Looks like a very solid build. You definitely have the car kitted with some nice and hard to find pieces, also pieces hard to find info on. If you feel up for it definitely help out the community with some how-to’s and parts reviews.

I noticed the 10.6:1 Wiseco pistons in your build. I’ve been interested in how small compression bumps help these engines with low end torque, but haven’t found anybody really doing it, so if you feel like sharing about those it would be awesome.

If you’re looking for a small cheaper brake upgrade, I’m in the process of acquiring Toyota and Mazda parts that makes the front brakes 2 piston floating calipers. I’m Gonna do a how-to when I do it, so keep an eye out.

Most of these are older parts and were installed on the car around 2015-2016'ish, but the car sat for about 8 years and I'm finally now getting back to it. I still have a few of the parts in the garage I need to install (wot box, diff mounts, rear sway bar, etc), but I have it back up and running again.

So, I don't have any pictures on the installs, and most of the parts went on at once (thanks to @Rokusek and @DISIFTW). I honestly don't remember what it feels like to drive it anywhere close to stock. Feel free to let me know what parts you're having a hard time finding info about and I can help fill you in.

For the pistons (custom Wiseco's), I believe that was the best option at the time the motor was built, and there's probably way better options now. This motor was built by sp63 for someone else, I just copied in the specs he gave me.
