i have the manifold, a greddy intercooler, air filter and piping, ill be going with a top feed rail and injectors so thats next on the list. taking my time buying parts because im in no rush, i dont have a garage so i have to wait untill the weathers better lol.

i have bought other bits like powersteering cooler relocation kit and polished overflow tank, odyssey battery for the boot, and paint ect... so i can do the enginebay and wire tuck at the same time and the valve stem seals.

at the moment i will need it mapping for the auto box so i can only have it set to what the box can safely handle.

i still cant make my mind up if i want to go manual or stay auto. i can either go for a built auto box or buy the 6 speed or r154 ..not too sure what to do i think its best having a ride in a 6 speed. ive never been in one but ive heard bad things about them and been advised by a few to stay auto and get a built box.

There bloody good boxes mate, it's just personal preference really, all the boxes for the supra are good tbh, you cant beat the feeling of the 6 speed tbh, makes a lovely clunk noise every time you change gear, but the auto box is also really good and makes the car so easy to drive, I would say try and find someone who wouldn't mind letting you drive about in there 6 speed so you can see what it's like for yourself.

 

and cheers T14PPA, shall give you a text later mate :thumbs:
