Don't buy a lightwieght crank pully, the stock one is dampened to absorb vibrations in the engine. A non dampend pulley could cause engine damage.

Ah! thanks for the info!

Ok here's some tint pics, I haven't gotten the "dots" on the top of the hatch or side traingle windows blacked out yet, was told to wait 1 week for the tint to cure before doing this.

I got it tinted at a place in Vancouver, WA. called Solar Eclipse, was 150+tax and 30 for "nofault" protection. 13% HP Gray was the tint used. Can't roll down the windows yet, they told me 24 hours, but I think I'll wait 48 to be safe. And I can't wash em for a week... damn dirty windows...

kwnate - you said don't to the crank pulley and I can understand why after what you said, what about flywheel? Is there anything else I can do to lighten the mass of the rotating parts that I didn't mention that won't harm the engine?

Oh yeah, I'll post some pics of the interior and stuff when I can roll the windows down/take the top off.

On a side note, when I flew down I brought my 6mm hex wrench to take the top off in case it didn't come with the stock wrench. Opened the glove box, had the stock wrench, with plastic caps, in the original toyota bag. Original owners manual + original supplemental owners manual and supplemental toyota manual! Jack bag in the bag was original toyota bag and the jack didn't even look used!

Pretty sure I'm the 2nd owner besides the dealership.

nice car. the tint makes it look so much better, but arent those side windows a little illegal?

kwnate · 09-13-2006, 01:15 AM

Light wieght flywheel and an aluminum driveshaft would be good upgrades. Make sure you get a 3 piece wing too

Murd · 09-13-2006, 01:27 AM

Yeah a 3 piece wing is in its future hopefully!

As for the tint... maaaayyybeee...

They use some black paint on it. Not sure if the paint is anything special tho. I'll find out next week.
