    Haha yeah, I bump the shit out of this page all on my own, but hey, whatever floats your boat ;)

    I bought and installed some TRD spark plug leads today:

    Also bought an FGK header set and spent the afternoon polishing it up (only the parts that are visible when installed). Will probably chuck it on in a couple of weeks:

    Wasn't the coupling on the intake pipe blue before?

    They didnt have black wires instead? I think it would compliment the engine bay more considering almost everything is black. Are you going to do something about the tip of that CAI? It looks odd that its just a dead end there... Maybe put like a cone there or something? Cause right now it looks like bad plumbing. :noidea:

    Putting a filter on it would probably impede the airflow a lot. I've seen a few setups with tubes just ending right before the ITBs

    I didnt say put a filter on it, just do something to hide the cut off of the piping. It just looks all jaggedly there.

    Yeah, I was thinking cone... like a cone... I just think he should hide the edge of the end of that tubing cause it just looks like it was hacked off.

    Thanks. Should free things up a little :). Haha nice spotting! Yep, it used to be blue so I replaced it with a black one, which is also slightly longer so that the intake pipe sits a bit closer to the trumpets.

    Haha no, TRD wires are always red :p. Funny you asked about the end of the intake pipe because I'm actually in the process of looking into getting a custom bellmouth made :). It'll sit on the end of the pipe and compliment the trumpets. I agree that it looks odd with just a straight edge on the end of the pipe, so should look a lot tidier once I get something on the end.


    I changed my front lip in the weekend. Decided I wanted something slightly fatter to give the front end a 'fuller' look - The only problem was that the particular front lip I wanted was extremely hard to find. After searching the local junkyards and wreckers for about a year I finally managed to find one a week ago.

    The actual lip itself is a genuine Toyota item which was a factory optional extra for the 1997-2001 Toyota Caldina (ST215, JDM). Since they were only available as an option, the vast majority of Caldinas don't have them fitted, which is why it took so long for me to find one. Got one in the end though and did a bit of custom work to make it fit. The fitment was very close but I had to heat it up to adjust the curvature a bit.

    Here's some pics that I took today:

    Nice! I've never really liked the new rims you have but I think I do now! And it looks like you changed the bulbs in your fogs too?
