Telepopmusik - Breathe

And thanks :]

Any feedback on the cold cathodes? My friend who is completely anti-rice hates them, but I don't think they look ricey at all. I like them a lot :]

I had some problems with installing them, though haha. I got them all wired up, cut a hole in the inside of the dash for the switch, then I glued the switch on... And the switch got glued to the "Off" position >.< so I had to go get another switch and do it all over again. But I think it looks great for a grand total of $13.50 :]

The lights aren't my taste, but they're nicely done. Better than underbody neon for sure.

You into trance BTW?

Trance = Fail

Breaks = Win

DnB = Tha Best.

I've done the same on my GT4 and my partners SS-III, nobody seems to like it but us.. We used LED strips

[johnnehh]

When are you going there? I was there for the last two days for a vw show.

New clutch today... Ran me about $750 for labor and everything.

Feels SO much better. My old clutch failed every test they had.

This is becoming habit-forming!!

[johnnehh]

Put on the header today, with difficulties. That last bolt just didn't want to come off...



^Joe in the white and Jerry on the ground



^Jerry just loveees working on Toyotas :]



^That's meee!



^Almost done, few more bolts (Miguel in the pic)



^After the drive home, GOLDEN!



I can DEFINITELY feel the difference in acceleration. This was the biggest horsepower gain for the least amount of money that I can think of.

Woo!

After driving to school and whatnot...

Dont' forget to wrap that header. How's it treating you though? I've always kinda been tempted to get one, but never wanted to cough up the cash.

I can DEFINITELY feel the difference when I put my foot down. Worth the money. When I was pulling out from a stoplight today, I gave it about 3/4 throttle (I drive aggressive... ) and it seemed like I flooring it before. Like 3/4 now is full throttle before... Idk, hard to explain haha, but you can feel the difference.

How's it sound? I've been told it's like the intake, how you don't really hear it unless you are in the throttle.

Honestly I didn't hear much of a sound difference at all. I have the stock exhaust, that may be why. The only sound difference I hear is that it sounds like the intake is taking in more air.. Like before I could make my car sound completely stock by just easing on the throttle, but now you can hear the intake even when just barely pressing the gas.

Maybe my imagination though, I dunno.

[delusionz]

awesome! must be quite an improvement, those stock headers are really ****

Was the gasket any good? I heard ebay gaskets are ****ty and leak. And would be better off getting a toyota gasket than having to go in the touble to change it the 2nd time round when it leaks. Anyways i like coming to this thread so see pretty pics of mods and parts. Any clues on whats next?

You'll see when I get my hands on some Sparco brackets

[johnnehh]

Surprise...

He gave me discount prices on everything down to the lugs... Gotta love Rob!
