Oh! Belated thanks for the pics, Jeff!
Pic'less update:
Car has been parked for most of the last three weeks, but during that time I installed the JDM Passenger seat and the Grimmspeed EBCS. Swapping out the weight pressure bladder was not as bad as I anticipated, and all existing airbags are functional! I am very happy with the seats, and incredibly thankful that Hilux sold them to me with the bases already swapped, and for delivering them to my door.
I also got a nice injection of extra cash from work this month... So with that burning a hole in my pocket, I impulsively ordered a
Go Fast Bits BOV.
Ah man, I'm so ashamed. The first month of owning this car, I read up on these things, and learned why VTA is not ideal for Subarus due to the OEM BPV dumping the air after the MAF. And I thought, "Ok. Scratch that idea."
But... I couldn't resist... the inner rice within.
The moment I purchased it however, I thought of all the other things I could've used that money on:
- sushi
- savings for steering wheel
- sway bar
- engine mounts
- remove dents from car
- head unit
- savings for camera lens
- not spend it
- lots of bubble tea
...oh well. It's on and it looks fab. I have yet to hear it though.
One other thing that happened: I noticed there was a tear in my IC/TB coupler lastnight. I didn't think that would go well on Sunny's dyno tomorrow, but LDS saved me by offering the one he had, from his Samco kit, for free.
LDS, I am forever grateful!! (I am also grateful to Kenzo who would've offered his coupler, but we figured it was too small).
Ultimately, the generosity I've received from this forum has been...
Well, maybe not emotional, but I have been blessed here, and I am very grateful for everyone's help.
Tomorrow... the car will be finally be Stage Awesome!
