Went ahead and decide to scratch the Hiro spoiler idea, and go with the two post spoiler and cf risers. I will be ordering them in two weeks, car should be up, running, and legally on the streets buy this summer before I vacate to Japan. will keep u updated as soon as I can with pics and more.

UPDATE 4/3/12
Well he build is on hold for the time being, I figured since she is at a good stopping point Id go ahead and help SexciCelicaChikk with her project as much as I can. Once we get hers to a good stopping point its back to the Samurai. -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.

Read through the topic, looking good. I always thought if I had a rhd car I'd go through the drive-through in reverse.
 Look forward to the 3S-GTE.

Cars look nice both of you. First time you guys have driven them together?

Need a bit of a spacer or something .Havent driven them together yet. And The reason behind the sucked look is a doughut. Had to swap the rims with my black car when I moved to Corpus Christi because the black had a blow out before I left. This is going to be my next purchase probably next week.

*Update 5-16-2012*
After running the car for about an hour and driving it 2 laps around the parking lot, I noticed white smoke with blueish tint pouring out my exhaust. Not just a little bit either, alot. About the same amount you see in the winter time when its cold out. Before I had shipped the car Stetsonaw(older member) told me the same thing when we crused Okinawa. I belive my head gasket might be blown due to the ebay headers and the fact that the head gasket has been changed out at all since Ive had the car in 07' or probably anytime before that, so it might have probably been time for a new one anyway. -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.

Blue smoke is oil burning in the cylinder. So piston rings are fried or valve guide seals. Or both. Yours sounds like piston rings to me unfortunately.
 Blown head gasket would more than likely be white smoke as water and coolant is entering the cylinder. I guess it could be both though. Either way, good thing you are doing a 3sgte soon. You should compression check it to see what cylinder(s) it is. Then you'll know for sure. Edit: I dont undrstand why the head gasket would blow due to ebay headers?
