I don't think we'll be getting any self-deprecating pics of this year one beauty of a car, but just in case...subscribed.

LOL will revisit later.. the first one I locked instead cause who cares..

The second one could go in either..

The third I tried to move but another mod moved it while I was.

And then I stopped since Ichi or someone is moving them anyways.

Replacement engine isn't a bad thing really.. especially in a 13 if it was repaired under the recall ha
that's exactly it. i'm tired of problem cars. i want to get in, turn the key, and go. i don't want to have to wonder what other corners were cut in the process

so my TRD BRO had lots of mods when i bought it. im happy with it. i love it actually. the same with my house. it was 13 years old when i bought it. its now my castle. i decided to take a chance. the rice on the FR-S is embarassing(what i found on one wheel today in one pic) but lots of potential once this thing is sorted out.

It's honestly pretty shocking the repairs I've seen from professional shops. Obviously not all of them cut corners but it seems like most of them do based on my experience.

I'll never understand why one can't use the equivalent bolt or clip instead of a sheet metal screw making new holes in panels instead for example.. but damn if that hasn't happened on every wrecked car that I've touched (that I haven't fixed myself anyways).

Car doesn't look bad.. minus the 4x4 spec wheel gap that might even be bigger than your 4runner lol

Well, enjoy. I guess books, stories and legends wouldn't exist if nobody made mistakes or took chances.

Here's to starting your own book
