I thought you worked a deal out a few threads ago? Would you consider smoking 6 lamps in trade? Can we work in your yard with jacks, jack stands and lots of swearing?

^^^No, trade is done. Just got back to the office. No one thought about his RS1 having the sub box in the back. He had to run out to wallmart to get an adjustable wrench because I only brought was needed to take out mine or a car without the sub. N worries, got it done pretty quick after that.

TCNoob, don't think I will be able to. My wife would have a fit if I was out there pulling an all nighter. I don't mind helping but I just won't have enough time to do it. Especially since we are starting at 4:30. I am sure my wife has already planned the earlier part of my day not that I told her I would be doing mechanic work in the afternoon.

Oh, and no, you can't work in the yard w/ jackstands (they will sink) and everyone will have to watch their mouth as there will be kids running around. Sorry to sound like the old guy but the wife does day care at the house. Can't use the driveway either since it is asphalt and has a slope to it.

Dude, its 5:30! Where you at???


Wew, I was stressing out there for a little bit. But you made it. Sorry it took a little longer than expected but we still got done in right about 3 hours.

Nice meeting you both, hope you like the ride man! Love the exhaust btw but I am sure my wife would not appreciate it's sound level. Probably do the same set up minus the header and either the HKS or MR drift.

Gotta order a TRD **** now. Love that little thing. I think my shifter is a little taller than yours though. I even took my **** off and I just think mine is taller and is going to have a little bit of a gap between the **** and the shift bag. Who know, i may still do the Agency power one instead. cost more though.

TRD's are basically made by Eibach and are pretty much the same as the Pro Kits. While I have not had Prokits on a tc, I have had them on another car and I can say that they are pretty good. They are by no means a low drop though. Basically, you get about 1.5" at all corners on the TRD's. The car will ride pretty close to stock but handle better with less roll. If you want a better handling ride without sacrificing your stock struts then this is a very good option.
