Just got done installing some rdx injectors. They are almost a plug and play. Just need some 2007 Toyota Camry side marker clips for the injector and you need to shave the pins so that they will fit in the clip.

I got the rear wing for under $300 shipped I think.. I can't remember since I've been waiting like 5 months for it.

It comes in all the colors, mine is just silver. I'll be repainting it today and installing it later this week.

That's a good price painted. The wait sucks though. Customs was a pain in the ass huh?

The shop got my order today. Look like its time to pull the old PC out of storage to start tuning. Downfall of a Mac (not planning to run windows on my unit).

It all depends on where you buy parts from and what they are. I've bought stuff from Japan and it took 2 weeks to get to me. I've also bought parts from Thailand which has taken 1 month - 4 months.

I don't mind the wait though, if it's rare parts, it's worth the wait.

AJ-Racing took a year and some months to get me some stuff in the past...

Got my coil packs (Hitachi IGC0053's) and NGK Laser Iridium sparks.

No aftermarket cheap crap!

Also, the reason my car was misfiring was because of a loose spark plug, causing a loss of compression and I had fuel on the coil pack, it was all burnt and stuff, obviously this was over time it got looser and looser. I'm never gonna have a shop do simple stuff, they always mess up.

Cutting my lower grill to do some stuff. I noticed that when you look at it there are holes on the right by the driver's side fog, but not on the passenger side. Does anyone else k ow about this or why it's like that?

Looks like the holes are there from the factory. Trying to decide if I want to cut them out on the other side or leave them.

I cut mine out. To retailed the fog lights I used 2 small flat pieces of metal with a bolt that sandwiches the side of the bumper.

Well that doesn't really apply to me anymore. I decided not to cut it, I don't have steady hands.

Installing the innovative engine mounts and am running into the same problems I've been reading about the whole time. Even after all the warnings I went ahead and bought them.

Going to grad school in the fall, I'm going to need to save for that. After I graduate, I'll consider it.

Bought some 205/50/15 Dunlop Direzza DZ102's, mounted them on my summer wheels, bolted them on and went for a drive. Mmmm, fresh tires...
