When I was looking for a stock spoiler, I did a nationwide Craigslist search and found a guy (Tomas S) in Chicago with SY stock setup. I arranged to buy it and he bundled the bumper cover and freight at an irresistible price. Looking at the back, it appears this cover started out with bumperette holes but they were filled. I've seen bumper cover repair work before and this looked pretty typical from the back, but perfect from the outer surface. My mechanic ground the bumperette brackets off the rear face bar and voila...

No tranny went a bit before and after I spoke to the tow guy for Cars-4-Kids he said the engine is fine... doesnt matter now as they will auction it and get some loot


shame cause I loved that car

I got a heavy battery with a lot of CCA as my stock battery only had 330 CCA and I need some front weight for balance as my car is mega RWD heavy

meanwhile I am stuck in a village in NY with no working car, 15F temps on the way to a negative 20-30F windchill... have heaters going in the garage to keep the new Toyos warm :-)

Got rid of the useless CD holder and put a storage bin in its place. Finally, I have a place to put the cell phone and garage door opener. Planning to do the garage door mod soon.

Installed new exhaust from unobtainium weldin, 3" titanium with 100 cel cats! A true work of art.

My indy called the GT2 front bumper will be painted tomorrow. Just waiting for a few parts to show up to get the job completed.

Adding a Cool Shirt system, and GT3 front calipers with slotted floating Brembo rotors.

I have been putting it off for a few years. After I use it for the first time I probably will be thinking "why didn't I do this earlier?".
