Well, how did you guys figure out that our cars came in that expansion anyway? I googled and googled and googled, and it did not say anything about the tC2 for that game. Maybe Gran turismo for PS3 has it too? But if a PC game has it, that would be perfect for me. I can't take my PS3 to the desert, but I can take my laptop.

I bought the season pass for Forza, so I automatically get the new car packs. It was recently announced. I think its the only game with the tc2.
Dirt and Forza have the tc1.
I've also played gran turismo and think its abismal compared to forza.
#1 I really don't remember
#2 Pretty sure I didn't retighten them once the car was on the ground. I followed the exact directions from the TRD instructions and from papa_bear's video....neither of them mentioned tightening them once on the ground.
Why you ask man?

Also I was wondering if overtightened/ tightened in the raised position bolt C prevents full travel of the control arm at ride height therefore keeping the rear higher up and NOT giving the proper 1.7" drop
Oh, duh it's right there in the directions. Maybe papa_bear's video was the one that made no mention of putting the weight on the tires.
I doubt it has made any difference though. My car seems just about as low as pictures I've seen of others on S-techs. Are you thinking you're not as low as you were expecting?

Alrighty, here's a first set of clips for the Dezod header. A couple things to note:
- Decent location, but it was kinda during rush hour on a Friday afternoon so there was way too much road noise from traffic. Going to find a better location and shoot another set as soon as possible.
- For some reason, the first clip makes the exhaust sound very raspy/farty...this is NOT how it sounds in person. You'll notice the exhaust sounds fine in the rest of the clips. I think my little camera's mic was overwhelmed by my exhaust plus all the road noise from traffic, so it reproduced it that way.
- If you listen hard at around 58-59 seconds, you can hear the sweet whistle the intake makes when I step on it
Engine mods:
- Dezod header
- TRD axleback
- Takeda CAI
- NST pulley
