thanks man, wish fd parts were just not so damn expensive .___. Selling my old wheels tonight for some extra cash, then its finishing up the fuel set up + vmic and then a tune.
Right now working on splitter 2.0
looking 100% more awesome, but still need side skirts.

thanks guys, haven't had time to work on it but front splitter 2.0 is looking hottttt
not sure what sides I want to go with, might go with FEED replicas but ideally:
rmagic <3 i love the carbon generators (i guess for lack of better word) attatched to the side skirts. I think it would flow well with what I'm going to have going until...maybe one day get the whole kit haha. minus the hood.

I had a plan but the plan didn't really work (due to vinyl wrapping parts being a totally PITA). Anyways its staying for now til I get realllly reallly tired of it.Fuel lines are almost done. I ended up getting some nylon braided line at a really good deal. Anyone have experience using nylon braided vs SS braided for fuel line? Looks super fresh though with my black and red -an fittings and polished rails
pics coming soon

Whelp, pulled a mui_bubbles...
Went to get the car tuned by steve kan today. Turned into a terrible...terrible...terrible day. Primary injectors came unseated and flooded not only the motor...but the whole damn exhaust. Fixed that. Then deflooded the motor. He wasn't sure but said the motor felt like a bearing was spun
went back and pulled it again and he seemed confident to move on. Pulled it again and it pushed 17lbs...with the EBC all the way down on boost with a tiny wastegate spring. Tried a few more times, same story. Wastegate operated just fine so the blame was pointing at the EBC solenoid. 
ended up just routing the wastegate directly because I thought I had a 7lbs spring. Pulled again. 5lbs... No way around it. left my 14lb and 10lb spring at my house...tuned to 5lbs.
Now i have a decent single turbo set up running 5lbs and less HP then stock (by 10whp)
raddddddd
also no offense taken, its a temp thing and its protecting the f#@$ out of the bottom of my car. but, no money left for aero...

there would be a 4inch gap between the bumper and the splitter.
got a little bored waiting for some parts to come in to fix the fuel leak.
Tore off the fenders, rolled the harness up and cut up the liners since they are rubbing like crazy. Dont worry, everything important is still covered
Other good news, troll'd around on the supra forums trying to figure out what was wrong with my EBC. Turns out there is a "hidden" way of resetting the controller to be used with an external wastegate...so it worked the whole time.

As you can see I have a problem (other then worm screw clamps). My rad hose is lower than the rest of the car...by a lot. Anyone have a suggestion of what to do? Just a reminder I'm poor AF so trying to keep it reasonable. Ideally, I should get a vmount rad. Probably going to try and make a skid plate or something of the sort.
