That looks interesting... What's the plan?

stevesnj · 02-07-2016, 06:09 PM

Flat bottom wheel. Have carbon fiber on the way to sleeve it. Never worked with CF so this is a cheap experiment

Plus I love the flat bottom steering wheel and how it looks.

How can you tell where the bite point is without it being connected to the car?

The bite point of the clutch to the flywheel.

Carbon sleeve on!! Resin tomorrow.

stevesnj · 02-21-2016, 08:56 PM

Finally got the wheel done and installed. Next to the upholstery shop for some cosmetic clean up.

Started to white out the lettering on the tires, Have to do opposite side of the lettering yet. Work in progress.

Finished up my CF wheel last week and did some arts and crafts and put Toyota and GT on the stripes of my shift knob

A big thanks for posting the pictures with the TRD lowering springs!!! I just purchased mine and am looking forward to installing them next month. I have the TRD drop in air filter and the exhaust currently installed. I have the TRD brake pads front and rear (yet to be installed) and I hope to have the swaybars front and rear purchased and installed this year. Anyways thanks again!!

Steve,

I was wondering if you were interested in purchasing the TRD swaybars also?

Not at the moment, sorry.

No worries, I wasn't selling them or anything. I am planning to purchase them to complete my suspension package. I wanted to have the complete TRD suspension. Anyways, will let you know how this works if i get it.
