UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

[UNBROKEN]

Why/how are you burning through tires so quickly? I've had my Toyos for 15k miles and they still look new...

280 treadwear tires and I drive it very hard on my favorite curvy backroads.

Love hearing that! Wish I still lived in New England as there were some epic roads. Not so much in the Midwest

Reworked the upper headlight tint with a lighter version. I like it much better...you can still see the details inside the lights instead of looking like paint. Last pic is the old dark tint.

Hey Unbroken that looks good. Is that vivid tint and wat shade?

 

[UNBROKEN]

Yes it’s Vvivid but I don’t remember the shade. It’s also turning purple…I’ll be swapping to fully painted heads soon.

What a read! Killer stuff here, thank you for sharing all your great ideas with us!! My list of stuff just got longer!!!!

It’s pretty easy. 4 screws on the front doors and 5 on the rear. Then the panels just pop off. The inner structure is a little more involved because you have to release the window glass to remove them but still not hard.

I have recently joined the forum and greatly appreciate your entire writeup on what you have done to your ST. I am getting ready to perform a complete audio upgrade but wanted to get your feedback related to sound deadening and would like to get your feedback on the following:

1. How difficult is it to remove the window glass retaining clips?
2. Is it difficult to reattach the window regulator panel to the glass retaining clips?
3. On September 5, 2020, Post #254 shows a picture where your headliner was dropped to remove the roof rails. I'm interested in applying sound deadening to the roof sheet metal. How difficult is it to remove the headliner and I also heard that it is glued to the roof structure in a few areas. How did you address that?
4. Did you apply sound deadening to the entire floor and if so, how difficult was it to remove the center console?

Thanks for your feedback.

Pods built and installed for the differential rear fill widebands. Hope to have the 4th amp installed tomorrow and power to everything so I can write them into the tune next week.

Ok…so I always liked the idea of the wiper delete but I never liked the 40mm wide aluminum delete plug I used. I tried to work with companys in the U.K. And also Germany to have these made…one ghosted me, the other took my money, sent a part that wasn’t even close to what I ordered and then ghosted me…luckily PayPal made me whole again. So…I ordered up some black acrylic circles from my friend with a waterjet and made my own. I had to sand one down from 5.1mm thick to 4.4mm to match the glass thickness then CA glue it to the backer and after that it popped right in. All the delete plug companies use black rtv so I did the same. I like I much better than the giant aluminum plug.

Yeah looks wayyy better than other plugs out there. Nice write up per usual.

Dang looks clean!

 

[STJIM]

I don’t mind my aluminum plug but that sure looks a hell of a lot better! By the way, what size tubing did you use on your exhaust tips. They also look great Jim

They’re 4”.

This is just perfection.!
Couple of questions, what does "then CA glue it to the backer " mean exactly??
What is the final size of your acrylic plug? thickness = 4.4mm OD=?
Are your plugs tapered? They appear to have a taper in the pics.
looks like an extremely tight fit, how did you seal it exactly? Around the OD?
Sorry to bombard you with all the questions, but I am obviously trying to do this, and I want it perfect just as yours is!!

Thank you in advance!

The part that passes through the glass is 23.8mm wide and I sanded it down to 4.4mm thick to match the glass. No taper.
The larger pieces in the pic are the backers…the smaller piece is glued to that. CA glue is just super glue…the stuff I keep is the consistency of water to keep tolerances close on other stuff I tinker with. It’s held in the glass with black silicone sealant…which is also a glue in this case. Take a look at the install videos from Kill All Wipers…it’ll show how to glue it in place and finish the outside.

This should be finished up and in hand I’d guess by the end of next week. Hot side turbo piping from FenFab designed to work with the AFe CAI’s.

SWEET. I have one in black on order. Can't wait to get mine so I can throw in my charge pipe and IC that I've had on the shop floor for months!

I assume that it will still work with the stock intake as well as with the aFe?
