So... Finally, the project is 95% complete! *rapturous cheers*!!!
Here are a few pics of the last few days/weeks work:
Shows the engine installed with the "modified" TRD rear strut brace which had to be returned/changed for a standard - Thanks to Dlymrt (again) for this!
Another view from the same day, air intake and filter pipework not connected
Final fitment of the complete custom exhaust system with magnaflow muffler
Final fitment of the exhaust system, quad twins
As they are installed, TRD sway bars on show too
Hard to make out, but I had to legally be stood some 15m back from the tuning bay (in case something blew up!) -
And the finished engine bay, a day after tuning for some final tweaks :)
Massive thanks to Tristan, Matt and Marcus - though it took longer than anticipated, at the end of 2012, the lads pulled together to get it done, after some prompting(!!), but these things take time, and the results are outstanding. The first time we took it out, Tristan knew what he was dealing with - I on the other hand was not prepared! Thinking I'd bitten off more than I could chew, the power delivery and sheer brutal acceleration is outrageous! Needless to say, after a day's driving on my own and feeling it out, I'm now super satisfied
