any updates ?

Thank you for asking. I placed the car on hold for a short period of time, but its time to get started again to get the car done for May 5th's Toyota Fest. Here is a laundry list:

Install
New fuel pump system
Vvti head
Single turbo

Re-tune aem

New exterior setup

I will post progress with pics! Stay tuned!

The bottom end is stock right? So just stock GTE bottom on a VVTI head? What are you tuning with?

V1. I will leave the details to tuner. I'll share details as I learn more.

I actually posted the details earlier today...but I figured I will keep the lid on the box of chocolates for now.

Thanks! ..but i think its time to change it up. My car has had the same look for 3 years.

Anyone want to buy my Volk Racing GTS wheels?

Are you referring to your Black 19" Volk Racing GTS wheels? Shoot me a PM Rodel I am curious to what your asking for them.

awwwwww my heart jumped when I saw volk GT-S for sale... but then I saw that they're 19in..... my heart is set on 18x10 all around GT-S in RMC ohhhhhh *droooolllllll

btw where dem new pics at???

 

[rodel]

I am not quite ready to sell at this time, unless I am able to get my asking price or very close to it. After my next round of mods, it will be even harder to sell since the price willl go up. LOL.

I'm glad your keeping her

I'm glad your keeping her

I think I'm stuck with it. LOL.



March 1, 2012 is the scheduled start of the project: Toyota Fest 2012. Stay tuned!

I haven't done anything to the Supra since 2010, but I recently replaced my Optima Red top with a PC680 to free up some space in the engine bay.

Nobody will pay for our Supras in the time we put into it. I havent done fuel, paint, suspension or wheels yet and I am at 18.5K. I have receipts for everything and trust me, I look a million places to find the cheapest prices on parts without getting rid of quality except the DM turbo but that is going to be changed out to a Precision 6262. All those funds include a 1JZ rebuilt and the car's price, which was 2K, so 16.5K in parts

We spend the money, but what about labor, nobody wants to pay for that and you and I well know, once you past that limit on the funds you spend on your car, nobody will pay the price and it makes no sense to remove parts to lower the price.


Keep at it Rodel, your car is a beauty.

^ Makes me not want to think how much i could get out of my 2jz mk3 if i were to sell it :/

True...we won't ever get back the money that we put into it. After a certain amount of time/effort put into our cars, the car becomes priceless.

Speaking of money, I just ordered a Bosche 044 fuel pump from Amazon. (Gotta love Amazon). The upcoming project involves a pair of Bosche 044 fuel pumps.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Think about the priceless "Supra love", not "$$$$upra-expenditure"

 

[IBoughtASupra]

I plan on dual Bosch as well, ID1000 and my own fuel rail. Should be good enough for my power level and room to grow if I want to.

Keep it up!
