Yep thats the place. the road to Cool is nice but it has gotten really congested recently so if you want any good runs you have to do it early in the morning. I honestly found this road to forest hill about a month ago so i just take this road now for those nice spirit drives!

Man that looks really good.. love the drop on it.. I haven't had a chance to ask this in the diffuser thread but how is the rear diffuser attached to the bumper, is that 3M tape, rivets? Im still deciding if i want to get one!!

3M tape and the screw in the refletors and I put a few screws through each side of the diffuser to bring the gap in. In hind sight, there's some better OEM toyota tape that has a weatherstripping seal that would hide any gap. I'll try to find it and get you a part#.

Drilling is unavoidable because you have to at least drill the 2 for the reflectors. Totally worth it.

I cant imagine driving this car int he snow. As my AD08Rs wear I am enjoying a touch of wheel spin again but I can only imagine what the torque would do on the snow

Throttle control! Also manual mode, shift at 2000 rpm.

500 whp SRT4?! That's impressive. A few years back my buddy and I modified his SRT4. We were able to get the car to 425 whp on stock internals but we found that the car became so unreliable after about 375 whp that he didn't want to drive it because he was so scared of it breaking down on him.

Lol that is exactly why I have a 400+ daily now. The SRT will make crazy power but it is very unreliable over 400. I have stock internals and a stock transmission. its running a GT3076R on 27psi on pump 91 with all the bolt ons, then 20psi on E85(injectors arent big enough). I keep mine dialed way back at 10psi to avoid breaking stuff. The drivetrain always has something wrong with it. Clutchs, axles, etc.



I snapped a CV at the hub.. Not the swivel joint.. the sold steal part.

Thanks man.. A LOT of time and money into that project. Would I do it again? Probably not. Id rath build something from the ground up the retro fit something that wasn't engineered for that type of power.
