Good advice. I've lined up the Maft Pro for the spring and the best tuner in the region. I'm shooting for 370whp at 18psi on the 50 trim CT26. After talking with Aaron at DM, I might very well upgrade to a 57 trim to jump the final leg to 400whp on lower psi and a conservative tune in 2012.

Just curious. Who is the best tuner in the region? I've live in NH too and Don't know of any outside of MA and CT. BTW, Your wheels look great. If you ever want to sell them, then keep me in mind lol.

Very nice car, its very clean! I love the fact that your wheel cover matches the interior, I have hardly ever seen a matching wheel cover.

This was not by mistake, and thanks!

Next to a guy that will remain nameless, the guy I'm going to Alex is probably the best available one in NH. Look up his info under the Northeast Supra section, under New Hampshire. He left his contact info in there. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?98928-VERMONT-NEW-HAMPSHIRE-Supras/page4

As far as the wheels go, they will be for sale a year from this winter when she gets a fresh coat of paint. I'll look you up then if you're interested.

so do you drive her in the winter? worry about rust?


Reading>me... Summer daily. Anyway, worry about rust?

I won't ever drive my Supra in the winter. They are notorious for a slew of rust issues in wheel wells, front mud guards, hatch, and spare tire area. If anyone drives theirs in the winter, get undercoating regularly, and car washes weekly I would think.

I just got a white turbo supra, the odometer says 115k. Your ride looks awesome man, I definitely will be taking some things from your build. That AEM truboost gauge looks awesome. I would also like an A/F mix gauge where yours is. Awesome ride though man kudos.

Hey. I'm glad my supra has peaked your interest. As for the a/f gauge mini project...a dremol (spelling) tool this would have been a lot easier. It was a lot of cutting and drilling..kinda of a pain.

your car looks good man, Im the guy that talked to you at the fast five Imax show.

Thanks. Yours will probably look better when it's done. Make sure you do a build thread that does it justice. I kinda skimped on this thread haha.

I see youre interested in a body kit that keeps the stock look. Have a look at my album in my profile. I used a GReddy front, Bomex side skirts and rear add ons. All replicas so not too crazy on a budget. I got them from Shine Auto here and I love it. I have people all the time asking me if Im gonna put a body kit on it and I just tell them I have one already. LOL.

Your body kit is very close to what I'm looking for. Do you have a direct shot of the front? I'm not sold on the bumper...I like the look of the stock 89+ grill. But if it shows of the IC nicely, I might consider it. How much was it. If you need to PM me no biggie. Thanks man.

Updates for 2012. So I lost compression in #1 and was undecided around whether to swap or build. Because I had thousands of dollars invested in supporting mods for the 7m, I decided to stick with it. My goal is still to have a low to mid 400rwhp daily driver. I'm feeling pretty confident with this build.

I was short on time, so I had a buddy at a local performance shop help me do the build over the winter. Here is what happened in story board form:
