My turn:

Picking her up from Pembrooke Pines, FL (June 2007):


Back at home in Maryland (July 2007):


19" Ruff Racing Wheels, 5Zigen Mega Catback, and Tein Coilovers, USDM 2JZ-GTE Swap at BPU+, 6spd, TT Brakes F/R, and 6spd Diff.

Better Pix.


Decided that I wanted to go bigger and badder! Sold the Wheels, exhaust and started taking her apart!


Started taking out the USDM 2JZ-GTE:


Engine is out and sold to cherplex:




Started getting her back together, with a Justice Race Engines built short block and a Pro Port head with GSC Stage 2 Cams. BL Turbo Kit with a PTE 78GTS-DBB Turbo. Re-did all off the wiring, prior was junk/hackjob.


Added some bling during the process:


Still working on her:

Almost done!


Done!


How she looks now! 18" Fikse Wheels with BFG Rubber, Tein SS with EDFC (Added), AEM EMS, Custom 3" Mandrel Bent Dual Exhaust with Magnaflow Race Muffers. F/R Fenders rolled to acommodate thicker rubber! Eclipse DD headunit with NAV, DVD, Sirius with Boston Acoustic Speakers, Supra TT Trd Sway Bars, Carbonetics Triple Disc Clutch. Funny thing is all the work was done in my garage at home!





The money shot!


Awaiting install: Big-Win Front lip, Origin Roof Spoiler and TRD LSD.

Thanks, i've still got about 300 more miles to go for the clutch break in, but she should make 700rwhp on pump gas on low boost. And easily 1000rwhp on Q16 and 35lbs of boost.

Okay my turn, This was my car originally....


With some time,love and money invested in it, it got turned into this...

(The changes done to my car are way "too subtle" to be noticed by the untrained eye, look carefully and you could easily spot the differences...If you can't spot 'em, ask me and I'll fill you guys in).

wheels and tires, tint, wind reflectors for the front windows and sunroof, chrome window surround painted black, and perhaps new headlights?

Great job! But I didn't paint the window surround and you didn't catch the following added items...

1) '92-'96 OEM Toyota rear trunk spoiler
2) JDM OEM Toyota sidemarkers
3) Brand new OEM '95-'96 foglights
4) JDM Soarer griffon emblem


Great effort though.

That's because the rear wheels are 18x9.5 (with a +25 offset) wrapped with 265/35/18 Hankook RS2 tires.
