djandrey_m's car build thread - see my latest mod!

[djandrey_M]

Ok, this may not seem as much to some of you car veterans, but tonight after much blood (damaged knuckles and elbows), sweat (trying to fit the thing properly), and tears (junk falling in my eyes constantly), I installed my TRD RSB! Immediately went on a test drive after that. Car definitely handles differently. And better, I think.

Except now I'm wondering, whether I was supposed to put it on the other way around, but that was the only way I could fit it in there...anyways please check out the pic:



So, did I do it right?

Oh, the TRD RSB is the best mod you can put on your Lara besides the SC. The blood, sweat and tears are worth the much needed support. You have it on correct, it can only go on one way. I do recomend getting some saftey glasses and some mechanics gloves.

Saftey First!!!

Good job man.
Yeah you have the TRD RSB installed right.

Looks good!

You've had better luck installing that than a lot of people here.

What are your plans for the car?

Yeah I did have better luck. It appears that the car spent most of its time here in western Washington, so no snowy and salty roads here.

And plans for the car are as follows:

1) KYB shocks and Tein springs (still waiting to receive the Teins from a guy on here).
2) White Excel wheels & tires from wheelmax (still waiting, they are definitely taking their sweet time)
3) 4 psi of boost. Already got the charger, now just researching and beginning to collect all the other parts I will need to run it safely.

that RSB really improves the car.

That mated with trd springs and some good struts will make it feel like whole diiferent car (good way).
