the cap is just an ebay buy it was like $7 bucks lol the trd thing isnt on the cap you have to do something to have it stick, I just used some gorilla glue after tightening the cap so its straight when looking at it in the engine bay (always see peoples that are upside down, sideways or whatever)

and no its not a key fob its just one of those keychains that come on the supra brand shoes

never posed this but I picked up these targa bars from the bic group buy (flex is not eliminated but I feel they help some)

Nice, how did you find it at night? much better than stock?
Thanks and I haven't even used them yet lol i'll check back when I do but I have heard good things from a few others using them

It was nice out so I threw them in and let the battery get a good charge

I have a seized caliper so its still in the garage and with a little more snow coming, I have a 4runner to drive all winter

Also my battery started to crap out on me, was getting real slow cranks every time I went to drive the car only 4 years old but it probably doesn't help that it was stone dead a hand full of times this past winter

So I picked up one of these wanted to go with an agm type or battery (got it for even less than the site displayed because someone had an old price up in the store so they honored that price plus I have one of their point cards :D)

How is the ride after the poly bushings? I hear it really makes the car feel brand new in the corners.

Great build man! The 7M always had this unique tone to it. I kind of miss it.

Tuned in!

Yeah big difference it was night and day when I went to the coilovers, st swaybars and new endlinks and then the poly bushing made it feel alot different too

Just be prepared for seized bolt and stuff lol

But im very happy with the ride

Thanks they are pretty much the same size and the tt wheels but with better offsets so the fitment looks 100 times better and lol I don't know I may still hold on to them for extra wheels but then again I still have the saw blades taking up space too
Its a shame they are so rashed up from whoever had them before us especially the front one with the rash on the spokes

You can still get them from toyota thats where I got mine

Never posted my new wheels here (actually I did and noticed after this post oh well)

Went ahead and scoop up another set of xxr's just a different style this time and I really like them even though I said I wasn't going to go with a mesh style spoke again but im very happy with them

Nice! What is the size and offset?
Looks good on the car and still has a decent sidewall, which I like.

Thanks! Yea I liked these for a few reason
1. they are just about the same size as the tt wheels just better offsets
2. I could reuse the in very good shape tires that were on my tt wheels
3 still 17's so I like the amount of sidewall and knew I wouldn't have any rubbing

Size: 17x8 with a +25 offset in the front and 17x9 with a +35 in the rear (imo fit perfect for me with zero roll and poke more with the better offset compared to the tt wheels) they also offer the rears in a +25 offset probably could have pulled that off but im not 100% sure with my rear tires

The next size in the rear offered is 10" +20 offset unless you do 18 inch wheels
