Wow i love the new engine bay look. Very Stealth and thats an awesome price to have all that done for only $100.. Wish i had a local place that cheap haha.

 

Thanks man its coming together....Stay tuned for cermaic coated turbo mani, turbo, and downpipe...

 

Not much to update....

Slowly have been doing minor things on the car....completed installed all powdercoated pieces....

Still have yet to install new crank position sensor.....lol...it has been sitting on my work bench for a few months....

In progress of removing rear diff....and about to schedule a day to drive to Accelerated Performance so Dan can install the TRD LSD into gs400 pumpkin for me....

Tax return should help to finish rest of build...i.e fuel system...

 

Stripped down hotside to get ready for ceramic coating...





Many members have asked me how I bypassed heater valve...this should give you idea of how I did it...Although I am going to redo the lines in back with some leftover -10an braided to give it a cleaner look



Parts Pile:

 

Received OCD Works billet turbo drain extender....Very high quality piece...



I ended up spending the day yesterday driving to Accelerated Performance to get TRD LSD installed....Sorry guys didnt snap any pics while I was there.....but Don does great work..

Should be picking up parts from ceramic coating later this week.

 

Some pics of TRD LSD installed.....

 

Hey.great build man.do you mind telling me which centercaps you used on the xxr's.you PMed me the link a while back.I must of deleted it by accident. Thanks

 

Damn that LSD looks so.... Virgin! And that billet drain extender looks really nice too. Should do its job no problem.

 

Thanks man.....I cant wait to drive car with LSD now......I was lucky to get the TRD LSD....they are impossible to find new anymore...

 

Painted diff with Chassis Saver by Magnet Paint......it is same as POR-15

You dont really need that much....a it is pretty pricey at $40 a quart....I should have quite a bit leftover and prob do rear subframe with it before install diff

This should help to keep it looking new.....and keep it from getting surface rust again

Havent decided yet what to do with diff cover....it may get the gold treatment.....

 

Decided to give the garage a little bit more organization....

Picked up this Craftsman tool chest today....

Fits perfectly underneath work bench....Bench is 38" and Chest is 34"

All loaded up....crazy to see it all together...

 

Looks good bud,cool new toys you just got. Let's chat sometime.

 

Thanks man....I have actually had all those tools already....just put them all in the chest...

Shoot me a text sometime..

 

Love that HF Earthquake!!

 

Its does the job was a little weary about HF air tools at first.....but they stand up
