I used autometer pods.



No update on the new look yet, but today I received another component of the project. Less than 2 months until Toyota Fest left.

A sneak peak of the front end makeover. The license plate area will be modified.

Nothing custom. Just an S2 air guide and S2 lip. The front end will look like this:

Fresh vvti head. I'll take more pictures when it is sitting on the block.

More progress on the S2 Airguide. The airguide was massaged so that it fits perfectly prior to molding it into the bumper.

With the additional power that the car will make, I needed wheels and tires that will plant the car to the ground. I picked up Enkei NT03+M wheels in 18x10.5 +30. 285 35 will be at the rear. 255 35 will be up front.


I really like these wheels because they are light weight and have a lot of details like the dual valve stems, "perimeter brace ring" and a little bit of concavity on the spokes.


(I read that dual valve stems help in exchanging regular air for nitrogen. One stem is used to let out the regular air while nitrogen is put in the other stem. Not sure if I would actually every do this. The dual valve stems are a cool conversation piece though. LOL.)

For the interim, I will roll silver, but I will have them powder coated blue.

The harness was a new 7M harness that has been modified. There are only about 65 wires remaining. There will be no zip tie action involved in the finished product.


Twin HKS 60MM would be nice.
