Dam this car and its motor looks like It was put together very nicely. I like the color also. Not all the carbon fiber though. But its your car, do what you please with it.

Thanks. You can't say you don't like the 'Stout' hood and the S2 mirrors? These look great on a mk3 Supra.
I have in mind though,one day to paint the hood...

Thanks for the thumbs up! xaxaxa....
As for the vortex generators I just wanted to add some JDM style, xexe....and
also about 150 lbs of downforce on the rear section of the car during high speeds of + 100 MPH !

How are you liking the 72mm on there?

car is looking great btw

Thanks !
Well, I only boost 15 psi since I went single turbo. The 72mm is doing fine but it needs more boost
to show it's power level. At 15 psi I got full boost at 4500 rpms,and I should be around 420-440 rwhp...
I can't wait to up the boost to 22-24 psi with a new EMS tune on 100 octane pump gas.
I just want to install the parts first,that I am waiting this week.

I ordered :
# HKS Ti 4" inch cat-back (to mate with the 4" DP/MP)
# Stainless steel one piece lightweight performance driveshaft
# 3.9 rear differential gear (now I got a 3.7 rear gear)

i was running 18psi when i had the journal bearing ITS 72mm, it was just starting to wake up at that level

So true...
What hot side did you have on the 72mm? .84 A/R ?
I got a .70 A/R, and I wish I had a bigger one....

Thanks man. The ONLY way to do it right my friend is to take good care of your car and have it as clean as possible!
Then $ plays all the game of tuning...we all know that. And last.. good choise of aftermarket performance parts!
When I see top class tuned mk3s I get soooo excited. And people have great respect for our cars...like all the
other 'exotic' cars! Feels good...you know!

....

For these generators to be effective, then they must be directly in the flow stream. At speeds, the flow stream will begin to separate from the A70's body immediately where those generators are located, thus essentially deeming them ineffective. - I any at all.

How does the four inch catback fit on the MK3? I would buy the muffler and just make the exhaust myself. Make sure you put in a new muffler bearing.

Does anybody know where exactly is the 'peak' of the flow stream on our cars?
RHDJapan instructions.... to be located at the rear of the car's roof.

Don't know yet... I am waiting for the exhaust to come.
When I get it,I'll post pictures.
What do you mean muffler bearing? The HKS Ti has a slip in design..
