looks like a nice build!

two things:
+ the custom dead foot pedal - who made it? it looks poorly machined ... no offense meant if you did it, but it couldve been cut much nicer around the edges and given a nice surface finish

+ are you going s/c or turbo? figured you were going FI due to the gauges ... but didnt see any other hints/info
[edit - didnt see ur above reply, or notice the belt]

[DAMON]

he wants to go TRD blower, hence the TRD blower belt...

looks clean as always bro, keep it up!
