In the end, we're all just chalk lines on the concrete.. drawn only to be washed away.

track slut putta the black car, cause if you build a monster motor for the white car you'd still never drive it for fear of getting it dirty lol
All show, coming soon ---> GO
I got awoken by the door bell today... And here is what i got.
Guess whats in the box?
Wilwood Rotors.!!
Magnaflow High Flow 2 1/2 Cat
have to put one back on cause i need to pass emissions
Safety Wire For the brake job
Hawk HPS Pads for the rear baer brakes
WIlwood Shim pads
Me with the cat LOL
Just waiting on the ball joints and pads for the front wilwood brakes and the baer rotors.
I should have all the parts within the next 5 days
Update... After looking at the wilwood rotors there was a production change between 06 and 08. The slots are differnt depths and the drilled spots are differnt sizes.. Long story short. The left rotor is the 06 version and the right rotor is the 08 version. I called jegs today and they are going to get me matching rotors sent out on monday!!!
I will post more pictures as i get them!
Keep it going

This'll be my first winter with a heated shop (at work) to do stuff in so:
**For sure**
-Re-do kickpods
-Get Toyota fenders painted and on
-Find side marker lights for said fenders (anyone? anyone?)
-Paint and mount Toyota mirrors. (4 door on a 2 door, bitch to do but possible)
-Finish motorized trunk
**Maybe**
-Exhaust. I'm not even sure. This is the first year I have MONEY for this jazz.
-Paint. Just factory bright red, but I've got tons of rock chips and door dings from before I owned the car.
I just got finished paying for an accident so a bunch of this will be happening in the weeks to come I hope!
Finish motorized trunk
I want to see a video of that !!!! Keep it up everyone and show progress!!

My car is 2775 with pretty much a full interior and a 6 point cage. I know I can easily get it down under 2650 with a few careful changes.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.
