very nice man...good luck with that...i say go with the black with the chrome wheels but no chrome strip down the side

I appreciate the offer, really do. Thanks. I would have to see how handy you are. I'm done taking the car apart. I'm just waiting on my spoiler to send it to the paint shop. Once the car is painted, I have to be EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA carefull putting everything back on because I'm a neat freak and if I see a scratch the size of a hair, it has to be painted again, and if you were the one who scrathed it...you're dead. LOL..no seriously...LOL, no I'm serious!!!!


I sure hope so...so much work, even though I'm outsourcing some of it.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. It is going with the chrome stripe though. That is mainly the theme of this car. I do like it without and I'm not concerned. It is by FAR a permanent mod. Very easy to removed if I ever wanted to. So for now is going in.

I like the most recent "render."

That'll look SICK!!

Update:

Got my bomex front lips to go with my brand new OEM bumper. Actually got both Bomex lips Spec B-2 hole and the Spec B-3 hole because I love them both and in case I want to change them, then I can just spend 15 min and done. So I got both. I'll post pics tomorrow. I have them in my camera at home. Right now, I'm just waiting on my spoiler. As soon as I get that, the car is going in for paint - I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...And I know I know I know I know I know....J/K.


Almost there...I gotta cleanup some. I don't think I've ever seen my work bench this messy.

Sourced some guy in TN with the Kinesis K58 I want, but they aren't the K58R, so I'm not sure if I'll go thru with the purchase. New they are $1268.ea for polished, $1044.ea for silver. Another negative about this guy's wheels is they are 18 X 9.5 front (OK with this) but the rears are 18 x 11 (10 is the most I can go without rolling my fenders or installing flares, which I do not want to install flares on this car) I think I might go with the Kinesis polished wheels, but I would like the K58R. We'll see. That's it for now, I'll keep you posted. Once the car comes back, I'll get the suspension sub-frame powder coated, brand new suspension parts, and whatever else comes along with it.

Thanks again for the comments. Keep 'em coming!!!!

^^^
one suggestion - with a project like this, my advice is to continue searching if you don't find the exact part you're looking for right away. You will kill yourself if you settle for something out of impatience. Stick with the K58R since that was the original plan and maintain your goal of 18x10 in the rear with no flares. Better to wait a bit longer and get the desired effect in the end than cut corners and wind up regretting your decisions. good luck

^^^ That's very much what I was thinking. There is a big difference betweent the two if you look closely. Thanks for the advice.


EDIT: I just looked at your photo gallery, Pretty nice car man. Let me know if you're ever around my area so we can go for a ride.

Thanks for all the comments guys Here's an Update - I got the rear spoiler a few days ago. Also got the lip from Shine Auto Project (thanks guys). Also got done a few finishing touches done on the car.

Took the car in for paint yesterday. Spent like an hour talking to the guy about what I wanted done and how. There are a few things I'm having shaved. Also there's tons of holes that will be covered in the engine bay. I'm very excited to see the results. This guy is really good and I told him how I wanted the paint to look. I think the bill reflects the job. They are taking off the rest of the parts I didn't take off, including the subframes. I'll be getting some parts powder coated in the mean time.


I'll post some picstures later on today or tomorrow as I have to make them smaller in photoshop.

Also, got some hats done. They have the toyota logo with lettering at the bottom that say Supraholics.com, which will be my website. I've had the domain for over two years now and I'm still not done with the website. lol. I'll post some pics later.

As promised, here are the pics:

I didn't take a picture of the spoiler, but is just a stock spoiler.

Getting the trailer ready. Can't wait for the summer also so I can get the trailer painted as well.

The car is so light now, it only took one man to load it on the trailer!!!


Car at the shop.

I decided to get a new OEM nose because the one on the car wasn't lining up perfectly. So, $373 +tax after and that's on the way. My friend calls me crazy because I spent more on OEM parts for the front then a whole body kit is worth. Oh well, I want this car to be stock looking but ultra clean.

For those of you who are not familiar with the car, below is a picture of the part I'm talking about. Is circled in red. The box inside the car is the new OEM front bumper.

Holy ish. You're rebuilding this car....I like it!

Sweet man... Can't wait to see this thing in person ;)

Man I want my car fixed soon!

Keep it up

Josh

Yeah, I want the car to look like it just came out of the factory...but better!!!:lol:



You'll never see it in person....





J/K - I'll be around :lol:

funny, i just saw a thread on sf.com of people's trailers...then i'm on this thread and see the same trailer/4runner combo. car's looking good, but what is the reasoning behind TT'ing the 7m? and where are you located

Sweet ass build up..You got any spare leftover parts??I need a bunch of stuff for my mk3..

pete besides the tranny wat else do you need?

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Yes, I still have quite a bit. I used to have about two entire supras in my garage, but I threw away most of the big parts (Seats, panels, etc) I also sold tons of stuff on Ebay. What do you need??

Yes, that's me also on sf. lol.

About "Double Boosting" (I like how that sounds) the 7M, is primarely for response and unique-ness. I'm only looking to get about 500 WHP on boost alone, but I really want great great response, and not only while boosting, but all throughout the graph.

TTing the 7M effectively is complicated and costly. Most people would go against it because there isn't enough R&D. (I would probably go through a few set of turbos and header designs before I can find the perfect match for me. Doing the math alone is not enough sometimes.) That's why is so unique. There are currently only two Known 7MGTTE in the world, not including mine. There's one in greece and two here in the US including mine, which is not complete.


EDIT: Sorry, missed this - I'm located in the Lehigh Valley, Salisbury in PA.

Are you going with two different sized turbos and running sequential??If not I doubt there will be any more response to be had over a nicley setup twin scroll setup, but it will be one of a kind..
Props for sticking with the 7m btw, alot of people think they are far inferior to the 1jz but I would rather have a 7m..2jz different story:)
BTW I grew up in allentown and I know salsbury pretty well, the salsbury cops used to chase me all the time on my dirt bikes..:mrgreen:

looks like a nice buildup. I like how your keeping the outward appearance stock.

I don't know if I missed it, but what are your plans for suspension. You seem to have the engine and body stuff figured out, but what about the most important part of the car.

petey, there is more response from a TT setup then a single, but as I said before, I'm not looking for response only under boost, I also want a responsive engine on its own. Two different size turbos would be ALOT of work... They will be true twins, not seq.

About the motors...ummm, they are all unique in their own ways. I personally also prefer the 7M over a 1JZ just because of the torque line, but I love all three of them with their unique qualities. For this setup, I'm going with a 7M mainly because its the original motor and swaps are for cars with weak motors or for show, this is not a weak motor. If you disagree, just go here: :mrgreen:

About the 2JZ, I think once you open them up, all bets are on the table.
The 2J IS my favorite motor though. :wink:




Thanks, I like cars to look clean.




wow, someone noticing small details!!! :lol:
