Oh she doesn't complain she just thinks it is weird. In fact she doesn't complain about much and being married to me for 34 years it means she has the patience of a saint!

My work schedule is random so I can't even sleep a normal schedule if I tried. #pilotLife

Review of this part will come later... but for now, if you're looking into one of the side exhaust cover, don't buy Innovate Dynamics cover. Not worth it, go w FT86SF's cover.

XD

I would've gone the cardboard route but there might be days in the summer when I do want light to come in.

And yeah, its starting out small but adding more when I have extra "whatever" money. 3rd shelf will be a 1/18th scaled model of an FRS (lava, of course) and ae86.

@MisterSheep @LOLS2K @ichitaka05 build thread hijack/update: (also sorry about the dirty car)

So today I got a lot done!! I broke a wheel stud, stupid things hahahaha! Toyota wont have one until Tuesday so that sucks but whatever its only one.







Got the front coilovers on and set them to be near factory height. I did a good job I think as both front and back are equal on each side and the front is sitting like 1/4 inch lower then the back if that. This isnt my final height, I just dont want to look stupid on stock rims with a low car. I also put condoms on my coils to protect them.







Now this here is what the rear adjuster looks like. Isnt that guy cute!! It makes adjusting the rebound super easy from the trunk.


Now this is the part ichi is probably most interested in. So you know how the other day we were talking about how my spring rates are really high right? Well I must say these coilovers ride far better then I ever could have imagined. The car is stiffer, but in a weird way. It almost feels more comfortable to me. I would say these could pass as OEM if someone didnt know any better.... until you hit a large slow speed bump, like a speed bump. much much stiffer there but it still feels much better then I could have imagined. The responses these coilovers give with the digressive valving on turn in is crazy. Any input from me is nearly instantly transferred to the ground. As far as performance goes it does better then stock with my winter tires (which isnt saying much as they are near the end of their life and winter tires lol) I didnt have a chance to push the car too hard as I am still on winters as I said already. Overall I am very very impressed especially for the price range these are in.

Now below are some pics of the sturt bars. These are much more commanding in person and seem to just fade away in the pics haha!




This is what my ride height looks like and will be for probably a month until the summer wheels go on



I also didnt take pics of the door sills, TRD door stabilizers, or the header wrap, or the LCA's, but those things were also done today

Thanks for reading and keep your eyes open for more random updates


edit: TL;DR Because Racecar

How's your custom exhaust sound? Which mufflers/resonators did you end up using?

@go_a_way1

Why would being lowered on stock wheels look bad?

Why so worried about what other people think?

I'm pretty sure you're gonna break those adjusters
