So suprra_girl if thats what you do in your spare time, whats your day job?

Is that a typo in your public profile where it says auto?

Lethal: yep it's the 1jz manifold welded onto the 7m lower runners ;)

hacks: nope no typo, i'm auto all the way hehe

so i thought i'd better update to what i've been up to :)

i thought i'd clean up my fan... looks brand new now :D

in the meantime i've just been adding a few bits to the engine like the vacuum line for the power steering, installing the ignitor bracket (even painted it black just for you miagi :-p, would like you to think you had a part of my car haha)
i made a fuse box cover as well... coz my intercooler piping is now going to go in front of the fusebox under the headlight so i had to hide all the wiring just to tidy it up some :)
Battery cables are no longer there, was a temporary power measure hehe

so things are slowly coming together :D

i've got a friend to alter my 1uz tb to suit a 7m tps so i can just bolt it on and have extended the isc and tps wiring to suit their new locations

Finally got a set of 6 rx7 high impedance 550cc injectors, cleaned and flowtested and they've come out awesome

Bought and installed a HKS PFC Fcon with 550 chip & 1st gen gcc

Buying the Aeromotive fpr fuel line kit from Jeff, cost effective and time effective hehe

Found an oil cooler to replace the stock one (twice the size hehe)

Using a 1jz power steering cooler, i'm sure they'll be more efficient than the stocker

Next up is to finish the intake/throttlebody and intercooler piping :D

I see a 12 second pass in your near future, wait theres more. HIGH 11's, I think so :) Looking good!

hehe dunno bout a high 11 LOL

i'm aiming for a 12, any 12 hehe :) then its body mod time ;)

Sick Ride...Only Hope my Rebuilding of my MK4 goes as well....lol hopefully takes less then a few months...haah...like to drive it befor frist snow fall...lol

Very nice work so far :) I give it 2 thumbs up. I wish there was some nice mk3s around here. Or any nice cars for that matter. Ive never seen any modified car around here aside from 5.0 mustangs and old american cars, Which are still cool anyway. But not enough :(

Wow!!!
 

You are my insperation, honestly. I looked at your car one of the first days that I joined the forum, looked at the pics...then set in my mind to build my supra with some of the stuff I saw on your car, I LOVE that custom manifold.

Now, since I want to do some of the stuff you did....WHERE DID YOU START??? You know I look at my car, and I just stop thinking about it...there are so many choices, so many things that I want to get done, and I just don\'t know.

I have to fix my body first, its.....a little rusted, mostly on the doors, around the area that the trim anchors would be...there are about 3 inch rust spots at each anchor point...along with wheel well rust through, and undercarrage rust...not through though.

Then I would like to get a new set of rims, although I COULD do that WHILE the body is getting repaired.

Is upgrading the stock turbo good enough, I would like to max my HP out at 580rwhp, but still able to turn up the boost, and make 650RWHP if possible.

So could you lend me some advice?
