can you still take the diffuser off now since the twin pipes are in the way.

[Tigawoods]

if i needed to yeah, just unbolt it and slide it out.

[RabidTRD]

Is it bad that I wish your cams sounded more loby? lol

[Tigawoods]

open downpipe you can hear them really well! you loose alot of that loby sound by the time you get to the end of the exhaust.
the cams are a pretty mild grind anyways

[RabidTRD]

I may be blind, but I can't find what cams you used.

Were these Webcams? What grind?

[Tigawoods]

webcams 294

So as of now the car has been sitting in my garage for the past 3 weeks.

I havent gotten my Spree LED kit yet, although everyone else in the shipment got theirs last week.

No notification that my new radiator is being shipped or not. I cannot get in contact with the seller.

Just unnecessarily sitting.

Today I couldnt take it anymore so I gave the seller on ebay a bad review. He promptly contacted me and gave me a refund and said he was out of stock. This is the second time I have paid for a radiator and waited over a week before I was notified that they were out of stock. damn ebay

Since a aluminum radiator inst really necessary I am going to just order an oem through pep-boys and get it on monday.


the only other thing I am waiting for is the Spree LED kit. Still havent gotten a response from Julian.
I would hate to have to put the whole dash back together and then take it apart again if the LED's are infact coming.

Why don't you order a koyo from a reputable seller? I think even advance had an aluminum listed last time I looked.

[mandrek]

koyo is about 2x the cost of a godspeed. and though it sux that he got hosed on the seller selling him a product that was out of stock i would still go with a godspeed over an OEM IMO. good luck tigawoods.

I didnt see any on advance's website. I can get a mishimoto at Pepboys for 200. But I can get a stock for 120....hmmmmm

[chacha]

mishimoto

[Tigawoods]

welp. mishi it is.

finally I will have her up and running for the first time in a month!
I havent been away from my car for that long in over a year

oh and picked up a AEM dryflo to replace my Weapon R intake (first mod I did to my car rip) I went to go remove it to clean it and it just fell apart.
also made a better cleaner induction box for the new intake.

pics will be up tomorrow

are you by any chance selling you demolished filter?

[Tigawoods]

it wouldnt be worth it. All that is left is basically half of the cone.

installed the mishi rad. its a great product. really good fitment.

[199celica]

Dam it i wanted a weapon r filter to... o well i will take your word i wish i could just buy a new element or something for it but o well i will buy a new one.

[Ted95]

i really like your engine bay. its just clean and basic, that TRD bar just completes it.

[purplegt4]

Did the mishimoto radiator come with a cap?
Is there a spot on the bottom where the fan switch plug goes?

And did you get it from pep boys?

[Tigawoods]

they are pretty decent filters. I would recommend it. I bought mine used for 70 and it lasted me over 5 years

Thanks! I agree, the TRD bar kind of takes youre eye off of the slow motor underneath it ha

Yes it does, that shot was before I flushed it.
There is a hole at the bottom for it. And pepboys had it for me the next day.


The only thing I dont really like about the rad is the drain plug. It faces towards the back of the car, and its a fairly big hole. When you release it (with the cap still on) it still comes out at a fairly fast rate due to the size of the hole. If you want to drain it really really fast, pop of the rad cap and it SHOOTS out towards the rear of the car, and drains the system within a minute or so

[808celica]

yo bro, hows your rad mounts holding up? also hows that grounding kit working for you?
