Here's how my wheel wells are filling out!:









ARP is installed on the front, rear coming soon, along w/Daizen steering rack bushing kit.
Slowly but surely everything is coming together!!!

you mentioned earlier that your brake setup came off a mk4 supra. if you want to keep the same brake bias as it should have then get the supra TT master cylinder. the sc one is not the same.

did you get a chance to measure the piston sizes on the front and rear calipers? im curious

Nice setup! I love the black and red combo. Maybe you should get some red Rays lugnuts.

They are straight off the Twins Turbo shop/race car.
They are now sponsored by Brembo so I recieved a pretty good deal.
Maybe contact StopTech about info regarding piston sizes, I didn't measure.
If I run into any stopping issues I will switch to the TT MC. Thanks for looking out!

I am using are the black Rays Engineering extended closed-end duraluminum lugnuts.
(Trying to be subtle. )

1. Murder She Wrote...THAT IS AWESOME SOARER AZ.
2. UZZ-TT...I say it all the time but I'll say it again...You are building my dream SC in front of my eyes!!! Knock it off!!
3. Since your ride is all top secret and whatnot I have a question. I'm also running 19s (even though I couldn't afford my dream wheels...THAT YOU HAVE) and I'm about to start a thread on what suspension setup to use for us 19" guys. Whats your suspension setup?



...lemme guess...NASA built it.

Man I missed my own thread I've been so busy lately w/Military stuffs!!!- The suspension is Tanabe Sustec Pro-5's with Tanabe Electric Active suspension(TEAS) on top. It's like the Tien EDFC however it will adjust dampening on the fly, and you can program it for different conditions. The traction rods and toe rods are BattleVersion.


Quick Reply: **Volks, StopTech, BattleVersion, Daizen, Tanabe w/TEAS, Brembo lines, ARP soon**
