dr_jekyll Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 i have also dyed the carped black and give the interior a good clean. fitted tenebe sustec suspension from my other car fitted alloy monoblock 4 pot brakees on 315mm discs frm the ls400 paited and fitted some avan spit 3s with avon zz3 tyres all round. 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear. the plans from now are ' sell other cars to get moneys to spend on this one. build engine using: tt pistons acl race barings stock ge gaskett denso 550cc injectors my beloved t61 kits stock tt smic this will be run by the oem ecu carrying a greddy puggyback and the fuelling will be provided by a uk spec denso pump running from a tt pump ecu. I will be staying auto and using a David P hybrid box that should happily handle the torque i expect this motor to churn out. i will ad an aditional cooler for headroom. later on ill be fitting the a01b diff when all is said and done this should be a nice sharp drive and good allrounder. ive been through alot of supras over the last 3 years so im finally going to make one to keep that will be all i want and how i want it so im looking forward to this one. hopefully it will be my ride for all the upcoming events of 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
