I'm glad that worked out. She put more effort into this than I did, haha.

And you hit the nail on the head with the lazy thing. The engine doesn't seem to work at all to get it moving at normal day to day speeds.

Exactly what I'm aiming for with my car just effortless performance :)

You guys are kinda inspiring me to get my SS up and running again... Love the drivetrain, hate the car. They are fairly quiet with stock-ish exhaust, but run one open header and it'll rattle your mullet right off!

Ryan, I would suggest tracing the electrical circuit on your headlights. It sounds to my inexperienced mind that you may have a bad ground somewhere...

When I get more time at work I'm going to trace the whole thing and test the motors. The circuit is just a temporary fix to get me by for now.

This is the first LS1 MKIII I've seen turboed, nice job

Thanks. Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

I've actually decided to sell it. A while back I wanted a G8 GT and eventually got over it. Well I want one again, and I actually already went out and got one, so the Supra will have to go.

Why not the GXP..?:D

Money and I've grown lazy. The past 10 years all my cars have been manual trans. cars. The Supra was the first that wasn't in a long time and I rather enjoy it.

G8 GT + intake + tune = 12.9/13.0 anyhow. That's plenty for a RWD daily driver.

G8 is in my possession (sort of). I drove it from Ohio to work and from work to Livernois Motorsports, haha. it's sitting there still without a license plate which I probably won't have until next week I'm guessing.

So, someone feel free to pick up the Supra from me..:)

Heh, wish this had been for sale when I bought my car... Enjoy that Holden in disguise. ;)
