Well, the parts have been ordered, and it shouldn't be more than a week and a half til all the parts I need to complete my car are in my hands :D

Most of the parts I ordered were just gaskets and the such, except for a new manifold, suspension brace, and a few hoses

Check out these pics I just took:

Hate to sound like a moron (too late) but what are you doing to it?

Well I had an exhaust manifold leak, so I decided to pull the manifold, and off came all the exhaust components, turbo and such, so then while it was off, I am putting on a 3" downpipe along with a 3" SS exhaust system. At the same time I pulled the valve cover to have it powder coated along with the intercooler pipes and one bracket. I am also putting on a Turbo XS RFL blow off valve and I have a manual boost controller w/boost guage from before.

Did you go with the oem manifold from toyota or did you buy on eof those tubular manifolds? even though the car is in pieces it still looks great, your valve cover looks polished who had that done for you? keep us posted buddy!

I am getting an OEM 93 manifold brand new, and the valve cover was powder coated in silver. I don't really know what place did it because I got it done through a friend.
