Also picked up a white line rear camber adjustment kit from LIC a few days ago, just have to find a day to pull the control arms out and press out the bushings..

No cat-back.. Just those tips, however, I did gap the exhaust at the axel back just for sh*ts and giggles. I was surprised how decent it sounded lol. Drove around for the past few days like that, but I think I'm going to button it back up and just wait until I get a real exhaust. It's ghetto but it worked lol.

Car breaks traction even easier now with the car lowered. The tires my friend put on those wheels aren't crazy sticky, just cheap summer tires. Still handles great, but much easier to push the tail out with the COG a little lower. I hoping to dial out some of that negative camber in the rear with that white line kit. We'll see how it handles with a better alignment.

Lol yeah it's pretty ghetto.. Don't see much of a point to spend $1000+ for a car back to only get 7 more HP.. Gap it when I want to have a little more sound...

Fell in love with this super clean original paint nicely swapped Corolla.

Quick video of one of my good runs. Car is a lot easier to control with the mods done so far. Though the rear end needs some tightening up.

So it's been awhile since my last update. So here goes..

Some Cusco interior goods

Name: 78ABC541-5542-41F8-BECB-2F9A546064AE-891-000000BA8352A2B5.jpg Views: 113 Size: 260.4 KB

Snagged one of Grimmspeeds Limited "86" oil caps

Name: 004B27D6-6D9A-4B38-B329-138359B0D746-891-000000BA220D383D.jpg Views: 37 Size: 368.0 KB

Finally got a real exhaust, the Invidia cat-back.

Name: 6CD9107E-1BD0-4AC6-ACD6-8B417C2CBFE7-891-000000B9D2E6CDE5.jpg Views: 41 Size: 294.5 KB

Picked up some cheap worthwhile bushings from Whiteline. For the rear subframe and transmission craddle.

Bushings installed.. Still need to put the craddle one in.

Also got a sexy Greddy oil cooler for the wife's WRX

Name: 67C2E715-2D2D-4D3D-8A79-8D41E9A0FF20-891-000000B993E1F00C.jpg Views: 60 Size: 364.1 KB

And last but not least, (for now) is a tasty Cusco exhaust hangers to replace the spongy stock ones, and a Greddy oil plug magnet.
