you should be able to change it out thru the glove box.

cars nowadays u have to do that and take the dash off or 90% to change HVAC related items.

Doomlight is right. The manual says to remove the glove box and the cover underneath it. Does not mention anything about removing the dash.

so its been kinda busy buying parts and what not.

SC is still sitting at the shop getting a cage, material is ordered but were just waiting on it to arrive.

in the mean time I have went to the junk yard and got some knuckles and sent them out to Alex at Battle Version to get modified for angle. On top of that I found out my Hydro is hooked up backwards so i will need to change how the lines are run and since im cracking open the brake line and will require to bleed them again. I
ordered my new brake setup.

Supra TT front calipers, Brembo Blanks, Goodridge SS brake lines, Hawk HP+ pads and of course ATE Super blue brake fluid.
rotors are 13 inch compaired to SC stock 11" iirc.




I also found out my harness and helmet are expired so ill need a new harness and helmet along with a new racing suit. FML right.

Sounds good mang Not that you need more power, but I am still curious to see some high boost numbers.
