(1) Put suspension on your list.
(2) Don't be scared to go with a thicker metal head gasket and run the boost deep into the teens, especially if you are looking to get an AEM. It will allow you to run more boost safely while making more power at the same time.
(3) I strongly suggest a Torsen LSD from the MKIV Supra for your slip protection. They are the most cost effective and daily-driveable of the LSD's (working on spider gears alone and not clutch plates). It will be more than sufficient for your goals. They are floating around Supraforums and the Club Lexus classifieds frequently.
(4) I can't say I am digging the style of the car, but if I had a car that looked like that, I would want it to be low (via coilovers or drop springs) and super fast. Personally, I would like your car much more if you were running 400whp through a T67.

Is your trunk shut all the way?? It looks like it's bulging up on the passenger side....
Once you get it painted and slammed, it will look a lot better...great start though
Oh yeah, 4 subs is gangsta!!! Must be boomin' like a *****!

Hey, I just read that you are from Southeast Texas as well. Where are you located? I am in Port Arthur and I just recently picked up a 95 SC300 5 speed. You have a good starting point on the things that you want to do. It should look sweet once it is all said and done. Hit me up if you would like to meet up sometimes.

Yeah my trunk "Latches" but it doesn't close all the way. I still have to work on that. For some reason being a carbon fiber trunk... it's light and it doesn't have that much wieght to keep the spring of the bar that connects the trunk and to the body flush...I have to some how either drill another hole in the middle to put pressure on that peice itself. I have tried putting washer and stuff to make it real tight and snug...but it doesn't help as much. It's what I have now...but before you could really tell that it wasn't flush. Any one in the Body department any tricks ? The hood fit perfectly the first time.

You trunk struts are still good I'm assuming. Trade with somebody here who has blown ones and that should help keep your trunk lid from arching....

Hahaha...yeah...like on my hood...I took the struts off the front...because when I had it, it was archin bad. So I keep a baseball bat for security and to prop it up hehehe....well I was kinda looking for a solution that I wouldn'[t have to buy/trade anything...something that I can do...can't you tell I'm a DIY kind of person?
