Have two for now. White car is up for sale. This car was WAY too good of a deal to pass up. First autocross with it tomorrow morning already.

A brother with tattoos .. Let's hope he doesn't lead the other a stray.

Not today, but over the past week-ish.

Swapped out my Harrop kit for something with a bit more in the "crazy sounds" department. Hopefully it'll be a bit more kind to my transmission as well.

WHAT?!

Why was the Harrop not kind of your transmission? haha

Automatic. The instant torque made it do all sorts of dumb crap when shifting.

Ah! I did not know your car was automatic. Hopefully the turbo will work better

I can finally stop worrying about how awful the front end looks with all those gaps. Bought the headlight support brackets to add on to the side marker bumper bracket and now it's 99% gone. I am happy.

Where did you get those?? I Google but only find the factory brackets

Spent the day @The Racers Line, got a few things done. Hella horns installed, black plastidip on the crash beam, new steering wheel and the OEM Toyota armrest installed.

Is that one of the steering wheels from 86worx? Looks like exactly what I want. Guessing all controls work properly too?

Also curious about that, I want a D shaped wheel

Yeah, it's this one (black version of course):
https://www.86worx.com/real-original...eel-kouki.html

Really liking the grip, so much better than OEM. The section you grip is thicker and grippier material. The flat bottom shape has a nice feel to it too. Everything seems to work, not sure if I've pressed absolutely every button yet but I've used most of them. Neal swapped everything over from the OEM wheel and it's perfect so far.

EDIT: Also, just a heads up for anyone looking to buy it. Took about 1 month from when I placed the order to receive the steering wheel. Must have been made to order, shipped out of Japan and shipping was only 3 days so seems to have been a production delay.

That and I'm tired of the stock 2017 texture being slippery as hell. Why on earth did they change it from the old perforated-like texture in the zenki models?

Looks awesome! I really would love to replace the 2017 wheel.. I hate how slippery it is. It's just hard to stomach the price, haha.

Definitely looks like a nice quality steering wheel, though.
