What shop did the tuning?
What kind of wheels are they?
what is the engine built with? like a mod list.Is that like a European dash? I noticed the automatic climate control.... Fuckin hot, though i heard wiring and making it work right is a BITCH.

For tuning I went to a shop in PA called Hybrid Dynamics. They're pretty good. The wheels are actually Rota HM3's. They work for now since I dont have lots of money to just spend 1,000s of dollars on wheels.. :cry:

10. To what direction should the arrow on the pistons point to?

When you install the piston on the block the arrow should point towards the timing belt.

Thank you for the nice comments man. As far as the arrows go, with Vitara pistons with the FJR I-Beams they need to face the clutch and not the timing belt. There is almost no noise as you would get with them facing the other direction. Also, if you set the vales in the domes ontop of the pistons they fit prefect with the pistons installed backwards like that. But then this is my personal thought. You can run them the other direction if you don't mind the noise...?

We tuned it to 18 pounds.. But for DD we turned it down to 14 pounds..

And thank you all for the great comments!

#159977 you are puching those numbers from 14 pounds? You have a great setup and the tuning is on the money! Hold your head high that is an awesome DD! I have to admit I am a lil jealous lol. I was spending a lot of time deciding between NA and Boost. Since I believe I am gonna stick with a SOHC I would have to say I am gonna have to boost it somewhere down the road to be happy with the power. Cool Car Man :thumb:

#167583 Honestly, I am feelin the gold valve cover and with those blue NGK wires on it it will probably look sharp. I am a fan of the shift knob as well. I love pretty much anything gun metal :thumb:

#167596 That SS clutch line looks a lit different from the Earl's one. Not just the black coating on it, but it looks like your's has a banjo style fitting on one end?

First time I've seen a Chase Bays SS clutch line :thumb:
