Im rather suprized I havent had any major set backs yet (knock on wood!). Ive taken my time and set a daily goal up for myself and tried to stick with it. Even when I got ahead I cleaned up and planned the next day out. This way Ive been 80% ahead of myself on ordering small things like nuts and bolts that I missed or didnt have from used parts. Would be 100% but some how the tech's at my local toyota cant order the correct part even if I give them the part #'s.

I was really considering Defi gauges but Im not sure if I could stomach spending $200 a gauge. From past reads about autometer gauges Ive seen people say their not the greatest quality and sometimes read incorrectly.

Im almost done so its a bit late for pictures now. Ill try and take a few tomorrow (I havent used my digi camera in ages hopefully it works). A nice rain slowed me down a good deal today. I managed to get the exhaust finished and the stock O2 in place (third time was a charm getting the correct nuts from toyota). Tomorrow Ill have to extend the O2 wire so that I can plug it in, get my alt back in place and the new belt on so that I can be 100% sure when I run my oil relocater, the lines are out of the way. Id have finished that up but some how toyota cant figure out what bolt I need. Ill be visiting them for the 5th time this week (Been there tuesday-today already) and hopefully they will have the correct one. I love spending 3$ in gas to get a 97 cent bolt thats not the right one.
