Finally fixed my axle. I might have been able to just clean it out, replace the boot, and run new grease. I just didn't want to risk it being an issue. Still not sure if the vibration is still there yet. will do more testing after work.

This thread definitely helped my work day go by so far. This is amazing work you've done. I'm very impressed and inspired!
I super curious how this thing drives now compared to stock (obviously a lot faster) but also handling wise and what not? Also, how many people have you taken by surprise? haha |

The car drives very similar to how it did before the swap from what I remember. Nothing glaringly obvious. I really need to go test drive a new one to see the difference between a stock new one and mine. Taken quite a few by surprise. My favorite is opening the hood and seeing peoples reaction as they expect to see a turbo FA20. On another note. Been looking at radiators as I need to replace mine. Really should do a factory replacement to make A/C condenser mounting easier, but Having a smaller one to make intake routing easier would nice. Little under 10" Tall. More than enough room to run a filter over with ducting. Dual pass so it shouldn't lose too much cooling capacity.  Or two of these with the gap in the middle filled by the filter.

Moved the gauges. Still not the best oil pressure.

Small update. Did an oil change the other day. Looked normal. Small amount of very fine silver in the oil. Nothing out of the ordinary for a second oil change. Going to be watching closely on the next one. Everything should be flushed out for the most part. I also have an issue of using oil. So I need to figure that out. Could very well be the stroker. I have heard a proper catch can will fix this, so I will look into adding another one pulling from the valve covers. Did the first change on my friends Twin Turbo Z we just put together not too long ago. Running well, just getting a tuner lined out now.  I am also very close to 60,000 miles. (Protective covers are still on the lens of the gauges making them look all blurry in the pictures)

Cheap and easy intake "box". Just something to keep some of the heat from the radiator fans off the filter. Also started cutting out the scion logo for some fresh air into the filter.

Finally got the badge cut out. Cleaned it up a little after pictures. I also did a bit more work on the filter box.
   I need to clearance around the MAF wires a little more. I also ran into an issue. Noticed some discoloration on the Radiator hoses. Corresponds with my hood vent. I believe the Sun/UV is deterioration the outside of the hose. You can see where it is in the picture, and can see the fibers that came off when I touched it. So plan is to go back to regular hose when I install the new radiator. Starts just about where my finger is.

Meaningless update. Picture of the car from when my friend nailed a giant bolder in the road and destroyed his oil filter. Waiting for the tow and decided to try and get a picture. Looks decent
