    That is a good lookin' rig, tacocolin!

    Finally got a high pressure gauge to check the pressure in my coilovers:

    Driver's side: 139lbs
    Passenger's side: 119lbs

    Both are low so need to get them bumped up to ~150lbs which is the recommendation for Kings from what I can gather. Just need to get a N2 cylinder and high pressure hose soon (already have gauge and regulator) and will be able to do it myself and provide any of the local guys a recharge if needed :D

    I plan to learn how to rebuild/revalve these coilovers as well so I can do it as needed/desired.

    IMG_0841_zpsb0fca667_75ef5071541eb62801881c25c2188fd9de171236.jpg

    Flywheel should be here in the middle of the coming week. Skipping on the u-joints for now. Waiting until after I've inspected them during the flywheel job.

    Hey SGT Taco, most likely going to do the flywheel on Sunday if I do it at all so you don't have to worry about the transmission jack on Saturday.

    Doesn't look like wheel bearing assemblies will be here in time. If there is time, maybe SGTDisco can help wire up my URD ECU module really quickly (will need electrical/wiring supplies if possible). I will post up a copy of the instructions so you will have an idea of what is needed.

    Anybody recommend a reasonable place I could get a supercharger installed? I got quoted almost $1300 at Larry H. Miller Toyota for installation alone, but I was hoping to find a better deal than that, and I don't think I am capable of doing it myself. As for parts, I know I can get it for $3900 on trdparts4u, and I doubt I'll be able to beat that anywhere else.
    Just looking into it hoping I'll be able to get it done in the future if the price is right. I appreciate any advice!

    And if you have good/bad experiences with your TRD Supercharger feel free to share with me (and convince me it's the right thing to do of course)
