Big thanks to Jim and Joe for their help, couldn't have done it without them.






Short exhaust clip !
Another one


before anyone ask

I have no power figures on the setup yet.

as for issues, so far i've had a bad trans ( replaced ) bad axle seals ( replaced ) and my latest discovery, a bad rear main seal, which I'll replace this coming saturday hopefully.

right nwo the car runs amazingly, still at stock boost, but it feels like a F-16 compare to my super 7a auto setup,

the setup is as follows,

3rd gen 3sgte
MR2 LSD trans
ATS cam gears
Berk tech downpipe
Tein coilovers
TRD short shifter
ACT heavy duty pressure plate with F1 racing Stage 4 sprung disc
Magnaflow high flow cat
Vibrant performance resonator
Skunk2 muffler
3 inch piping all the way back under the rear suspension


still have to install Blitz EBC and HKS FconV and water injection, but I"ll do that after I correct my leak isuue.


Paint used on the engine is VHT flat blackmost parts were cured in an Oven, except for turbo and throttle body.

I did this a few weeks ago, so time to feel you guys in.

after over a year of dri8ving with my ST205 front disc conversion with cheap disc and OEM pads, I felt it was time to upgrade the components, so Bremdo Slotted disc and hawk brake pads along with DOT4 brake fluid.

the difference between cheap and good disc can be felt, braking is much smother now, I don't feel the slight unevenness felt with most slotted disc, now to the pads, hawk pads felt tricky, took some time to get used to, they don't bite as hard as OEM with cold, but once they are up to temperature they are super aggresive, so my whole braking tech is a little different now but I love the new setup.

on the diffuser, is done, but due to weather conditions I'm not installing it back till spring time. I'll make the post more interesting with some pictures sometime.
