Going the 1JZ route
Not really. I've been busy with school, and I don't have a garage or hardly any tools at my house here, but I'll be putting on the TT swaybars this summer, as well as maybe getting my cluster needles fixed.
I've also got to figure out what's wrong with my power steering. I add fluid, but the reservoirs dry in a couple days. I thought I had a leak but I don't see any fluid under my car......weird.

sup man? hows the car runnin? great build thread. i do have a question though. how has your car felt since the y pipe install? ive heard all the debates on it as fars as them being turbo killers and just wondered what your op was.
Sorry for the delays in my responses. I've been busy with school this last quarter, but summer has finally graced me with a job where I have tons of free time to internet.
The radiator pipe I got from ebay a couple years ago. I forget the seller's name, but I'm sure you can still find some around.
As for the y-pipe, I've been running it for two years with no issues (knock on wood). I haven't noticed a huge difference in power, but I think the turbos spool just a tad quicker than before. My engine does have around 160k on it, so I'm just dreading the day that the turbos decide to kick it.
As for other updates, I'll be putting on swaybars soon, and hopefully doing a couple other things here and there. Stay tuned!

Rear main seal is leaking bad. 
and I've got like 70-80k on the centerforce clutch. Can't decide if I want to find another disk, or go with a heavier clutch. Also considering getting a rad DD sometime in the next year, so a heavier clutch might not be too much of a pain. Any suggestions for a clutch that can hold around 350-375 ft. lbs and isn't too hard to drive?
