thanks...

Not really...I may run it down the 1/4 for the hell of it, but I think I'll try going sideways in it mostly for a bit.

So what is the ETA on this project? When can we expect pics of a new powerplant in there and some numbers?!?! Sweet ride, I love the white/pearl SC's.

Looks Good! How well do the Supra seats bolster you in? I cant decide if I want supra seats or Sparcos.

I sat in them and its a world of difference. Takes the car from a luxury feel to a sport feel.

ETA is ASAFP of course...

White pearl, feels like the old days with my first turbo, 87 supra.

The ss brake lines got here Monday, Brembo rotors came in last week, as well as pads and new hardware. The calipers are now cleaned up for painting. So hopefully I can paint and bakethe calipers in time to put them on the car this weekend. I'll take some nice pics of that as I get them on the car also.

Then I suppose building the exhaust migh be next and getting the rest of the turbo setup sorted out while doing body mods in between.

Just like most of us I do as much as I can with the dollars and parts available at the time, not to mention messing with it in between all the other cars that need to be done.

Fitting the motor up w/ the Blitz manifold on it is already showing me a stumbling block. Looks like I'll need to modify the mani a little. I have all the stock and piping around to build the new turbo mani so maybe I'll be doing that earlier than expected.

beefy... I love the way they build these brakes. Very similar to the way Benz brakes are done, plus supercar stopping distances from some very low cost parts.

If you dont mind me asking, what body mods are you going with (what kind of front bumper or front lip, side skirts etc. ) and also could you describe what you mean by carbon fiber rear diffuser? what should it look like?
