In its natural habitat, the Taco seeks out new challenges...

Nice! I miss mine. I have recently bought a '22 T4R for my daily duties though. Don't think I am going to build it as much as the Taco though.

2.7 - 3.2 ohm resistor. I'm using the same, works great.

I have been somewhat on the hunt for a 2 or 3 bay box from Snap On or Mac for a while now but I still love my old school box, it is nearly as old as I am.

Does the 4Runner count as close enough to a Taco?

Was able to take the TT to work today. Beautiful day , 65 degrees. Had new plugs, coils, brake fluid replace, and general check over and she runs really strong. Tonite, I clayed the car in prep for application of the Kamikaze Infinity wax. Hope it does a nice job. Maybe apply this weekend. Anyone use it and were you pleased with it?

I saw your car when it was at Talbot's. Beautiful car that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor,

Thanks! Pretty happy with it and it really runs well. It has a Tubi exhaust that I can't decide if I want to keep on the car. Just a little bit too loud in the cabin. I may go back to the stock exhaust, but hate to go that far back in terms of sound and performance. I'll drive it some more to decide. He did a great job with teh car and is my go to mechanic for the TT.

I have the stock exhaust if you want to take it for a ride and hear the difference. I have been doing a fair amount of track days and it was recommended to me to get an aftermarket exhaust to get the heat out of the turbos to keep the engine oil cooler. Something I should discuss with Blair and get his opinion.
