thanks! the tire is a 285/40/17

 

Hypno, we need to eventually meet up and do 1JZ things together lol

 

Well I'm gonna have to decide on NA-T or 1JZ soon, unless funds allow a 2JZ-GTE. I'm after more of a daily driver as I like to build my car to drive it but the Nittos and some Stance GR+ would make for a great setup, I think. Yeah, you're about 10 hours from me lol!

 

yes! I go to all of the bbq's and such. Ive even seen your car there haha. It was owned by the other guy though at the time.

 

You can't really go wrong with either... the 1JZ might be a little more cost effective in the end. You'll love the coilover and tire combo though. The springs are a bit stiff for a dd but it doesn't bother me at all.

 

Time for another update!!! My stock exhaust just wasnt cutting it so I picked this one up.

Its an OBX exhaust from ebay and I couldnt be happier. Its all stainless mandrel bent pipe from the downpipe back for $300!!!

 

The car has been down for a while for a small project...

In the downtime I sold my MB's and got a set of these
17x9 Saleen reps

Loaded everything into the truck and got the tires mounted today



I plan on bleeding my brakes again and giving my ugly calipers a coat of paint so I havent had the car on the ground with the new wheels yet. But they look like they fit a lot better.

 

18s or bust.. looks good man, Your running same coils as me, now jam it.

 

Nice car, looks great in the Renaissance Red.

Any kind of idea what power it makes on the stock twins with the cams and fresh head? I bet it pulls very nicely up top.

 

I never had it on the dyno, but i definitely noticed an increase up top.

 

Hmm the exhaust is nice take pictures during the install

Is that a 3inch exhaust

 

Its a 3in to 3 1/2 in exhaust. Sounds pretty good for how cheap it is. I don't have many pics of the instal but i will have some pics of the mods needed to make it fit on the SC seeing as it's a Supra exhaust.

 

Those wheels turned out great. I actually like the black gloss to them. Paint the calipers to match and bolt them on. Your SC needs a bath bad. LOL

 

That's exactly what I did haha. I would wash it but its currently down for the count. Hopefully it will be running with some extra goodies by this weekend

 

Well over the past few weeks I've been working on the biggest projects for the car. On the way to class I blew a coolant line for the rear turbo. Luckily my friend Scott was able to give me a tow home.


The next time I drove the car after I replaced the line The rear turbo lost a seal and starting blowing oil everywhere
So I removed the factory twins.

Here's a ig box of now useless OEM turbo junk.


After removing the turbos I discovered that the rear turbo had lost a fin off of the exhaust wheel. I suspect that when I lost the coolant line this turbo got too hot and the fin cracked off.
