To Hypertek - Yeah i know, and i will forever kick my *** about that, but on a better note, another 2nd gen is ressurected rather than in the scrap bin.

To Aznpoopy - Well i wish i had a camera, but mine got stolen and i was without one for a year up until this past christmas. So i was able to take some photos now.

To Bama420 - I ****** WISH! **smacks forhead**

Hey, what is that silver thing that appears to be something for brakes or another hydraulic mechanism right behind your blow off valve? I have never noticed that part in another RX. Forgive me if that's a dumb question, I'll probably do some forehead smacking myself once I am told, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that is. I see a home-made brace bolted to the bottom of it and it's right under the windshield wiper motor.
