Thx Crandall. I'd love to get our cars together, but alas, the van you see is the down east hauler.

He speaks the truth. Once I have more details set in stone we might be able to work something out.

I'm thinking of getting side window visor. Any inexpensive recommendation? I know Toyota genuine ones are way overpriced!

Got my rims back on, only to find out the very next day it snowed. Gotta love it.

Hmm, it has been 2 months or so since the last mod. Gotta do something new. Hey, how about slapping on an NST Lite Crank pulley OEM...or should I go for the 10% Underdrive one?
In red or graphite grey?

Common alternatives are Weathertech and AVS Ventshades. Weathertech are identical to Toyota and run around $110 US for 4 piece (sedan) set. No deal when you factor in the costs to actually get them into your hands. Ventshades are about 50% less expensive, and come in both stick-on and in-channel styles. Again, 4 pcs sets only for sedan. My guess would be that your most diligent research may net you $30 or $40 in savings, provided that you can locate 4 pcs for the 5dr. Or you may choose just to put visors on the front doors. In that case, many more US supplier options are open to you. I found that this was one of those times when the best, easiest, quickest option was just to go to Toyota. |

after a long and harsh winter, the tails condensated and fogged, so much water is trapped that it became an aquarium.
Also one mounting clip is broken, and some surface scratches. I decided to take it out. I think aftermarket tails are never meant to be used in Canadian winters, I learn my lesson the hard way. I wonder if genuine Toyota JDM tails resist to condensation better? any comment uncleyaris? |

Anyhow, so yeah, I got my "summer" muffler back on... painted the rear drum covers... again! (rusted through the winter) This time I prepped them with "Rust Converter"... supposed to chemically bond with the rust and form an inert surface... hopefully that will help. But then I put them in the oven (for the high-temp manifold paint to cure)... well they smoked and sweated and now I have all these little beads on them and my mom's house smells like burnt paint. Ha! (My car's there b/c I don't have a garage). Anyhow... yay for springtime mods... caliper sanding and painting to come!
