very nice! if you dont mind me asking a few questions, do you work there? how much was the build total? did you leave your side moldings off on purpose? do you have any videos of a dyno, or any pulls?

Hello , the ecu is stock 02 supra 6 speed . No check engine lights clean as a whistle ..
I do work at SVS aka special vehicle services and can tell you that going the supra six speed route will quickly throw you over 10k considering 7-8k for the engine and trans alone with harness and ecu .
It's a bit longer than stock 5speed trans so some fab work or srt cnc shifter bracket is needed , and several misc items to make it jive ..
I went vvti since my supra (can be seen in a few shots on video) is u.s spec , I wanted to play around with vvti and let me tell you @ B.P.U it is far superior to the us spec motor in reference to the low end and torque . Same brutal top end 4th gear on .
We have a loading dock at Svs so if any of you guys where interested we could ship or arrange pick up fairly cheap ..
And much agreed on the paint job , the original owner was a joke .. Really did what should be posted as a sticky in refference to what one should never do to a Lexus chassis ,. This shut had 20" chromes when I got it also .
After selling his bull**** Giavanni wheels , nitrous kit and headers I basically broke even on the purchase price which added up to zero's ..
Yes , it was free after the sale of his aftermarket stuff

Thanks guys , really appreciate the good word . As far as the side moldings I have to put them on today , but I will not be leaving them off (to many idiots in my town likely to smash me with a door) saves me a murder case also. The wheels are 18x10 rear 18x9 fronts on 285 35 18's and 245 30 18's front you can hardly tell from the video but the rear has been flared out about 3.5" to accomidate . It's all rolled and flared then ironed out before paint, the front fenders are 1.8 inches wider now also .. It's only noticeable to the IS300 fans .
I'll get some better interior pictures for you guys today , and post em up .
Keep in mind I also have a 680whp FD rx7 and 970whp MKIV supra so the last thing I want is to over modify it . The australians claim between 450-480 ground horse @ 19 psi bpu level .
I'm at around 19.5 steady, so a Dyno pull is next for sure .. I destroyed a new SS Camaro , don't know if it was a novice driver on the gears , but he was all rear view mirror half way through 3rd

By the way wheels are
Volk GTU , I've been wanting a mesh wheel for a long time . I think you guys will like them better when I lower the car on suspension
