It's taking a little longer to be sure I can devote the necessary funds to this project. Plus my Supra is in the air with the bottom off the engine to replace the oil pump right now, so it gets first dibs on my very limited time. I can say I have begun the complete solid bushing project, but it's a long way from finished. I also have RB rotors F/R on hand, but again, the Supra has all four of my jackstands right now. Give it a little bit and I'll be hitting this harder.

Besides all that, I am really enjoying the performance oriented build threads. I get lots of ideas from them.

Does that spoiler provide a substantial benefit? I have never really liked the big spoiler look, so I’m curious how others feel and if it makes a large difference.

Leo, does the 320 lph Aem in-tank fuel pump differ in spec from the stock pump? Why the change, is it to allow use of E30 with the supercharger?

The pics doesnt justify the actual look of the car, for me that APR wing made me wanting the car again. Its not to big or too small for her. Its functional,thats what i feel during cornering in the track. Honestly i dont have any comparison coz i never had a chance to run without that wing.

Rr racing suggested it from the start when i install the supercharger coz my F is at 68K miles. At $89 cost plus e85 compatible. I think the oem is only 280lph. I just change the strainer attach to it.
