Hi, My name is Leonardo. I'm a Super-Mod in www.NASIOC.com and just joined here as I have, well, my dad bought a MY00 GS300 with a Toyomoto turbo kit and transmitionn work. Has also 19" Enkei's.

We just did the engine with Upgraded Supra internals (racing internals) as we had the same problems as the Supras, busted cyl# 6.

Now, we are about to order the Veilside kit as the car looks stock minus the Rims and the GReddy exhaust. The FMIC is painted black for the "Sneaky" factor.

Anyways, My other car (and don't flame me) is a Heavelly modded WRX.

I'll post pics of both later!

EDIT: Videos of the car on the Dyno on the second page

Don't Worry, you won't get flamed for the wrx.. it's heavily modded.. lets see how its done.. as long as its nothing wacked out, you'll be loved.

Thanks guys!

I'm in San Juan, Puerto Rico (and I really think someone should add it (Puerto Rico) to the states list as we are a US territory)

Welcome.

I'm a frequent traveler to Puerto Rico.

I stay at the Marriott Hotel on Ashford Av in San Juan.

I frequently visit towns of Las Piedras, San German, Gurabo, Manati.

I have been there over 2 dozen times.

Enjoy CL...

I have no idea! I have to check as I bought the car as is but since then, I did a full engine buildup and took it to the DynoJet and threw 360WHP at only 15psi with a wide spike (The tranny work makes it shift gradually instead of a hard shift) of 505WHP. Engine can hold 25psi without problems but my mechanic didn't have time to go so I dynoed the car as it was for street (A/F was kinda rich).

I'll try to take the boost up this week.

You should see those 19's smoking even ton 2-3 shift!

I am SO in love with this car!
