Ohhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyy! "S.A.M.S." Sexy Auto Mod Stuffs! lol.... Very nice! BTW, does the heater on that thing work? I was thinking "Dang, I'm so happy to FINALLY have heat", and I suddenly thought of all my homies back east..... HOLY CRAP that would really be unbearable were I to have been dealing with that "NO HEAT" crap in your neck of the woods.... Then again, I'd probably not have put it off,....AT ALL, were I a resident of your neck of the woods, lol.
So cool to see his rig coming together. What's the plan for the Suspension? (If any, of course).
Later Jerry and Sons!

don't know if the heater works......had to replace all the controls right after we got it because the idiot had all the lines removed....a guessing game on how to hook that up.....does not work smoothly and will have to re-run them.
thanks Mark......you have to come out to this side of the world someday.
EDIT:....as far as the suspension ???ZUK??? add a leaf???

haha the heat in my BMW don't work right, only through the defroster. 
It blows through the front vents and the flapper moves (I think) but no heat unless you turn on the defrost.

waiting for a reply from LC Engineering regarding the availability of exhaust studs......IE: can't find them on their site.
in regards to the parts researching I've been doing from Toyota parts sites....best price I'm finding for the complete gasket set is $305....a few places. When I called our local dealer (1 of 2) to give them a chance and see if I could cash in on a 10% coupon......not ony could the NOT come near the price, the guy was actually challenging e saying "I guarantee they are quoting you the wrong part" (IE: "valve grind versus COMPLETE set).....which I shot down by quoting him the parts #'s.
May try that technique again with him to see if he can at least beat the $$$$ I would spend considering the shipping for my list is about $40......since I believe the sites simply do the 10% of the total price is what's charged for shipping........highly inaccurate based upon the sizes of these things I'm ordering......probably should be more like $10. of course, have to factor in the $10 in gas I would probably spend to go get the parts (Hazleton)
rant over.
