Ok guys, so my girlfriend issued me some homework that's due by friday. She wants me to make a list of everything I want for my car within a price range (up to $300) Help me out here!!

Year: 1990
Aspiration: Turbo
Roof: Targa
Mods: 550cc injectors, Lexus AFM
Everything else, pretty much stock.
Only things I have for the car already is a boost gauge, shitty narrowband AFR gauge (aka light-show), and a turbo timer.

So far, I'm thinking these could be possibilities:
EBC (GReddy?)
Strut tower bar/s (doesn't Suspension Tech make these?)
Targa brace (weezl)
Eibach Prokit (ebay/summit)
Koni Yellows (ebay/summit)
AEM 6-in-1 wideband AFR UEGO (ebay)
Apex'i Power intake (dunno where to find one...I've looked)

She also wants places where she can buy the stuff, so any of that would be appreciated too :)

Thanks for the help supra family!!

What can I say, having a loving g/f gets you places lol. She was going to buy me a new TV (mine is 23 years old...no joke) but I almost never watch TV unless I'm with her, so it would rarely get used. So she decided to get me parts for what I do use often: my supra :D

Brent, nice car BTW :)

K&N FIPK Ait Intake

these are a bit cheaper on ebay? :)

NGK Spark Plugs (http://www.ngksparkplugs.ca/ part finder > toyota >

also a plug wire set too.

New headlight conversion (ebay?)

Strut Bars (Custco)



A car cover for white rice? That'd be awesome.


Maybe new floor mats...the driver's side one is all worn out.


Car washing stuff so I dont have to use your parents all the time?

Based on your list .. You should have an SAFC-II , and a fuel pump. (walbro or something like it) Based on your price range. the safc is 200.00 used if you can find it and the pump can be 80-100 used I think. So that kills the 300.00 But I think you should think about it. The UEGO is a good idea but without the SAFC there is not much you can do to tune. Will you have any cash to add to the 300.00? If yes the I would get in this order.

I am shure someone is going to ask you. Is this the STOCK head gasket? If yes then think about at least getting the ARP bolts before you turn up the boost.

1. SAFC - 200.00 used (look for it)
2. UEGO - This is close to 300? or more new.
3. FUEL PUMP- 80 - 100? used
4. ARP Headbolts - seen them here used for like 50 - 80?
5. Boost Controller - Electronic = 200 - 300 / Manual - 70.00? or cheaper if you build one.

Good luck! I wish my wife thought about stuff for my supra for xmass! :cry:

yeah I was gonna say SAFCII but someone already said that.
I can promise you a WeezLWing would be obtainable before X-mas. (Although its gonna be a Generation3 bar! ;))

how are you fixed for Tunes? maybe a nice head unit or speakers? Amb/sub?


just a few more ideas:
a set of sway bars
lowering springs
slotted brakes
SS brake line kit
SS turbo lines
BIC DDP
Harness bar/simpson 4pt belts

LOL @ JM :icon_razz I think I'm gonna get the wideband and have her get the SAFCII, so that when I get the SAFCII, I'll be ready to tune away :) I'll be buying myself another (bought one, had to sell cuz I needed the money) walbro and an aeromotive FPR here very soon.

By the way everyone (forgot this one) the motor has a 2mm HKS stopper MHG with arp bolts on it :)

Toby, thanks for the list bro :) I'll pass some of that on!!

Weezl/pete--I think Im gonna have her get pay you for a targa bar :p :) If they're available earlier than xmas, would you be alright with her paying you for one, and then holding it till around that time?

Yeah TTL, you have my personal info, if you want just pass it on to her and we can work something out behind your back...err...I mean...for your present. :naughty:

she may still have some money to spend beyond the brace...but I will work that out with her.

The wideband is a smart choice, then you can squeeze as much out of that lex as you can without melting stuff. Then get a maft pro and eliminate the AFM alltogether, plus you wont need safc, and you can use it for boost control if you buy the solenoid.
