I didn't think they were quite that much ....this is a recent online quote from Curt at Elmhurst Toyota for what I thought was a complete brand new V160:

Thats the tranny itself, I am talking about everything needed for the swap from Elmhurst toyota, but maybe I got it backwards.

Nick 95 6sp · 12-02-2007, 10:11 PM

^ you're about right on the cost of swapping a 6sp into an auto tranny Supra.

Vince@R/TTuning · 12-07-2007, 05:02 PM

Prob gonna stick with the V160 found an adapter plate and clutch kit for a good price(thanx Nick) and then i just gotta source out the trans....and then self contained clutch pedal assy, hydralics and all that good stuff...soon to come

S.Milone · 01-11-2008, 04:17 PM

So incase you were wondering, we didn't forget we have the GS.
We just ordered some parts to do our stick conversion. They are as follows:

This is the Conversion Plate to run a
V160 trans (4th Gen Supra) on the 1UZFE motor.

The two together.

This is the custom clutch. It is a 2 disk unit.

S.Milone · 01-17-2008, 12:33 PM

Well I felt like putting wheels on the Gs because well I was just
tired of watching it roll around on the stock ones. Here you go.

For the wheel fitment guys

jh95zenki · 01-17-2008, 04:38 PM

I like the wheels a lot
but the front end of the car looks a little too low for me

S.Milone · 01-17-2008, 04:50 PM

It isn't on a flat surface so it is sitting alittle funny.

Also it is a race car so being low is a good thing.

BMS · 01-17-2008, 05:18 PM

what type of suspension are you running and what other goodies did it come with. Any idea of what racing your are planning on, that car is really cool can't wait to see on track somewhere. If you want we are testing at Miami Homestead and Sebring. sometime in between February and March with Chin Motorsports you should come and see what it can do.

It has Pro Trac Remote reservoir shocks (now JRZ) with coilover springs, custom arms bunch of goodies like that...It used to be a grand am cup car. but probaly doin a buch of different stuff this year (time attack, demo drifting stuff, and other types of road course racing) to feel the car out. I would love to head down to florida to do some testing but it is too much to shut the shop down for that long just to test the car....but im sure we will cross path at watkins, summit point, or VIR this summer

03.5MSP · 01-17-2008, 07:50 PM

If you guys know ahead of time that you will be testing the car, let us know. I'm pretty sure a bunch of us would love to come out and watch.

S.Milone · 01-17-2008, 07:57 PM

We will keep it in mind and post it up

BMS · 01-17-2008, 08:28 PM

we will be at watkins and And always at VIR, but watch out at summit point, its not good for big cars with horsepower. (unless you a have pro driver than def go.) yeah def tells when you goin up to test somwhere; i wouldn"t mind to see the car in action.

oh yeah if you want Cuz the car is fully prepared to go racing, Performance Racing League which my family runs in; has a V8 category and you race with Viper, Vettes and Panozs,

CarbonIS · 01-17-2008, 08:32 PM

saw this thing tonight it's ill!

james_ls · 01-17-2008, 09:32 PM

I wanna do a shoot of this thing!

Vince@R/TTuning · 01-17-2008, 11:11 PM

^^^plan on doing somthing soon, gotta change up the front end on the white s13, get the lex all sorted out, and finish up the yellow monster then we will be doin a shoot with all of them and the truck and trailer

james_ls · 01-18-2008, 01:26 AM

I'll swing past tomorrow or something and see whats up.

I've gotta get a few details worked out with the Integra and any connections you guys might have too.

BMS · 01-25-2008, 12:57 AM

S.Milone · 01-25-2008, 10:55 AM
