He went by:
TonyRR
TONY!
Tony Mawad
And is an awesome dude as you said, with a supreme attention to detail for sure!

:Tony The Tiger impression: That's GRRRRRrrrrrreat! [/TTT impression]
LMAO Shaeff! yes, I forgot about the TonyRR alias... have you spoken to him recently?
It would be about this time of year that I would pop on AIM and get a message from him wishing merry christmas/happy new year regardless of how long it's been since we talked.
I'm not selling the car, but it is for sale
Gotta come visit first. Upstate NY Roadtrip is in the plans with a buddy of mine that owns a Forester XT. I'll keep you posted :bigthumb:

I haven't spoken with him in quite a while, sadly. I did find my mapquest directions to his house in the glove box of my Pickup yesterday though. The date on the bottom was sometime in 2006! Yikes! (My car hasn't run in WAY too long!
)Sounds good dude, let me know for sure! If it's warm out, I'll have the M3 out of storage!

Thanks for clearing that up. Not sure why I haven't been seeing the updates on this thread tho.
supra90turbo;1476420 said:BTW: Your car looks strange with a red front bumper on it.. I'm used to the black
It now has red mud flaps too. I just can't get the damn thing to start, so I can get it out for another picture with them on. I don't like my sig picture so much anymore. The goal is to make the whole car one color.
Whoops, haven't been getting notifications on this post... wonder why, I never opted to! D'oh!
uh, in order:
Loki: Good to see you're still browsing, and, strangely enough, I miss the prank calls late at night from you when you guys are all drunk. hahaha
shaeff: We should track Tony down! It's on. I will certainly be in touch once this thing has plates on it! We can have a mini-meet.
Racer48: I'm only planning to do minor upgrades to the car. I have a slightly larger PTE Intercooler that I plan to plumb in with some 2.5" Hard Pipes as the stock couplers are all split in some way and also use my HKS 3000 pipe.
It already has an upgraded turbo (57 trim) and I just got a Lex AFM, so I may do Lex/550's and SAFC, but I'm really looking for a MAFTPro to simplify things a bit.
The goal for this car is street friendly and mildly modded. I'm not going for crazy HP, fact is, I've been driving a 94 Legacy for the past 5 years so the Supra in stock form was enough to make me giddy.
If I had to put a number on it, 350whp is a *goal* that I can set without trying to go too far into it.
ForcedTorque: Updates? It's too damn cold here! I repainted my windshield cowl satin black Saturday! That's about it... lol
Gonzy: Yea I like it but it's too low. Anyone you know want to buy it?
RPSil13: Thanks! I'll grab some more pics next time I go to the garage. I planned to drop the bilsteins down another .5" and take some pics then anyhow!

Update.
Did a few things, got some rubbing compound for the car, 3E5 sucks. Tried to get rid of the pink on the hatch, mirrors, and targa.
Long story short, it's no good. Needs to be repainted. I have a buddy that says he can bring it back with his buffer, so I'll let him try, not like it can get much worse. lol
Also, today, I began work on the intercooler install.
A few years ago I bought a PTE "medium" IC.
I measured it all up, but now I distinctly remember throwing it away as I was talking to my girlfriend...
So, the measurements from the website are 31 1/2" L x 8" H x 3 1/2" D 2 3/4" inlet/outlet
They use Garrett cores, and have cast endtanks. Very nice quality.
This particular one is rated for 600hp. The pictures make it look small, but thats what I like about this IC. It's not massive, but it'll certainly get the job done as my goals for this car is somewhere in the 350-400rwhp range using the 57 trim CT.
Onward...
I apologize in advance for the poor quality pictures, taken with my LG Vu, and it's only a 2.0mp... I never have the camera when I actually do something... lol
Bumper off, IC mocked up
Bumper on, IC will tilt back like stock, and fit perfectly.
RPSil13: I haven't forgotten about you, still have to get the real camera there. If I try my phone in the garage it comes out like crap and you can't see any detail.
Soon though.

Here's some more pics of the rear fenders, as requested by RPSil13:

Well, I didn't like the fact that the wheels had the same size tires, despite the fact that they are 9" and 10".
The 265's had a nice square profile on the front wheels, while they had a bit of stretch on the rears.
I began looking for some 285's a while ago and finally came up with some locally!
Michelin Pilot Sport 285/35r18. The seller told me they were 80-85% new. When I picked them up, he still said the same thing even though one was brand new and still had the sticker on it. The other one is maybe, MAYBE 90% if not 95%, these are brand new.
I paid $150 for the pair
Thats all for now.

The lack of interest concerns and saddens me.I lowered the rear another .5" today. No pics yet.
