    Custom trunk trim?

    Ive searched alot and couldnt seem to find any pics of custom trunk panels. I gutted my trunk to replace the suspension and now im thinking about leaving out the nasty 20 year old plastics. I wanted to try making some very basic metal panels to protect the tail lights and cover the holes up...

    my suspension upgrade

    So, after getting it done and putting 50 miles on it last night i thought id share me opinions on it sofar. I put on tokico blues with eibach springs and new toyota bump stops. Coming from stock setup thats most likely 20 years old, my rear struts were both blown. The fronts were really bad...

    Car being serviced today, damn Toyota!

    Same thing with me, when i first took my starter out it took hours. Then someone introduced me to ratcheting wrenchs. Took a few minutes once i had the right tool. Not sure what your 10 minute method is?

    Idea on hood design

    Are the carbon fiber hoods that strong to begin with? I know that CF is strong, but i thought once you lost the stock hood you lost alot of that strength with it?

    '20 sec search'

    Since I dont use windows its not a problem, my Apple key works fine. I also use tabs all the time. However, I do hate the search term options on forums. Why cant everyone adopt the google system. I find using -/+ "" easier and more effective over AND, OR.

    New brakes, pads dragging.

    this may sound stupid because i dont know any better, but what do you mean by 'dragging'? i thought all pads stay in contact with the rotors at all times? the pads should be pressing against the rotors lightly right? or am i just missing something lol
