I pulled this image from my Facebook so excuse the quality. I snapped a quick picture while changing the wheels but was rushing to pick a friend up from the airport so did not have time to clean the suspension....yet

Your car looks great! Wish those parts we're so damn expensive and hard to get.
Can you tell us the specs of the Mg wheels? size and offset?

Would you by chance know how much they weigh? Are they lighter than your Te37's?

I did not weigh them before selling but they were bloody light without tyres. Much lighter than the TE's and the Aluminum ones

busy.
Awesome Ash the wheels look good and the car does as well.

Have you ever thought of throwing the RR supercharger at your car?

I really think that would maybe be a good option going forward though expensive.

Im actually a big fan of the above mentioned track tested mods you can't go wrong with people like that.

Hey Coryn,

Thank you so much! I looked at the supercharger and if I still had my older IS-F that would have been the ideal route, with the car being what it is I really do not want to change anything that would detract from the original way the package was supposed to be. I understand slightly more power etc will put the suspension, sway bars and differential through it's proper paces but at the same time I am the sort of person that would keep a sort of special car just the way it was built.

With the long boring answer, yes I would love the supercharger just not on this car. A mid pipe (keeping the factory item) is all that is planned mechanically with only a shift **** for the interior and perhaps a proper fixed back seat. As you would guess, I changed wheels just to keep the OEM's from harm so I am a little pedantic.

Thank you kindly my friend! I saw the Ultra's, luckily I bought these at a far too cheap price so I had to jump on them (curbing and all) T_T

Good plan man I bet the car will go good anyway.

Im really keen to see and hear how you and the car go at the track.

Linear power is a good thing.Its one of the big reasons why I stayed at the BPU level with the Supra because I didn't want to sacrifice driveability under all conditions.
