Sad day for me, finally cut the cord and agreed to sell it to a friend. I haven't driven it in over a year, so it was time. Not my favorite car I have ever owned, but definitely the best! I'll post updates as I finish the build for him, I finally got around to doing new steering rack, tie...

I bought it from Detroit Axle. If you send in the core you get a lifetime warranty. I've heard even OEM rebuilt racks can fail after a year, so I figured this was a good way to go. It was around $300

Yes, compression tested good across the board

Had some time tonight and got the snorkel on. The more and more I do to the car makes me want a larger tire again. Still chipping away and making this thing cool. Sorry the car is filthy, it snows here during the winter... Added finally finishing my front bumper to the list. I had just...

From what I understand all of the vvti cars are interference motors. The 06 would have been one of those...

More parts coming in. The AHC globes need replacing, but instead of ripping it out like most do, I've decided to adapt it to offroad as well as the aftermarket, and continue to get the buttery smooth, solid ride that keeps me from upgrading to a newer model. 2" ahc extenders from Japan...

Here is my 10.1 inch android based stereo in mine:

I had the lseat.com front seats installed, they look pretty darn good! I paid a local installer $500 for the install, so for $830 I'm happy. I also like the feel of the leather over the factory material. These seem more like a bmw leather, less slick than the Toyota material.

Today I put in new front sway bar bushings and links. Ended up taking me longer than I thought it would because of a bolt that broke from being old and frail. Welded a nut on, it snapped again. Did that a second time broke again and it ended up needing to be drilled out. I used OEM inner...

Today I did rotors at all 4 corners, new rear calipers, bled the system, and ebc green stuff pads. Hopefully these pads improve the brakes a bit, I've never loved the brakes on this car. It also was a good time to inventory what the front end needs to make it perfect. Added sway bar...

That's the difference between you and I. It's plastic, and the weight is next to nothing. It's the same way in the 2001+ cars from the factory, just a plastic emblem glued to the airbag cover.

I have yet to install the Lseat.com covers, but based on how they look in the box I'm extremely impressed with the quality for the money. They look like they are very well built. If you are super curious, I can try and coordinate for you to come take a look. Who had you talked to for a $200...
