I wanted my supra to look different than a factory body that's lowered with aftermarket wheels. There are a lot of supras like that and they look good, I wanted to give it more of a stout look, rather than another supra with engine mods.
Cleaned up the twins and installed the y-pipe.
Apexi muffler
Some pictures of how she sits now.
The up to date engine bay.
The current modifications list is the stainless y-pipe with 3" exhaust and Apexi muffler, AEM fuel pressure regulator, 24x12x3 aluminum intercooler with 2.75" aluminum hard pipes, SSQV and Blitz turbo timer all riding on Intrax lowering springs.
nice build.. not a huge fan of the kit.. but like i said.. the car looks hawt.. esp dem rims.. only thing.. rotors are installed incorrectly..

what?? how can they be wrong, looks good to me. you can have the slots facing whichever direction you desire.
Chuck - Nice car. those rims are sweet. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the do-luck front, but it completes the kit nice.
My new setup so far:
2jz 550's
jdm resistor pack
godspeed radiator with uppper radiator hose
gt45 turbo
tial 44mm gate
AEM AFPR
Apexi Neo

The paint looks good. The kit really isn't my cup of tea, but it looks like a quality job. Those wheels are pretty sweet.
JDM resistor pack?
That GT45 :aigo: will be nowhere near its potential with 550's and a piggyback. Unless you have some lofty goals and plan to spend some serious cash to bring the rest of the system up par with that turbo, might I suggest that you sell/trade it for something a bit better matched to your goals. Unless of course you really really like turbo lag.
Don't forget to upgrade your fuel pump.

fuel pump and clutch are next in line. The resistor pack I ordered is straight outta Japan off of a Soarer. I had plans for a greddy EMU but thats up for next summer!
The setup will be fine. The turbo is going to have a natural lag being on a 2.5l engine. The EMU will greatly reduce that issue :naughty:

The paint looks good but not a fan of the body kit. I'm curious about that 70/71 Pontiac on the rack in those early pictures. Who's is that?
