I was excited when you mentioned track day. "Great! Another MKIII back where it belongs, a road course!" But then I saw drifting =[

Pictures show some very clean work on the car! Keep it up and enjoy doing what you love!

Well you get more CR for disabling abs in real life too, lol. but yah in drifting you do not want abs, it makes bad things happen, and w/o abs pedal feels better and makes you become a better driver.

It doesn't chatter around corners due to being locked using just gear oil?

the car is pretty loud so i cant hear anything. and its only a track car so i wouldnt care. but i have heard many different opinions on what to use in the diff and this was the cheapest solution so i tried this first, and i cant hear any chatter and works well so far.

U Jelly??? Battle Version Camber, Toe, and Traction Arms. These are the prototype Toe arms that are now going to be released by end of January. That is why they are not powdercoated yet, and they are beefy as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome product!!!!!!!!! This was a very easy company/guy to get ahold of and talk to. Would recomend to everyone A++ expierience. parts were at my door in three days. They are in California and I am in Florida.

How much did you pay for the full set of arms?
And- are you working on this car in an abandoned construction site or something?

I paid less than $600 shipped. he gave me a somewhat better price since the toe arms where prototypes and they were not powdercoated yet. Call him up and see what he can do.

And this is in the garage of the house we are currently building.

This is some what how I envisioned my supra when I first got it.......somewhat. It has been a lot of time, blood, sweat, and way to much money. It is obviously missing some stuff like trim pieces, some good body work, and boost of course, but the suspension is and drivetrain is really what I was looking to do to make it a better handling car as of now. Now i am going to focus on becoming a better driver and get a feel for the car to see what it needs. Here are some pics for those that are interested. Shes come a long way.

I hope it reaches at least the minimum requirement for a decent MK3.
