made some plate brackets out of some angle aluminum i had sitting around. bumper does not have holes for plate bracket and i didnt want to drill any. Used the factory push-clip holes for the bumper to mount these

Nice work. If the day comes where I ever have to pull my engine. I'm definitely pressure washing everything to clean off all the dirt and grime that has built up over the years.

I have a similar gash on the front of my seat like you do. I'm interested to see how well the repair goes on that, keep us posted!

3-Spoke installed:



Also, got another fuel pump ECU, and it was also busted. Going to give up on these and just run the bypass. I'm not crazy about it, but I've spent enough time and money on it, so time to move on.

I had same issue with mine 2 yes yes since I did bypass and it's not going to harm anything but just use right size guage wire so it can hold load. I cut the power and supply wire to pump and put together with a 30 amp fuse relocate so you don't have to pull out panel if it ever goes bad run it to trunk where you can get easy. I also upgraded my pump from 170Lph to one 320Lph . This way pump is ready for whatever you decide to do later with engine upgrades for power engine won't starve for fuel.

Nice work also if you ever want to look better can do the RX300 steering wheel just swap over plug ends from air bag and change cruise control and it's plug and play and u get the wood grain steering wheel compliments interior better. My opining but still a great upgrade.

I thought about going with the RX wheel, but the wood color would never match and that would bug me.

My covercraft sunshade finally arrived (takes a couple of weeks because they're made to order). My old roll up style Heatshield started sagging in the middle, so I decided to go with the covercraft to match my other cars.
