QUOTE(lagos @ Jun 29, 2007 - 8:43 PM) [snapback]573668[/snapback] oh wow. it really came a long way. yep  i bought the car and engine together as a failed project from the guy before me. Everything and more was there for the swap, but the car itself was starting to be parted etc.. it needed a lot of work and parts etc. hahaQUOTE(netrata @ Jun 29, 2007 - 8:46 PM) [snapback]573669[/snapback] Looks awesome Jesse  GOOD JOB!! Now all you need is some TRD extensions and sideskirts to finish the exterior....or.....get yourself a gt-four front bumper and hood to accomodate the rear spoiler Oh, almost forgot, I received the indiglo gauges and got them installed. Looks great, thanks man.glad it all worked out! This post has been edited by jcbass7: Jun 29, 2007 - 7:50 PM |

Ok.. so like I've said before.. I am away at school so no car for a few years.. spring of 2010 to be exact.. but anywho... I'm still going to work on here when i go home for holidays etc and I'm planning on pulling the 3s and rebuilding her as well as tucking the bay during this time. (did i mention we get a no interest 30k auto loan our junior year?) <a nice little chunk of that will go into the celi since i don't need a new auto, i can just make the celi everything i ever wanted it to be!
but for now.. here is my newest toy! enjoy..  only 2 km's on it!!!  its practicaly brand new!!PS: if i a mod gets a chance.. only if they are bored, could they please clean this thread out a bit? thanks! This post has been edited by jcbass7: Sep 28, 2007 - 10:03 AM |

QUOTE(toyocelgt95 @ Sep 29, 2007 - 11:39 PM) [snapback]600175[/snapback] is there a web site that sells those gauge pods? If you are referring to the DCW single, triple and shift boot pods.. then no.. there is no website that sells them. DustinBrown distrubuted them for Romas (manufacturer) and there were only limited amounts sold. Dustin might still have a triple pod or single pod, but i am not sure.. The shift pod wasn't sold in the states.. If you really want one, post in the F/S section looking for DCW gauge pods, someone might be selling one.... |

Be aware that TRD speedo is not perfect - mine is showing 140 km/h when I drive 130 km/h. In general it's showing more less +10% to actual speed.
