lol ron is speaking the truth tho, everybody i kno has there exhaust done at shea stadium the trick is this, Its only one exhaust muffler shop that has 3" piping located on the first corner off willis pt, where the rds are good. As soon as you start digger deeper into the junkyards for that 20 dollars extra off then yea ull be missing ur whole bumper, intercooler, bend rims etc etc.

duplicolor vinyl and carpet paint. semi gloss.

My boy used the rustoleon flat black vinyl paint and i saw his today and it came out nicer in my opinion than the semigloss so eventually everything will be redone with the flat black vinyl paint

i think 19's are perfect and the largest i would go, All of my boys have them on their lexus sc's and i have some friends throw them on thier mkiii's so im like if they could do it i can do it too lol. Cant wait too see how it looks dropped tho, I kno with the 19x9.5 in the back with the 275/30 tires its gonna rub from the offset, so i definitly will have to at least roll the rear fender the fronts look ok so far.

HAHA hellz no.... speak for yourself buddy :) I go to JMR Garage in Bay Shore.

I'm in Queens and thinking about having a shop do my hg this time around since I fed up. The trick is finding a shop in our area(s) that work on the 7m. Would JMR be a good place to go?

Time to post some progress. I got a set of used eibach springs, just finish installing the back and notice that one of the rear struts is not the oem tems and is a autozone special Gabriel shocks. Sucks ass. The other three shocks are all tems but its time to save and start putting money aside for a set of Bilstiens. I can tell just from looking at the rear even though the springs havn't settled in yet, there gonna rub and I need to roll the fenders ASAP.

Will post pics when im finish with the fronts

Lol thats true but i like it when your able to go sideways in 2nd and if u want too in 3rd, Thats true gross display of horsepower lol

Bro, I understand. Back in the day, I had a 5.0 to which I added 3.73's. Tearing rubber in second gear is defintely fun.

Turbo is Officially blown today, It had some shaft play and in and out play while i had everything apart during the hg fix. It wasnt smokin at first on stock boost but when i installed my dr. Jones mbc and turn it up to 10 it started smoking bad, real bad. Smokes at idle, and on deceleration. Smokes really really bad. I wil be installing an oil catch can to see if it helps but until i have funds to get a rebuilt 57trim on, i will just be checking my oil regulary.

next upgrades I'm saving for are intercooler hardpipes, wheel alignment, and redo my brake system and finally bilstein shocks all around.

In the meantime still transforming the interior black piece by piece and redoing the stock toyota linterior and exterior lighting, all leds bulbs all around.

time for an update, and some pics, Good and Bad news,
Got my 2.5" intercooler hardpipes installed with all the couplers and t bolt clamps, car feels great. faster spool up and holds boost nice and steady.

Ordered a new cps cover and marlin crawler shifter bushings from driftmotion.


Bad news, found out that i have a cracked subframe right where the diff bolts up. Looking to get it welded this week.
Turbo is blown dumping alot of oil, But i have a stock replacement from a friend that will be going on soon.
