Very nice work Rodel. You've essentially taken what most of the community would agree is the best of the best looking mkiiis out there and you've taken her a few notches up. Much respect!

Very Nice!

I appreciate the props! I still have not gotten used to the compliments that Ntorios receives. There is still a lot opportunity for improvement.

Very Nice!

Thanks!

Getting deja vu looking at all these pics.
Are the red bushes in the rear hubs from Ronnie K? If I recall correctly when I enquired he said he didn't make those ones.
Looking forward to seeing more progress

Yes, they are Ronnie K bushings. You may want to contact him again.

And what happend to the HKS Dual Evolution ?

That was on loan to me. The owner didn't want to sell it and I returned it. So plan b is to customize an Apexi Dual N1 onto the MK3

One day, I'd like to meet you and see this thing in person. I thought my MKIII was pretty clean until I saw this build!

Whereabouts in SoCal are you? I'm just south of Irvine.

There are many clean mk3s around.

Always glad to meet mk3 brothers. I'm in Anaheim. I frequent South Irvine.

If I make it out to Cali this summer I want to see both of you guys' Toyotas. I'd be in the 4Runner though, no Supra travels that far are in the plans.

Just make it to SIV
