Im rather suprized I havent had any major set backs yet (knock on wood!). Ive taken my time and set a daily goal up for myself and tried to stick with it. Even when I got ahead I cleaned up and planned the next day out. This way Ive been 80% ahead of myself on ordering small things like nuts and bolts that I missed or didnt have from used parts. Would be 100% but some how the tech's at my local toyota cant order the correct part even if I give them the part #'s.

So I stole my oil filter relocater location from Itchy, well kinda, mine runs the other direction then his but mounted in about the same spot. The filter sits about 1/2 inch from the PS fluid but I can just slip that off each time I need to change the oil filter. Also its aimed slightly down so oil will drain out of the filter first and there should be little to no mess. ALso got my injectors in from Witch hunter and they did a great job, 2 of the injectors were only flowing 424/426 cc's with a good/fair rating the other 2 were in decent condition. After the cleaning all 4 injectors hit 458-460 cc'c and hold a Good rating across the board. All for a mear $68. Great deal imo if you can find a set of injectors for a steal. I installed the injectors tonight and I was suprized it only took about 30 minutes to swap them. The first time I did them I actually took off the wireing harness and intake manifold but figured I didnt really have to. Tonight I just poped off the 30mm valve cover nuts and tapped the head off with a soft mallet. While I had it off I gave the vc a nice paint job also.

In reality Im done and could start the car, all the basics are on now and everything should be fine at idle. I still dont have gauges (prosport's are in route), Wideband (Ordering a UEGO tomorrow) and SOMETHING to tune with. I feel like I could get away with a AFC NEO but Im leaning to a Emanage just because of the room to grow with it. Oh and I have the WI kit here and Ill start looking at mounting/installing that tomorrow to keep me busy.

P.S. Its been so long since Ive used my Digi cam that there actually isnt a cord that I can buy to connect to the computer, Ill have to grab my rents spare one for pictures.
