is nice, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. Not even five minutes in I knew I wanted to go to Racers Line from here on out. Already scheduling my next install appointment as is.

Definitely worth it. Consider me a loyal customer as of now.

These coils are meaty!:

After the drop I now sit pretty at 1.9 and 1.8 for my drop:

Dampening Settings at 4 Clicks from Maximum Setting too:

A few days before this happened my OFT arrived! Tinkered around with it, and am happily running a Stage 2 UEL Backfire tune. This thing looks like loads of fun and I'm starting to see my build materialize right before my eyes!

Next up are some Diode Dynamic Fog Lights, Whiteline Steering Rack and Pinion Mounts, and a kickass Fullblown Motorsports Oil Cooler are next.

If I'm lucky, my TOMS full underbody brace set will be here soon. Having the braces powdercoated red to match the FT86 Speedfactory Strut Bar that arrived the other day, so hopefully everything will be nicely tied together.

It's been a while hasn't it?

Well the car isn't dead and neither am I.

Finally adjusted the suspension a bit and got some new tires. Nitto NT05's just look so juicy.

Of course I then proceeded to go for a latenight drive, like any grown adult.

A few days later I decided to finally wake up early enough for Cars N' Coffee. You'd be surprised how much I hate mornings.

A few days later I hit up The Racer's Line again. My driver's side rear Whiteline Endlink decided to snap itself clean in two, so I used this as a good reason to not only have it replaced, but also install the Whiteline Outrigger Insert, slap on some Tredwear, and actually slap on vinyl and slap some slap....stickers...slap?

I also finally ordered my plate! Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
