My tune is set for 10AM Monday with my boys at Moore Automotive. Just got a very reasonable quote on paint for my car including my widebody, so setting that up for next month, and now gotta order tires so I can fit my fat boy wheels on! Guys I’m getting hyper!!!

Decided to stick with my stock 37J Satin White Pearl color, it’s hard to come by and I’ve fallen in love it it.

And my wheels are 18x10 +10 step lipped. With my wide body, they will sit flush to the fenders! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Don’t mind the awkward idle looping, as he really needs a retune. But the base map is working nicely so I can make sure everything goes well for dyno day. Even charged my A/C at work today, even though it’ll be ripped out the car after boxerfest 🤣🤣. I feel whole again now that he’s back with me running.

Got the new wheels home and popped one of the center caps out to take a closer look. I THOUGHT they were generic black plastic caps or had the original TRD badging torn off. Nope! Under a thick layer of black spray paint, the original gold foil TRD logos are still there and in good shape. I just need to sand the paint off, smooth them out, and polish them. I'm pumped not to have to go on another wild goose chase to find factory center caps!

Just uploaded another video if your bored check it out! Nothing too exciting just another quick cosmetic mod.

Me and my son along with my dad are working on a 2008 Mitsubishi gts 5spd we have done a few basic tune up to it have a new bumper and lights coming to install going for a aggressive stock look any ideals is much appreciated

Just some progress pics. A little bit at a time. Tip is how I picked it up last year.

The ages long argument/debate. Does it truly matter if you buy a pre-built car? Are you a firm believer on building your own car? Does it not matter, and all that matters is that you enjoy it? What are your opinions, and why do you think that it is such a controversial topic?

Its been a minute since I've posted and I'm very excited to show what I've been teasing on my IG for the entire winter.

Want to note that it'll be getting lowered on this upcoming saturday. But for the week this is where I stand.

-BC Extreme Low Coils installed and ready for drop

-Epsilon Aero Front lip and side skirts. Tried my hand at painting them to match the car and it came out okay. Needing some wet sanding and polish.

-Kansei 18x8.5 Hyper Silver Tandems with the special edition blue center caps.

I'm really pleased with how much it changed the car overall. Different personality. Lmk what you all think. Little things I could add to the car? Headlights arrive in the future 🤫

Let’s see those before and afters!

‘23 GR Corolla

The 1.6 liter G16E-GTS engine is still relatively new and I’m learning a lot from the GR Yaris forums and community about it while I build. So this build is slow, but deliberate.

I’ll start with what I first swapped out and make my way through the list.

Engine pitch mount: DeltaX Motorsports with 70a insert

Shift assembly kit: RacerX

Aero: Tom’s Racing Type TK wing

When I first got the civic and the current day!

Show off your 'before and after' (even if it's just one part). Let's celebrate the small victories!"

Just left my baby at the shop (I work there) so I can start pulling motor for upgrades, reseal and maintenance like timing, rings, gaskets, etc.

friend of mine is gonna tow the body to his house so we can wrap it and install all the new exterior too while motor is out. Then gut the inside and upgrade interior too.

Hate seeing him not in his spot at home. But can’t wait for spring when I start him up again and get a new tune. 🖤 I’ll make sure to post progress photos. But I may be a ghost for a bit with late night build sessions lol.

The day I got it, vs. about 2 months ago. 1.5 years of time and dedication has made the car virtually unrecognizable from where it was when I got it 👍 need updated pictures cuz even more has been done since this photo, but thats a surprise for later
