3" exhaust, catch can and front mount intercooler. Plan on fitting a piggy back ecu and auto valve body upgrade for fastre shifts around mid year and that will be it for the engine/drivetrain.

Thanks mate!

Progress, brake caliper mounts get done tomorrow for 338x32mm sized rotors and 150 prado calipers. I was thinking of fitting 6 pot wilwoods but then I'd have to fit a master cylinder to suit and wasn't sure if it would work with the ABS system.

No I don't unfortunately, neither have the skill or a place to do it.

Maybe one day!

Hold up on the shocks and other bits and pieces from the states. Poly Performance don't have the Fox 2.5 remote DSC adjusters in stock and bad timing with the Finke coming up.

I have auto, its like driving stock but can feel the load from the tyres if that makes sense? Highly recommend re-gearing!

What do you mean by boots? Tyres?

Did you buy anything? Nothing over the top just some gauge pods moulded into the dash and a few other bits and bobs mostly just retrimmed in suede with stitching and other parts to be painted.
