Springs being ordered next week

Nice looking car!

Mods list is pretty sweet as well. You've done your research.
Dream world, I'd go Volks over Rotas, (wouldn't everyone!) but hey can understand as the te37's are probably 4 times the price!

Look's Great!

best color!

yah te37s that id ideally want are like 4000+$ and rotas seem to be a decent wheel for the price so for now ill get them :)

Yah ive been keeping an eye on all parts that have been released for the car. and i keep checking dyno charts and watching videos and have been singling out specific parts that seem to get great praise :-D

So many mods to do, so little cash to spend. Well, me anyway. :D

Dude anthony i know right!! youre like oh i need that , oh whats this do? oh i need that too. hey but theres this part too i need this FFS! :bonk:

-Update. Toyota Front and rear badges ordered waiting on paycheck to order springs.

-update: RCE Yellows ordered.

So last sunday i went down to CT for my first Auto X with my 86 was a blast did quiet well :) http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...47159558_n.jpg

took first this past weekend in STX class doing good this season :) more to come !

So recently i ordered wheels tires and coilovers.

I bought 17x8 +35 Rota Grid racing in gold. with blue lugs hub centric rings and Dunlop Direzza ZII tires 225/45/17 after i put those on the handling was just insane.

shortly after i got coils bought BC Racing Br coilovers. ride height adjusted evenly and got it aligned. im very happy with the handling and the ride quality.

the only thing that sort of sucks is that the rear camber is un adjustable until i get control arms. so im sitting at -3.4 in the rear and adjusted the front camber to -1.1

sunday im auto crossing once again at the fairfield county sports car club event. to test how much more traction and handling improvements i get from this set up next will be a full corner balance

I also have an update. i Recently added Ferodo DS2500 Pads for front and rear.

I added Stop Tech SS brake lines front and rear.

ATE Super Blue brake fluid.

Perrin Brake Booster brace.

The brakes after the installs are an incredible improvement. i first did the brace, then added lines and fluid, then added pads the increase with each part is amazing. Highly recommended .

New Update.

Sorry i havent been on in a while ive been having one busy summer.

so i havent tracked a in a little but im going to be at the end of the month. i got bored of the hp and sound so i decided to go to the next step, so i bought a catless front pipe made by Invidia. very easy install like the cat back system. nice welds and good material. the sound is deff louder and more race car like sound lol. i can definitely feel the hp and trq gain when you step on it. more responsive and just to test it out. my friend with a bone stock brz rolled off a light with me we went from 1st to 4th gear and i was a good 3 car lengths ahead at least. and the stock catted pipe weighs a ton. this new one weighs 3.9 pounds or so

Looks great nice to see these getting tracked

thanks dude :) gotta upload my photos from newjersey motorsport park im going at the end of the month too at thunderbolt:w00t:

NP! Thinking of picking my self one up ^_^ looking forward for the new pics!!!

yay! track car!

I see that you are planning on getting the Mishimoto oil cooler. I had spoke with someone over at Mishimoto a few weeks ago and their oil cooler does not come with a thermostat. I know that the Perrin one does and personally think it looks way better as well. Perrin makes some quality parts.:party0030:

maddd money for that kit. its kind of ridiculous how much some of the basic mod parts for this car costs. 600$ for an oil cooler is kinda out of control lol

So I decided that I love this car soo much im not going to track her much,too scared of possibly crashing or someone hitting me. So I bought a 86 RX7 turbo II track prepped for racing in. cheap car and parts are cheap too. Ill still use the 86 for auto cross and maybe a few drift events

This.

Agreed! When I compare the prices of bolt-ons for this car and my previous cars, it's one hell of a difference :(

She is looking good Daniel!!!

i know!! like headers should be less control arms should be less. lots of stuff

buying a crank pulley next. and my friend for the holidays is buying me fog lights :happyanim::happyanim:

When I saw the prices for control arms, I was like yeah...no.... :thumbdown:

im going to need them my camber is like -3.3

update- installed raceseng cam plate great fix very easy

Being from Stone Ridge I can only imagine you enjoy the Shawangunk byway semi-regularly correct?

i actually havent been there before lol

You are missing out. After feeling the grip of my new wheel/tires, I can't wait to go back out there. It is truly a fantastic road with amazing views.
