I replace my front calipers and pads, put up to the engine bay air evacuation line (for front and rear axles) and replace front seats by Recaro Sport Sportline seats.

Did you gain much headroom or legroom with them?
Got a couple of rear mud flaps from a mud member.

Those Recaros seem really tall. Or is an illusion?
awesome. Thank you!!
Took out front coils, added .5" of bump stop, took off my OME L shocks & installed my long 28.5" Doetsch Tech shocks to get ready for the 75mm Slinkies. I also put my front flares back on & did some trimming to clear 37"s while on the bumps.
Looks much better with thre flares.
Also found this. Somebody upstairs is looking out for me... see the lower control arm bolt about ready to fall out.

Finally got around to installing my fridge/freezer. Used the beautiful Wits' End wiring kit for the Edgestar. Took all of 90 minutes (including grilling and eating). Very straight forward.
Now on to the dual battery system. Pick up my batteries this week...

Lessons from today: weekend warriors like myself need to follow that FSM closely. For example, I made two mistakes today that caused me to do things twice: first I installed the upper pan before I referred to the FSM and saw that it has to follow the timing chain/front cover. Then I was rushing and forgot the install the rectangular oil galley o-ring when I put the upper pan down on the front cover the second time, so I pulled all those fasteners back out and lifted it enough to place that o-ring in. And that's without any beers!
Next time drink some beer before you start a rebuilt.
I think that's how I got in this deep as a matter of fact! Courage in a bottle.

Put some 30k weight oil in my cheap eBay fan clutch, replaced the fuel filter top / primer pump with a new genuine unit. Took it for a spin and with last weekends new injectors it's now stupid fast for a 1hz. No more air leaks and no more overheating under load! Now I've got my issues sorted I can bolt up my supra turbo and a new 3" stainless exhaust!
And a gratuitous action shot from driving to work.

Gone are the days of the Bilsteins and factory springs with 145k miles. In are the days of Icon's full 80 series suspension kit. I have yet to drive it, thanks to the breaking of a bolt in the rear bottom shock mount. 
It just needs to be re-tapped to a larger size. All in all I am very impressed with everything, especially the directions they provide, they are definitely a highly valuable asset. Alright, its time for some pictures!!
I will put a full story up in my thread (link in my signature). Cheers!

That's just not fair!!
(The fact you got the Icon suspension...and... you haven't been able to drive it yet!)
It is figuratively killing me... I cannot wait to experience the Icon life! I also need to think about which sticker I want to use and where to put it... Difficult decisions.That's just not fair!!
