Looks pretty sweet man, good work. Your poll desn't seem to tally votes that well, but I voted for the Weapon-R SW Intake next. BTW, you have 60mm throttle body in your future mod list twice. Where'd ya get the tC oil cap from?

Oil cap....I seen them on Ebay. About $14.00

I like the battery strap done like that. Had a hard time buying a AEM for $50.

Nice engine bay

Just to answer your question, because I did the same mod, yes they were very easy!

Did that header make your check engine light come on like everyone says it does? I don't think it looks like it would - the O2 sensor is pre-cat, and I don't see a post cat bung on there. I know there is one cuz we're higher than OBD-I, but the second one might be far enough down the line that it doesn't throw a code. Even if it does, limp mode doesn't result from a secondary O2 sensor CEL, but it's a _____ to stare at and emissions testing doesn't like that sort of thing.

Car looks sweet though. I can't wait for my TRD kit to get here. It was shipped yesterday. ;)

It will make the CEL come on but I did the sensor mod with the spark plug anti-foulers and turned it off. The second O2 sensor is on the S-Pipe between the first and second cat.

I went to the ADR website.....www.adrwheels.com, and I looked up your wheels

19X8.5 Hyper Black M-sports, and they dont make those wheels in the 5x100 bolt pattern. So are you sure you got those wheels, and if you did I dont understand how you go them to work.

Well if you notice on ADR's site they only have a few types of rims listed as 5X100. They never update their site but if you call them or any place that sell their wheels they will have all of them in 5X100. Plus I got these used off of a guy in Detroit and I think they are kinda old.
