Well:

I finally ordered the DSpeeds from Takakaira...They cost me approximately $155 US with shipping. I expect them in within a few weeks. I will let you know what I think of them once I receive them.Decided not to mess with attempting to clear the amber ones...Too much work and time for such little gain, IMHO. 

I expect to be receiving the infamous fuel mod next week sometime...The secondary fuel rail setup for the 8 additional injectors. Really looking forward to this, I can finally put in some basic fuel mapping, and somewhat tune the car until all is installed and swapped out.

I will be glad to be done with this project....

Need to kickin ass and takin names....

Guys, a little news...

My built transmission has arrived, my built engine is finished complete with 2UZ oil squirtes, I am picking it up next week. My fuel mod is shipping out to me next week. 

We will be performing the mock assembly to test all clearances at home, and then complete the final assembly of the engine. Then the swap gets done.

BTW, my D-Speeds came in to...Excellent service in Japan, and nice looking.

Oh yeah, Frank is welding up a new set of headers for me out of high grade stainless, these will be replacing the mild steel ones I have now...Frank removed them from my car today...What fantastic fabbing...To remove them, simply jack up the front of the car, put on jack stands, and remove them from the bottom. Everything else stays in place. BTW, the headers looked as good as the day he put them in...no cracks, no visible damage...
