Does anyone else feel rushed for SILV?

[avasilev]

Hey guys...

So yeah, a lot of you know that my car was involved in an accident a little while back...and ive been rushing ever since to get it back in one piece.

This week, however, i have found myself rushing...and i mean, all day every day nothing but supra supra supra, just in order to have it ready by SILV.

Gotta rush order new air bags, new this, suspension needs to go in, along with brakes, along with this and that and 12861428 other things.

Anyone else going through this, lol?

[Da BlaCkMoBiLe]

dont worry man, alot of us are feeling that way.

[MyKarIsVicious]

i call it pre-silv jitters

[Da BlaCkMoBiLe]

LoL sure you can call it that, but if you putting all your things together last minutes its called sweating your ass off and hopeing your car will be able to drive to vegas. *knock on wood* but good luck man, i'm in the same boat. shit hope to see everyones up there safe and bling blinging.

I was in the same boat getting my mechanical stuff done last week. Got everything done last week but when I went to my body shop to get the car painted, they told me they were busy and can't start until this week. All that rushing for nothing so my car won't be ready.

[kevganzon]

many people are never ready for silv. they wait till last minute and never show up. shame.

By the way, I have a wholesale account with a local toyota dealership. I get 15-20% discount on all parts and they usually get it the next day. Let me know if you need a part and I can get it quick.

hey can you do me a favor and check to see if they have a part in stock???? its the plate that holds up the tranny and driveshaft. the guy whos doing my swap from NA to TT is having a problem with that one last part, Whittier Toyota fucking sucks, and said this item is on back order. The price on the part wholesale wise is like $170. at this point, i might just have one fabed up. I really rather have a toyota oem part, but shit i cant wait for like 3 weeks. Whittier Toyota takes their sweet ass time fucking up your order before they get it right. If you can check and see if they have that part in stock that would be great. if not then i guess i'm going to get one fabed. Thanks man.

Is that plate different on the NA vs. the TT? are you Auto or 5spd?

hope the car makes it to Vegas :)

Thanks for looking it up for me, but i found a solution. got a welder to just weld that shit on for me

kevganzon
To my knowledge they should be the same plate where you just flip it the other way and its good to go, but somehow i find a way to have an issue with it.

As of right now everything is going as planned so i'm crossing my fingers that nothing unexpected comes up, but you know life. well heres some pictures of my progress so far guys.
