Why the gen2 -> gen1 swap

shell sphinx Why the gen2 -> gen1 swap

Long story.

tl;dr, I moved in between countries and it gave me time to come to the conclusion that the GR wasn’t worth 2-3x the price.

I also want to get more into HPDE/AutoX in 2025, and throwing a $12k car into a wall is less painful than a $30k car.

Brought the car to an auto body repair shop today to correct a horrendous mistake that the previous owner made. Bro previously self-tappered some sideskirts into the rear quarter, so I had the holes cut and welded.

Paint match isn't even close to perfect but I'd rather that than have my quarters rust out. It'll be covered by the TRD skirts anyway.

CW: quarter panel gore

Coils are on and TE’s are prepped to install!

I was supposed to get the TEs on with the coilovers, but looks like I forgot to account for the BBK 😅 I’ll need to order 3mm spacers

#

TE37SL’s are on! Need to order control arms to dial in rear camber but otherwise quite happy with how everything looks.

Next install will be aero!
