TRD strut braces are in :-)
First drive was just a short trip around the block before returning home to check fluids and everything. All looked good so second drive was much more fun.
I've gotta be careful, the induction sound is ADDICTIVE! 2nd and 3rd gear is fantastic, but its very easy to exceed speed limits without noticing lol.
 

How we change with age, i used to lay around looking at pics of nude women, now i'm lazing around looking at pics of engine bays and getting excited. Still think VW bonnets are good though too 

Damn good job Rick! Love the engine bay 

Great work Rick, you work fast!

I've still got a couple of minor wiring issues to sort out, but it's running well :)
Then i've gotta start getting ready for MTC...

Nice work Rick. Looks like you are on track to be 'on track'!
 
Look forward to see the S.A. crew and their cars in a few short weeks.

Looks great Rick, cant wait to see & hear it. See u @ MTC!

Nice work! Congrats.

BEAMS power! Yeah!
Nice & clean engine bay.

The Beams is a really tidy engine, it doesn't have all the vacuum lines and stuff that the old 3sge has running everywhere. It also sounds heaps better.
