I think I desperately need a spoiler. I want one of those big aluminum racing ones JK JK JK
Seriously, Im still debating whether I want a 97+ or a pre-97 one.

I think I'm going to put the pre-97 on it soon. Before & after the wheels:

IMO it depends on what style you're going for. If you're gonna get a 97~ conversion done I say the 97~ spoiler suits perfectly, simply because the 97~ model looks a little..." unfinished" without it. However if you went with an aftermarket kit like Vertex the wingless look suits it, making the shape of the car tougher in a sense.

But that's just my rambles at 1.30 on a thursday morning

It's the Tanabe Medalion Touring for JZZ30 Soarer. 5Zigen and Magnaflow don't make anything as high quality as this

http://www.tanabe-usa.com/exhausts/medaliontouring.asp

This full catback dual exhaust was designed for the 1JZ-GTE and has 80mm to twin 60mm piping (Turbo application). It's a prototype that we test fitted on my car, but it's not scheduled for release in the US due to some proximity issues of a flange being close to the rear brake hydraulic line.

Everytime I see your car my mouth just drops. It is so clean! It would look 10x better with a nice dark tint job. When are you going to start doing some performance mods? IMO keep it spoilerless, looks sexy as hell.

Thanks

As for the tint, Im looking foward to getting a metallic type tint but quality tints costs money and the cops are going to make you rip it back down in no time.

As for performace mods, I have been just focusing on the suspension for now. So far, I gave it a big footprint with 245 and 275 tires, Supra TT lower control arms, Daizen steering rack bushings, and the Tein SS coilovers. Supra TT front brakes are going to be installed on Thursday or Friday.

As far as the engine mods go, theres not much you can do to the engine other than going forced induction with na-t or a gte swap. As we all know on here, either of those routes can be cost an exorbitant amount of money. Im only a full-time college student with a finite money supply. Moreover, engine mods can get you in trouble especially in California. The only mods under the hood are NGK Iridium plugs, BFI mod, and an Optima battery. Goin fi remains a dream for now.
