Your new car looks great! That’s one of the best colors for an SC!

I’m not sure what the official name of the grey interior is. It’s pretty rare though.

Not as red as it shows in pic over purple
My turbo housing came in with a welded elbow, I had to repaint it any way, so went with paint that I had in my cabinet

Hollowed out the upper cats, inserted straight pipe through them and welded them into the housings at work. Then headed to the exhaust shop to have 2.25in piping fit in from the upper cats into an x pipe and out to my Raizer mufflers sounds sexy! No cabin drone and not raspy at all. Pure v8 yota deepness ♡

That exhaust looks awesome! The quad tips are a nice look. Do you have a video of how it sounds?

I'll try to get a sound clip this weekend not really sure how but I'll look into it! Here are some pics of how it looks on the ground. Don't mind the ghetto rear bumper. In the process of painting a replacement and hopefully shave the emblems soon.

Old water pump was leaking. Previous owner broke the lip on thermostat housing and tried using sealer. Tired of the drip and time to fix all that shat. Got a new water neck to replace it. Got new timing belt, water pump, pulleys, tensioner, spark plugs, coils, caps and wires to install today. Gonna delete the power steering vacuum assist while in there and clean everything up.

Getting down to business.

Cleaned everything as much as possible. Got it all looking pretty decent. No more leaks, dirt and oil. Also deleted that vacuum assist for the power steering. No more leaking on alternator. Also allowed a couple lines to be deleted in the process

Pretty much back together besides the covers. Installed new distributor caps, coils, plugs and wires while in there.

Successful Sunday spent

Not quite sure how to upload video. Here's a video of my car idling after finishing up the timing belt job. It's pretty late though so I'll get a recording of some revs tomorrow

Okay took a drive to get some coffee this morning. Made a little video of some in car sound of the exhaust. Should have rolled up the window lol. Next time though 3.4 bfi, cat deletes, 2.25 piping all the way through x pipe and into raizer quad mufflers.
