Had the rear 20% tinted. On the Celica I could do this alone, but the 86 is very hard to reach, so had it done by some pro's. Really nice result:



Also found a very cheap and nice (plastic) TRD mod



Installed the UEL header yesterday. I've coated it with VHT flameproof, searched for a profi job, but unfortunately this costs more than the header here in the Netherlands, so decided to do a DIY job. Installion was very easy with access to a lift, had to raise the engine a bit for the downpipe swap. Very pleased with the result, this really changes the car, I feel more power, but also it sounds so much better, this is how the car should have sounded stock. Still debating if I should change the rest of the exhaust too, but afraid it will be to loud



This is how it sounds, sound even better when it's really hot. I'll post a new video soon:
