I'll be honest it'll probably just be a UEL header and a tune after that. I've been looking at supercharger kits, but for now there's now way I could afford it by being a full-time college student and a part-time job Maybe once I graduate I'll be able to afford one lol.

Thanks It's one of my friend's we did something to it that day I just can't remember what

[VittorioS]

I noticed that on a lot of photos I took, my front wheels looked perfectly straight or as if it had positive camber. I ordered SBC camber bolts and installed them this morning. I set them for around -1.5 degrees of camber, but I'm not going to guarantee how accurate that is until I actually get an alignment lol.

Initial impressions are the turn in and grip on corners are a lot less understeer.

In the process I lowered my car a little bit more.




Also did my 14k oil change, well my friend did ... he was supposed to help me but the Toyota Tech in him made him do the whole thing

I just followed you, it's @vittoriops But I can't imagine having to wait months after spending so much, but yeah it definitely looks like it's worth it

followed back!

My friend was getting new headlights so I ended up trading my old Valentis for her Winjets. I'm currently restoring them as they were a little bit faded, but I'm very excited to install them onto the car!

[VittorioS]

Today we installed the winjet headlights. It took my friend and I about 25-30mins in total to install them. We both thought the bumper would be difficult to remove but we had it off within 10mins or so

The process of installation was straight forward. We had so much time that we ended up going to a local backroad and taking some pictures

Yep

On the first pics of the car I had a Canon T3i with a 50mm 1.8, on my most recent pics I have been using a Canon 7D with the standard kit lens 18-55 or a 24mm 2.8

I added UEL Headers and flashed it with the OFT. I tried E85 for a while, but realized that it was a hassle since E85 isn't around in my area.

I also got the FT86 Speed Factory Sard Style wing for looks.
Quick video on that
