NO, the shipping company is being all gay with christmas and tried to say they arnt going to deliver it utill after the holidays. i obviously *****ed and now they said they will see what they can do about delivering it today. it was suposed to be here a couple days ago.

and of course toyota didnt have any of the parts i needed in stock, and again couldnt get them untill after the holidays so i guess i'll have to borrow the parts off another supra.

and i ordered 3 inch aluminum for charge piping and they sent me 2.5

i cant win haha

the car runs!!! big thanks to Blair, yelloa3gti for coming down and helping today.

hopefully i have enough tubing here to finish the intercooler piping tomorrow. i thought i had a bunch of 3" aluminum bends but i went and looked and its all 2.5 inch stuff.

we took a few pictures along the way, i'll try to post some pictures soon.
