Default Pick my next MOD. What do you want to see.

Well everyone I am at a crossroads on my next mod so I will leave it up to what would benefit the interest of those here the most. Of course I would put together a write up on it.

The mod would occur by the of the month.
I already have a Toms STB on order and Toms rear deck spoiler, so those are out.

i thought about lsd, but i know for sure it will fit and it will gain a lot of speed, so it's nothing exciting. that's why i didn't vote that

instead i voted the supra tt rear brake, coz' that's good for my sc430 and gs400 both do that lee. maybe you can make couple more brackets at the same time to save a few more bucks!

1) header - not feeling much
2) tc - it will work for sure
3) lsd - it will work for sure
4) brakes - yay!
5) intake - you already got one

LOL. We shall see Henry. All of them are good for me.
BTW I will have a complete write up on the 2006 taillights with pics and the load resistor to keep the indicator light off. Also the top reflector not only looks different, it is a different size! A gap is present with the old reflector.
Give it a couple of days and I will post with pics

That is exactly correct Henry. The new 06 top reflector is required as there is a gap with 06 taillights and old reflector. I should have mine later today. The taillights are installed, just need the correct yellow bulb for the turn signal portion and top reflector. Pics coming tomorrow.

Poll closes on Tuesday. Appears that I need to get those wrenches and knuckle buster bandages ready for that header install. Of course I will dyno first and afterwards.

OK guys, I will schedule an appointment for a dyno next week and order up the headers this week. Will post numbers, charts, before ,after, impressions, pictures, and of course some dyno pics!
This should assist LS430 and GS430 owners as well as I am not aware of a NA 430 with dynos before and after. Cool, another mod.
thanks
Lee
