Hey everyone, wanted to share some photos of the Dragon... the results of some serious time and effort on my part over the last few weeks. I put in my new wideband, new front clear turn signals, polished a fer parts myself and reinstalled a bunch of parts I had ceramic coated by JDub, new silicone hose from hightempsilicone, new shifter seat and pivot bushing, new ebrake boot, new bump stops for hatch, new shifter boot,fixed a couple of paint chips, and a bunch of other little things.

Stuff I had coated included: valve covers, coil pack brakcet, turbo elbow, isc/pcv pipes, 02 canister bracket, power steering reservior and bracket, and the brake line heat shield, to compliment my already coated hardpipes and heat shield. I had a shop weld in the WB bung to where it fits up in the trany tunnel about 36 inches away from the turbo. All in all I'm very happy with everything, and even more happy she started right up once I was done.

lemme know what ya think.

Sweet, that's pretty much what I hope my 92 (red/shadow gray cloth/sunroof) looks like when I get done with it, only wingless. I'll have to keep some pics of the dragon around for inspiration.

You have done an amazing job with the engine bay! Is that a Reg Reimer adjustable fuel pressure regulator I see? My engine bay looks busy with all the stuff I added--I have one of Reg's AFPRs sitting at home that I am now tempted to install. I've heard they had issues though. (???)

Heh, it is indeed (stock toyota modified to be adjustable), and the car has Reg's upgraded fuel maps, so I dont have to run any piggyback fuel control for 1.1bar, which is nice... Although she runs too rich under full boost, so I'm going to have to go with some piggyback or perhaps the maftpro sometime. I don't have any issues with the FPR, seems to do what it needs to do.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I've put a lot of time into the car, and my wife is getting pissed. :1zhelp:

As for seeing the gauges, yes I have to take eyes off road, and no this isn't ideal. But being able to close the glovebox and have the car appear completely stock (EVC is behind an ash tray front piece, easily pulled off) save for a turbo timer and the montigny Vf (which is just 5 leds) it what its all about to me. I don't really like the look of a pillar gauge pods.

I really want to get a really nice set of wheels on the car (has ones from previous owner, not really my style, but I'm holding out for something really nice to come along) and then I'll feel 95% "done." with the last 5% being getting the car professionally tuned with something like MAFTpro.
