Its black, base model M/T. Milage was 11kms when I got it, and currently at 150kms. Hope to meet the group soon.
*I am from Alabang
Current:
1. Removed rear 'toyota' word emblem
2. Removed some trunk tools
3. Sucked out 3/4 liter of engine oil as it was way over filled from the factory
4. Gassed up with Shell Vpower Racing
5. Breaking-it-in softly via 50-80% throttle until 4k rpm and on an increasing pace as
milage increases. plenty of decelerations to induce vacuum
6. Minor crickets at 850rpm-1.1k rpm on 2nd gear acceleration, usually after bumps/humps (very minimal and I think its normal)
Initial Plans:
1. Paint sealant, Paint cleaner this week
2. Greddy SP Elite axle back (ordered)
3. TRD Shift knob
4. TRD strut bar
5. 18's gram lights silver
6. Smaller plate frame (our cars come with European plate frames which is too long
for our local plates)
7. Maybe a set of coilovers (thinking twice as it might ruin the cars suspension
balance)
Tye300 / TGT 86, I work somewhere in Ortigas and I am pretty sure that the black 86 with TGT plate is yours. I always see your car parked at El Pueblo basement parking in which I park everyday. Your car is a total baddass. I admire the things you did, very simple and elegant -- from rims to interior modifications. Where did you get your parts? We should see each other soon.

Victorb,
Yes that's me. I'm always at El Pueblo because I'm a tenant there. (Archipelago7107) Thanks for the kind words, hope to see your car and meet you soon. I got my rims from Emperor Autokozmetix in Home Depot ortigas and the TRD parts from the Hong Kong distributor Kingston. If you need help getting some parts just let me know.
P.S.
As I said in my previous post, gassing up with V-power seems to make the crickets under the hood appear. In my experience gassing up with Blaze makes it go away.
