Love the deep dish rims and the colour. Like the rear wiper too. Im not really feeling the hood and the carcks in the front bar, but other than that I like it.
Post some engine pics if you have them. Is that 16psi on steel-wheeled CT12a's? Single? Aftermarket twins?

Well, #1 I got this car for free from a friend, otherwise I wouldnt own a soarer. I used to drift my 180sx. My friend with this soarer tried to drift and wrecked. The car was bone stock at the time. The hood was on it already. I invested about $3,500 total, to include gauges, tires, wheels, performance mods, etc. I have a 500hp car @ 1.5 bar that I drive everyday to work, take my family out in and race, drift or touge every weekend. I get more out of this car than most people get out of cars they invest $20,000+ in.

My rear stock twin is going slowly but surely and I'm only at 10psi. Oh well single FTW.

Well i've been reading around this forum for some time, and it seems to me that greater percentage of the owners on here are only worried about 1 thing. Looks. I would even go so far as to say that I've seen people on here that think the sc300 is better than most cars because it's a lexus. I own 7 cars right now, 4 of which are pre 72 chevy's. I'm all about function over form. The people that tend to be the most nit-picky about a cars appearance have cars that that aren't much at all...

Well that came off a BIT too harsh but since you said it anyways, your SC is currently completely stock with some 19 inch rims that I see on almost every other Supra on Supra forums. You've obviously copied the look from streetking and quikturbo so you have no creative innovation at all when it comes to modifying your car. You always take pictures of the same angles of your car right next to a red Viper because your SC does not look good by itself. Oh...so that's how it feels to take a low blow by a stranger...
But then again, who am I to judge?
Obviously it isn't my taste but this Soarer is nice for what it is and I can totally appreciate it.
Btw, the hood looks like nostrils..anybody else notice that?

Looks good and makes nice numbers too! I do however don't like the home depot scoop (the random tube next to the intercooler) because it takes away from a nice looking car (my eyes go striaght to it). I've seen a lot of 240 guys running it which is probably why you have it.

I have it because my intake is in the corner of my underhood area. I mean pushed up against the body of the car. It has next to no air circulation there. Function over form my friend. Although I appreciate having a show quality car, this is not it. This is a drag/track car. I have other cars for looking good and not going fast.
