My friend decided to sell the vehicle, made a profit on his end so I learned a great lesson and he got paid

Update for this found out Toyota has a settlement to replace the trans and ecm for 10years or 150g miles to bad my friend sold it already

Well I received my lower control arms, very upset about no shock tabs but was told they only add them by request don't know how I was supposed to know that when I had previously told them I couldn't find the link. The what waiting 10 weeks for parts will get you. I will post pictures when I figure out how to

I remember seeing that somewhere on their site & thought WTF.... Shock mounts should be standard. Type of mount should be where the need for 'by request' comes into plat if/when not the default option.

Bummer regardless....

I did not realize that because I had to contact him through the phone and e-mail because there was no link on the website For just lower control arms

I will fabricate my own mount but what pisses me off is the fact that I will ruin the powder coat

To be honest, IMO the PC-ing wasn't worth the cost.

I had mine done in the flat black knowing I would likely opt for painting them as well to obtain a closer match to the color of my other parts within the engine compartment. I used a mild red Scotchbrite pad w/some Simple Green to clean & scuff the arms for painting. I easily cut through the majority of the edges w/minimal pressure just trying for a consistent surface. I definitely wasn't aggressive & the SB pad was not a new pad....

Still irritated but I've taken a nap and time to move on just need to figure where to place these tabs, weld and paint.

Finally took the time out to figure out how to post pictures. Not a lot of progress but I bought a 99 GMC bagged to flip then wrecked my 04 Camry. Helped a friend rebuild his RB25 ran into some program limitations trying to hit above 500hp. now time for pictures

time to fix

[cubber]

Cool pics. Those power wheel toys will haul butt when you put a big battery in! Cheaper to replace, too.

I've seen that 99 around for a while at a show or two and up on Craigslist for quite a while, it had a lot of short comings. I hope you can make them right and make it as cool as it was meant to be. Keep up the good work!
