Alrighty well I worked a couple 12s this week to shave off some of the anxiety from spending as much money as I have on this Toyota. Ended up buying some new coilovers too. Figured it was time since I’d been riding on RC N3 struts for the last few years. Felt like I was riding in a 5 ton unloaded army truck.

on a different note here’s a quick snap of the frame I got after I got it loaded up. The picture is a screenshot of a video clip I took of it when picked it up. I’ll get some better pictures soon. I’m super pumped and relieved it’s finally finished. Now I gotta put the sob back together..

Also, spoke to ECGS and they recommended a new flange but they’re out of them for 6-8 weeks they gave me a part number though so I might be able to find one elsewhere on the internet.
