Thanks soooo much everyone!!
I'll see if they have higher resolution pics. I usually dont get any or forget to ask. I dont think it'll be a problem tho
- Rims are Axis Milano and Jaz ver1 ( the meshies are a 22 offset ) 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 all on Falkens, of course.
- One of the covers had come off....so I left it off. Needs a new drivers side light anyway
- I've got a few plans for the Supra. I'll keep everyone 'in the loop' this time
I'll keep posting what I have for now...
^^^ I had to bend a LOT of lines to make room for the intercooler piping running up next to the battery. The oil filter has been relocated and mounted under the Drivers side headlight. Its running 2 aux oil pumps. One mounted in the spare tire well and the other is located midway under the car.
Another thing is that it doesnt have cats or mufflers. Its a single exhaust, the other side is part of the intake system.

legendary: Someone stole the TrafficStar rims off of it!! inside job we suspect, or a thief 'who cared'. Kinda ruined the project because you cant find those rims anymore 
Other than that it still looks the same as the pictures I sent ya! Maybe next summer
ConSynX: yeah, the offset wasnt so good. The sad part was that I had other rims at the time but couldnt use them :/
^^^Hella old sckool pic!! first CF hood molds
^^^Building CF hood and sideskirts...messy, messy, messy!!
^^^ Just arrived in Inglewood (SoCal) back in October and had to repair the car on the trailer. I was the only one that fit under there

ACleanSC4: Thanks
^^ Oil return line in the side of the valve cover
^^ Hot side. crazy routing...there isnt that much lag. It took a few different sizing changes to get it 'right'.
sorry its so dirty
^^^ Electronic boost control. Turbo timer is built into the alarm system. The setup also has a small radiator fan mounted under the car thats run by the turbo timer. Looks funny when you see dust flying up from all sides of the car

All the "you are soo hot" or "lookin' good, oh yeah, the car is too!" posts by new members are too funny.
Emerald, as always the car is an inspiration. Keep up the good work
PS-what was going on in Inglewood back in October if ya don't mind me asking? I'm in that area all the time.

mikeloc24 : Thanks 
LOTS of new SC owners. I kinda feel 'new again'
Im almost outta pictures........
Issues: The main issues that I had were being stupid and not running a MBC. Having the controls inside only leads to tampering and trouble. I have NEVER scraped the system and my car is extremely low. The only issue ive had with piping is when a bracket broke and the hot side hit the front drivers tire....ouch!
Its too low for my racing jack so I have to use blocks or remove the front bumper and jack it up from there. The hot pipe runs along the rail and makes it impossible to slide a jack under the drivers side anyway.
Future mods:
Replace the socketless with hard lines.
Build a custom cover to clean up the underside of the car
Regrets:
I shouldve finished up the 5spd swap.
Lil Lexxxy got painted the same way and a new CF hood
^^First ghost flamed paint
Learning how to paint host patterns
^^^ SC300 project car. Not sure what direction I'll go....2jzgte if it stays around
