As many of you know I had quite a lot of goodies including the entire regulus kit, a 1jz, volk te37 time attacks.... and a lot more. I had spent almost 30K and didn't even have a running car. No expense was spared when it came to a part I want. I had planned everything I wanted to do the car a lot faster then I could keep up with it. So basically, I spent easily over 2 years pouring money into a car that wouldn't be finished for years, much less drivable. A few mistakes and I've ended up pretty much back where I started, with almost nothing. I'm the kind of person who always has his head in the clouds, but this time around I'm going to try and be a little more down to earth. I think of this as a fresh start, I have another Supra now, and another great chance.
The Goals
-Restore everything wrong with the car. Replace Gaskets, Hoses, ect ect.
-Make it reliable, MHG + ARP's done right, rebuild when I plan for more power.
-The ever so classic LEX AFM/550/57trim CT-26.
-400rwhp+
-Bigger Sperico IC.
-11-12 second Quarters on just an upgraded CT.
-Drag wheels w/ slicks.
-Prosport Guages.
-LED Blue Gauge Cluster + Climate Control.
-Minor Body Mods + Paint. I'm talking a couple Shineauto parts. I'll be in autobody class in Aug or Sept, so painting won't be a problem.
-Replace moldings.
-Stay Pre-89.
-No Stripping. Staying full weight this time.
-And Ultimately beat the piss out of my best friends GT35/40R powered FC ( 13B-RE ) in the quarter. I plan on using the drag section / advice like a bible, as well as practicing when ever I can.
What I have left
- CarbonFiberFX 2" Cowl Fiberglass Hood ( 13lbs~ ). One of less then 5 known.
On Grant's old parted out car:
-Rebuilt Calipers. Painted black with VHT high temp Caliper paint.
-Potorfield Carbon Kevlar Brake Pads + Portorfield Rotors + Goodridge Brake Lines.
-becauseican anti-sway bar adjustable end links.
-becauseican solid rear subframe bushings.
