small update looking into new head uints for the car. however i dont want a double din unit. would cause to many issues in my location. also got pics havent figured out how to get them off my iphone yet since i have only had it for 3 weeks now. also cleaned up the old mess of the wires in the trunk to make room for my new set up. YES, a sound system in the car might as well use it since no one want to buy it!

the rear bushing feel ****ing great! the lowering springs (cut a coil off) made the ride a bit harsh but used to it. (slammed honda driver, with solid motor mounts for years LOL). the godspeed tow arms and control link worked great(sorry battle version i had to cheat on you! didnt have enough money i hope you can forgive me ). also have to fix my e-brake cables now one broke loose and popped my tire on the way to the inspection! FML rust was the main cause of failure. got new ones in the car just to cold to get under it right now. spring will be here soon. will also have to replace my rear hubs a few bolts are broken.

awesome, im on cut springs at the moment as well. theyre not too bad, a bit bouncy sometimes though. i have a list of suspension components that I want when i "properly" do my suspension when i get the money

what happened in the original pictures when you got the car(rear drivers side)? was it just broken studs or something else?

i have the 2jz-gte motor both of them are autos. one might get torn down, and rebuilt. the other will become the new heart for the car. i been pricing the manual swap stuff, and bills are a little bit to much to look into the swap right now.
