I had the pleasure of riding on Jons Veloster. Afterwards my Veloster turned into a Toyota Corolla

 

Thanks!!

 

how difficult was it to run the wires/hoses for the boost gauge through that piece of the dash? I just ran an auto meter gauge today and need a solid place to mount it

 

I won't say it was easy. But it's not exactly horrible either. I ran a fish tape down from above and pulled the wires up.

 

i know. I havent been stalking Swordy as much as I used to.

 

Hey nice build! I like it! I have a question: Did you get any rubbing issue since you got the news wheels and the coilovers? And if i`m right, thoses tires ares 225/40R18? Thanks!

 

I did have some rubbing, but that's due to the offset not the tyre size. But a little extra camber and a slight massage to the fenders I'm not any more.

 

Indeed. Tork has done a lot for the VT community, but unfortunately, I could not overlook the cost and materials used. I tried to use the upcoming oil catch can as justification. Oh well. 6th element, here I come.

 

Sad face. decisions decisions...

 

Honestly the Big Gulp is heavy and heat soaks like a brick. I picked it up when it was the only 3.5" on the market. Right now there are more choices so odds are I'd pick a different one.

 

Did the Big Gulp intake interfere with the 845 intercooler cold pipe? Is that why you cut it?

 

Correct. That and I wanted to fit that giant filter and velocity stack.

 

what do you think about the BFGoodrich g-Force's?

 

So far I like them a lot. They look awesome. They grip really well for a street tyre. Wet traction is really good.
My only complaints are that they don't like to clean up well and that they make a bunch of road noise.

 

Updated with more photos.

 

I enjoyed the new additions. Sadly I have no build thread. [emoji22]

 

Wow those look just like the T6S's I have, looks good!

 

Those look very nice. I like them.

 

Thanks! I like them too!

 

Updated with Wheels and Tyres!

 

Updated some of the engine info.

 

Yup. Hanging onto the stockers till spring breaks then the are going in the rubbish heap.

 

So are you running the stock tires for winter and going with some other tires for summer?

 

Wheels are for summer rollers. And the current forecast is NOT SUMMER.

 

Digging the progress.

And am I missing the pics with new wheels installed?

 

Swishy, lookin' great, as always!!! :wink:

 

Thanks!!

 

that's right. i forgot you were in the GB from pierce.

 

and you are on eibachs?

 

K-Sport COs

 

I have about an inch of clearance.

 

RALLY CAR is what i have been going for. I hope mine clear the ground by 1/8" when i drop it.

 

I like the aggressive look. Funny, really. I put mud flaps on my road car but took them off my off-road truck.

 

Lol! Same thing I have done.

 

I love the look of the RA flaps and the VT stays a lot cleaner.

 

Got my RA flaps installed yesterday. Thanks Kip!
