Nice list of parts your installing, interested to see how the wheels (color), red calipers, and antique bronze mica come together.

 

Made some progress this afternoon...

Installed the night pager RCAs, new moog swaybar endlinks, rotors & calipers. I still need to install the SS lines and bleed the brakes. I also need to tackle the rear end stuff. Hoping to be done by this weekend... Here's a bit of a preview...

 

looking good...

 

 

Finally got to take her for a spin. Got the brakes bled yesterday, but the pedal is still soft. I have an alignment scheduled tomorrow at the dealership. I'm going to have the bleed the brakes again to see if they can get the pedal firmed up.

I had to install new rear swaybar endlinks because I couldn't get the original ones off the the factory swaybar. The locking nut was seized up... Also, when I went to remove the rear swaybar the bolts that mount it to the chassis had rusted out and snappd off. So the threads were left in the chassis. I tried to drill the out, but didn't have much luck. I don't really know what to do, but for now the rear swaybar is just attached at the ndlinks. I'm going to see if the dealer has any ideas when I drop it off tomorrow.

I still need to install the blackwood interior pieces. I got a new upper windshield weatherstripping piece that I need to instal. I need to give the car a nice detail (cut/polish/wax). I got lucky and Sewell had the lower door moldings in stock in ABM so I ordered those and installed them already.

I've decided that I'm going to do 3 more things to the car then call it quits...

Top speed exhaust
Fill holes and paint decklid
Double din head unit

 

car is coming along great. you been busy lol. how do the TRD sways handle? this is turning out great in such a short time

 

lol, i've been telling myself the same thing for years.

car is looking good though, keep it up

 

Got the car aligned and also had the dealer bleed the brakes again. They are much firmer now and definitely have some bite to them... I think one of the caliper pistons is sticking tho, b/c I feel like there is a bit of a drag coming from up front.

The car really handles like it's on rails now. For what it's worth the car has the following suspension mods...

Tanabe DF210 springs
KYB GR2 shocks/struts
TRD front STB
Tom's rear STB
TRD sways front & rear
Sport Design steering ECU
Daizen steering rack bushings
18mm front RCAs

100+ mph on the highway feels dead solid. Haven't bottomed out yet either and no rubbing, thus far. I'm thrilled with how the car is coming along.

 

great list of mods and really impressed with the fast progress. my next mod are the TRD sways. can't wait

 

car looks clean, nice progress.

 

nice build bro.
I'm running the same wheels as you right now with the same color car.

 

op, I think you need todrop the back end about 1-2 inches to even out the front, and good luck with stopping after 3 more things...I am constantly finding more stuf to buy...its an addiction





tm you will LOVE the sways, hands down the most noticeable suspension mod...even more than coils imo

 

Looks fantastic. I'm definitely diggin' those brakes!

 

Car is currently for sale.
