Looks good. You won't regret getting a ffim from seth, his work is top notch. I would put mine over my fireplace for everyone to look at if I could.

Ohhh! You only comment when I'm waiting on parts!!

Waiting on from Champion: Toyota Red Coolant (cheaper than local price), 92 dipstick (mine is rough), Toyota Fuel Filter, Power Antenna Motor

Also, modifying my downpipe and such, then, test run!

Have you decided on the quickspool valve yet?

Copying you.. hmm..

I have decided that I want the QSV however I have priorities such as the Sethron FFIM and a Haltech.. I think I want a Haltech that is :-\ .. I'm really undecided on a standalone. I don't want AEM, I hear too much negative crap about it. I want sequential injection and overall easy tunability so far the Haltech is what's standing out above the crowd (for the price..)

Are you going to tune it yourself? If not, you will likely have an easier time finding someone to tune it and for cheaper. The same point applies if you're ever out of town and something goes wrong. Just a thought...

Street tune myself, professional tune later when the car is done.. I'm just sick of trying to trick the TCCS all the time. I want the engine to run how I want it to run, no trickery or guesswork involved.

You know, you can buy Toyota Red at most Carquests, right?

You know, I was ordering all that crap from Toyota anyways.. why not just stick some coolant in the box too? Oh, and what's a Carquest?

Manifold ETA? I can't wait to see pics of that thing... :)

Probably won't have it before my birthday (12-25) so, we'll see ..

On a side note, my paycheck is 11 days late. I get paid ONCE a month. I'm coasting on like, almost no money at all here. Car is at a standstill until I get paid. This is crazy.

No more manifold. My company can't afford me anymore, so I'm looking for work.

Got my box from Toyota. The car is simply waiting on the exhaust to be welded up.

That's terrible news Mike! I still have an opening up here! I can't make any promises; but, if you're willing to have two Black 91's in the same town, shoot me your resume!

On a lighter note...

The bay is looking SWEET! :)

That's generous. Tempting but moving across the country would have to be a last resort for me. Besides, you sure you want a 21yr old beating you with (what looks like) the same car as yours? ;) I kid, I kid.

Thanks for the comments

Update.

Dropped the fuel tank and both straps are rusted so badly that they're in pieces all over my garage. I don't get how they're rusted but nothing else under the car is besides the tank/diff? It doesn't make sense. Anyways, the tank is rusted on the corners and I don't want to try and bolt this thing back up to my car. I want a new one, a rust free one. I think I have one pending but we'll see what happens this weekend.

Found a fuel tank about 20 mins away. I'm going to be picking it up next week. I have my -8 SS line ran from the rail to the filter and next to the tank. Just waiting for the tank so I can tap the hangar and bolt it all up. I have the DP completed, wastegate bolted up, and everything is ready to rock. Literally the last thing to do is the fuel tank and get a 2ft piece of 3" piping to go from the DP to the rest of the exhaust.
