Did some things over spring break. (Pics and Videos included)

Came across a deal that was too good to pass up
Magnaflow muffler 14815 with stock resonator still on

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLBBlvdvRMs


Bought a trd strut bar! Now I need springs shocks and rsb...this will probably come during summer time






I also put on some new rotors, pads, and fluid. Nothing fancy, some Raybestos Advanced Technology rotors and Satisfied Pro Ceramic pads. Of course I bled the whole braking system with some fresh fluid. Definitely got rid of that spongy brake pedal feel but I think I need to replace the rear shims since the ebrake tightens around 7 clicks.

No pictures of the new braking products since it's basically somewhat of an OEM upgrade but if people want, I could snap a few


I also ran seafoam through the brake booster line, crankcase and the fuel line. Tons of smoke came out and of course I changed the oil and spark plugs after running around town for a day. I hope this will increase my gas mileage...I'd probably have to change the fuel filter also.

Enjoy!

^ where ever you can find them. not many places still have them, ebay, the forsale sections here and on solaraguy.com and TRD dealers.

sounds good man, you should get an intake...or make one. the sound is orgasmic.
