Got the SC back from the body shop (picked up a 97 black black five speed with a damaged door/quarter panel) and within an hour we dropped it on supra KYB/Eibach (thanks allen). It was irritatingly slow, like the slowest thing I've ever driven in my life by far so I had to at least make some noise or something until I get the AEM EMS in it and whatnot.
3" Stainless Tig welded 304 with 308 rod at 48-50 amps. .065 wall. 4 ply silicone bump connectors, stainless grade 8 t-bolt clamps and an AEM dry flow. Sounds good! Still the slower than frozen **** in jan.

At the same time my friend install the megan coilovers. Very good quality. In fact I feel that the hardware is in some ways better than some very expensive coilovers, and leaps and bounds better than tein.

My welds look pretty much like yours do now, I don’t get as much practice as I'd like, but I want to get the Roll of quarters look, But its hard on a circular surface like the intake pipe and on aluminum and other relatively softer metals. I always seem to mess up in someway or another
