Does the tsudo midpipe combined with a trd a-back actually sound like an sti?

No dude i have a MEGAN Spipe, knock-off tsudo midpipe and TRD exhaust it not at all does it sound like a STI. Sounds a little deeper and is not quiet at highway speeds any more.

What do you mean by retrofit ? Like custom made ?

So where can i get my hands on one of the spring loaded bolts that go on at the bottom of the headers or over by the exhaust?

Yea, using parts from other car, baking open your headlights, and retrofitting that stuff in.

Best bet is the dealer. A little pricey but shouldnt be more than $5 seeing as it only 1 bolt.

that way you get a definite answer straight from the source.

I sent an email to Mike about it on Thursday, tried the chat all day yesterday, and haven't gotten any responses today either.

Try calling them?

Not getting responses yesterday or today doesnt surprise me seeing as its a sat and sun.

Most shops are closed on the weekend or are only available by appointment.

Im sure theyll get back to you Monday.

They might have different sizes depends on what you need could be wrong though

Right, 2.5 makes sense though; Ptuning only sells cam followers for the tC, so their number should be right. Also, it says max size is 5.20, which is 2.5 (follower) + 2.7 (max shim).

I was thrown off by Supertech. Under inventory, cam followers they have "Toyota 2JZ / 3SGTE/ 1ZZ / Scion / Tacoma 2RZ-3RZ / Nissan RB26" listed as 3.38. I think Ptuning sells Toyota / Nissan / Mazda Duratec.

Anybody have any ideas as to how i could reduce this gap/improve the look of this?
This is a TWM aluminum ****, stock boot, and TRD quickshifter.
(I have searched, found some decent results, but I'm looking for more options.)
Open to any suggestions.

make a custom shift boot or cut the shifter and re-thread the top.

Is it okay to have both the clutch and brake pedal fully depressed while stopping at a steep incline?

I just realized that I have been riding my clutch for the past 35k miles and trying to change my riding habits.

If your not shifting in or out of gear you shouldnt be using the clutch.

My sunroof makes a whistle-like sound whenever I drive 50mph and over. It's like the sound you get when driving down the highway with a window cracked open. Anyway, I figured it was the seal around it that came loose or something. So I took it to Toyota to see what was wrong and they told me that it was indeed the seal that came unglued/loose. Then they said that in order to fix it, they would have to order new seals and tracks, but that it would cost me $2,200! What I want to know is, has anyone had this happen to them? If so, is there any other way to get it fixed without costing me so much $$?
