Default 93 GTE/Single/V160

I'm not much on posting info on my car, but took a picture this weekend of my engine bay so here it is.
Originally bought the car, did the GTE swap, stock turbos where blown. Decided to single it, since it was already down, a friend suggested that a V160 would be cool.

Looking good man, that's what I one day hope to do to mine.

What all did you have to do to use the Supra master cylinder? Did you change the booster?

Thanks guys. Sorry, it's the clutch master cylinder mounted on the pedal in the car, not the brake master.
Got the Supra cruise cable yesterday, looks like I'm going to have to move the cruise box to actually route the cruise cable so it doesn't go over the spark plug cover.
BTW, if you anyone is going to do the swap - my suggestion is to go single before you put it in the car. You won't have to beat your firewall back like I did... Also, if you go V160, prepare to beat the tunnel back a bunch!

Man, I wish I had the skills and know-how to do my own swaps. Love seeing these kinds of builds, where you get a car for 1k and build it up. Good job, can't wait to see vids of the V160 in action!!

Well, I haven't done much to it, been sitting at least 1 1/2 years, just need to put interior back together, bleed clutch and get exhaust done, but here she is parked in all of her glory. Single is on, 6 speed is in, TT brakes, etc... I guess too many projects. If you look at the side pic (in the post below this one), you can see the TT brakes and the TT wheels, my volks wouldn't clear the calipers.
