A little update. I recently just found out I had a cam seal leak . So I'm having a friend work on that at Toyota. He had a feeling something else was wrong. The last person that worked in my car didn't put the seals on correctly when I.stalling my itr cams, he didn't adjust the valves or anything and dropped a bolt where my timing was. That bolt screwed up the fully and what ever he did to try to get that bolt out screwed my crank all to Hell. I confronted him about the situation and he said he knew he dropped the bolt there and couldn't get it out I'm like Wtf!!! That's just like a doctor leaving one of his instruments in someone's stomach. He offered to fix it and buy the parts himself I said fyck no your never going near my car again!

Good news is my buddy found someone who was able to give the parts for free. So now she's finally gonna be fixed!!! He's also installing my 4-1 header and the 2.5" catback exhaust whoooooopie.

Man its gonna be loud but I can't wait!!!

The lip I'm gonna work on it a little later. I haven't had my car for 5 days. Butt I recently just bought a 98+ bumper for the teg. Soooo what I plan to do is restore my old bumper or practice with the touch up paint with it till I get good at it than ill work on the damages my lip kit did.


Anybody know what lip this is?? I've been trying to find out what is but dunno where to start so I figure ill post it up and maybe you guys would know. Opinions and flames are welcome about the lip.

That didn't look bad. It looks like it was just loose. The brackets suck on most lips.
Idk what lip that is. I would like to know too.

Hey, if you haven't gotten your computer or anything yet, I HIGHLY recommend phearable.net. You can get the comp and adapter harness from them and a chip already burned for your setup. I realize it wont be perfect, but you send them all your specs, and they give you a tune based on similar builds.

You should get I/H/E for the tune... might as well.

For the header I recommend 4-1 TypeR for the high end power. Our Vtec engines spend most of the time up there. The only time were at low end is on the street or the start of a race lol

Also, get a short ram, not a CAI... CAI is more for low end rather than high end. Short ram is high end power and is a good combo with the 4-1 header.

You will notice considerably more high end power after all of this... wont be bad at all

how does a short ram make high end power? a cia is for cold air and a short ram is ushley behind the raidatior not so cold air... i dont see the dirrerence
