Small update:

I got my shift knob a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to post.

Arizona Teal



It's really hard to capture the color in photos, especially with a crappy iPhone camera, but in person the color is amazing! Looks fantastic in my opinion.







It's nice a heavy! I love it. It does get pretty cold and pretty hot since it's painted steel. I can deal with the cold, but some days it gets pretty hot. The paint helps a lot, but it's still going to retain a lot of heat sitting in the sun for 8-10 hours while at work. I decided to be creative and make a cover for it. I've seen people get JDM socks and stuff, but I think that looks weird. Here's what I came up with

Small update. I finally installed the Invidia catless mid pipe.

The throttle response is slightly increased and I can feel a bit more torque. As far as the noise, I couldn't really tell the difference until I drove it for a few days. It's much louder now and you can really hear it in the high RPM range.

I also finally got springs (Eibach sportlines) to get rid of the horrible wheel gap. (Great Christmas gift from the fiance) I plan on putting these on some time this week.

I have ordered the TRD vents as well. These will be paint matched

Update time again. Decided that I was sick of the stock ride height.

Stock height.


Eibach Sportlines


Here's the ridiculous amount of camber these springs make


Then I got these in the mail









Planning to get some tint soon, as well as a front lip. Also looking into a proper photo shoot one of these days

I used Plastidip actually. It's one of their new offerings

If I get bored I may do purple next.

Wow, googled a close up of that color. I like it. I'd been wanting to do wheels in Project Mu teal (Duplicolor Torque n' Teal) but I'm not sure how long I could tolerate it. This would be a cool alternative. Tempting - as much as I dislike plastidip, LOL.

Yeah, I wanted to powder coat them candy teal, but I change my mind a lot so this is the best alternative. It was my first time using plastidip and it turned out pretty well.

Thank you. I was quite the drive, however, it was worth it. I would do it again for sure. Maybe the new Supra will next?
