My 00 TRD GT-S 6-Speed Progress, *updated pics 7/11/08* Options

I have my sideskirts on the way and my front lip and rear lip sitting next to me...hopefully in a week it will be painted.

As far as the 94 goes it's sitting on 18's now but still need the airbags and windshield installed. I'll take pics when I actually go visit my mom...it's sitting in her garage.

actually, the first series lift bolts( in the 00) had a recall on them, so i would change them out soon, next lift bolts maintaince is required every 15-30k, u can hit lift after the second bar on the temp gauge, but wait till its fully warmed up, all in all its a fun little car, good gas milage, and relaiblity, just don't miss shift, the 00 had very tight shift gates, 03+ are probally the best since they bumped the rev limiter up to 8200 again, but urs can go to 8400, thats what makes the 00 the fastest year, hows ur landing lift skills?

Couple of questions: (bold area in quote denotes area of question)

1) i know yamaha made the motor for the gts, and i know the 3sgte needs a tune up every 30k miles, but replacing the lift bolts every 30k seems like a big ordeal. (grant it i dont own one im just curious about it, where are the lift bolts? etc?)
2) what happens if u hit lift (which im assuming means the VVTI kicks in b4 its fully warm? (i presume some kind of damage or un needed wear, im looking for more specifics)
3) What does the term "landing lift" mean? (u used it above)

edit: sorry to jack your thread
