Are you trying to sell the TRD Carbon Fiber side fender inserts?

Hiya, sorry. I'll be keeping them for the time being.
Not too keen on trying to remove them from the fender for fear of damaging either the fender or the dry CF as that adhesive is damn sticky and there is not budge(flex) of the CF canards/winglets/scuddles/vents. Contact "Jesse Streeter" for them as that's where I sourced mine from. |

Track Tool Box
Well... I have a track day coming up on boxing day. Decided to make up a small 'Track Tool Box'
- OEM Scissor Jack - Dual Piston Tyre Foot Pump with Guage - Kinchrome Torque Wrench - 1/2inch 450mm Breaker Bar - Cheap Shit 40 piece socket set - Spare OEM Oil Filter and lastly.. this is also in the toolbox - Little SCA tool bag.. including the following Allen Key set, Flare Wrench Set, Assorted E-Torx Sockets, side cutters, pliers, needle nose pliers, flat pliers, long and short philips and slotted screwdrivers, oil filter removal tool, 3M VHB, 2x magnetic pickup tools, plastic removal tools, superglue, zip ties, duct tape, aeroguard.. that's about it I'll have to get some spare hose clamps too while I'm at it. Some pics. I put the obligatory go-fast stickers on them. Since I'm not going to put them on the car I'd put them on the tool box instead. Masking tape with cardboard on the lower part is there to prevent any deep cuts/scratched caused by the sharp corner edges of the tool box(its an el-cheap $15 tool box). ![]() ![]() - And since I'm such a distrusting fellow, I got some bike chains to secure the toolbox with(loop around an undercover post/pillar, secure my track wheels with too. Bargain at ~$8.00 each.

Bolted in my F/E bracket. Used to be secured with self tapping screws which isn't allowed under CAMS rules.

In awe of your build! Not sure if anyone has asked.. but how do you like the Top Secret bonnet dampers? How is the build quality? Is there any movement from where they secure to the engine bay oce the hood hits its peak when opening?

Usually on track day, I'll leave the hood 'balance' and propped up about 40cm above the headlights so allow engine eat to escape. Can't really do that with some of the non TS ones. |
