mcpcola: if you were talking to me... Thanks!!
I bought it as a bone stock '88, and although I have not yet touched the engine, I've done a lot of changes in the past few months (bought it about 4-5 months ago).
KYB GR-2 shocks.
Eibach Pro Kit springs.
18x9.5 rear 18x8.5 front Made in Japan rims (honestly, don't know the brand! Bought them used for a good price, they seem to have never been repaired, and after the paint/polish, they look kickass).
91 GA70 front bumper.
Euro yellow fog lights.
Clear turn signals.
Hella Housing H4 conversion with 80/100W Optilux bulbs.
Bride Steering wheel (looks good for $15 bucks), with Momo Hub adapter (at least I can fit any of the "good" aftermarket wheels whenever I want).
New e-brake handle and new e-brake boot.
The Pioner MP3 player was also my choice.
The 89-92 climate control was also me.
The JDM 89-92 tails too (first mod I did actually!)
89-92 JDM mouldings (no rear side-markers).
2.5" custom exhaust with crappy muffler (I should change it, because I don't like how it vibrates inside the car).
I guess that's about it. Besides some maintenance stuff like the hood struts and other crap. Damn, makes me sad to think I've already spent so much, and the car is still pretty slow, heh. I'll go manual tranny AND a few BPU's to at least like my car! A Nissan Altima 2.5 crapped all over me the other day

yeah lifesnotfair, your car is beautiful good job on it.
And yeah im glad to see more people planning on going NA-T. People seem to doubt the capabilities of the NA motor on boost, but I think it deserves way more credit than it recieves. Maybe I can help change the mindset on that. If you ever need any help with your setup let me know. Im always glad to help

1TuffSupra: How do you know so uch about the NA-T? In your signature it says you're doing a motor swap
I'm changing my mind on a DAILY basis, this is funny, it even makes ME laugh. Today, I want a 1JZ in my car. Yesterday I wanted to only swap trannies and stay N/A. Tomorrow I'll probably want a 7M-GTE. The day after, I will probably want a 1UZ-FE. Then, I will maybe want a 7M-GE-T .. and the cycle keeps repeating. LOL.
Actually, to be honest, I haven't even considered the NA-T setup. I haven't read it very carefuly, but I saw the parts list was long, so I said to myself "maybe it's even cheaper to just get a 7M-GTE" ... heh.

Yes I am in the process of doing a motor swap, but it is from a 7mge to a 7mge-t. You should check my other thread out about my little project. Im using turbo components on my new GE block. I figured since im in the process of it and ive done quite a bit of homework on the subject I should be able to help out

And astigracing, your car is quite nice as well. I cant wait until Im finished turboing my motor and drop it in. Im def putting h&r springs on and some 18s. the h&r's are hands down the superior spring when it comes to the amt they drop the car, imo.
I like your adjustable lip.
does it really chamge the amount of downforce in the front?
or are the actuators merely for show?

thanks!
the rods are fully adjustable. i never got a chance to try the top speed...no rear spoiler
well, I'm planning one of those on my new wangan/cannonball project, and I always enjoy seeing those on cars.
Wussup John. Stop drawing attention by pretending like you're trying to break into a nice N/A. That's what you looked like you were doing in the first pic of the 90 N/A. BTW, you got a nice Gun Metal Supra, nice new house, and a family. You're blinging brother!:bling:astigracing said:
