lol, I have a deep appreciation of Supra's, they (esp. MKIV) are really an enigma in the sports car world. I never, ever see them on the road and they tend not to depreciate in value very much which is rare for such a popular tuning car.

The weird thing is, I never see them in racing or AutoX events, or even any drifting videos/pictures that I have watched. They tend to be either dedicated show cars or for drag. Makes me wonder though, they would probably be good at anything if properly outfitted. Although, maybe I'm not paying enough attention to certain events

FortunateFew, nice RX man. Are those Varstoens I see, nice stance! An RX-8 was on my list of cars to buy, def. a nice ride.

Some new pics of my Supra:



Titan license plate holder made my car faster! (Maybe the ETS intercooler that came with it helped too...)



A reason I never said much about all the CF bits on the MII FT86, I've got more CF on my hood than 5 FT86's have in total.



We were talking in another thread about how Toyota used to have their own badges for each model.




CF light cover with a vent. Doesn't do anything though. (intake is right behind there but seriously...)


Buddy with the white car in Import Tuner got this badge CNC'd as a joke (his says BIG Turbo), given the size of the two CT12's on this thing.


And a self portrait in CF.

Nice CF hood! Love it! I have CF hood on my Imp too. They're a bit pain to maintain, but really light weight for sure! Here are some of my Imp's CF hood pics (old pics w/o H&R lower spring or 17" wheels).

Dimman, I don't know if I have told you this before, but I would do dirty dirty things for your wheels.

Notice the 'Forged Monoblock ' and 'Made in Japan' on them. So they would maybe have to be extra dirty.



Funny thing is based on their sizing (17" x 8.5" all around) I don't think they were intended for a Supra, maybe Celica. I'm going to put on 245/40R17's on all around when I get new tires, but I can't put more than a 255/40R17 on them.

That's a clean car, Ichi. What it needs now is a turbo. And a 22b widebody.

There's a guy selling a 1st gen turbo Legacy, with a rebuilt motor and new clutch but a shitty shell for $400 near my place. I just don't have the room to snatch it up, or the know-how to swap it into my BD (with an old Supra intercooler intstalled).

I've heard the 2.2L turbo block with good heads (EJ20G or EJ205's) that it is pretty close to what the 22b's motor was (depending on turbo, etc...)

Yeah, I agree on 22B wide body kit... but I'm debating to go Turbo or do H6 swap. Both is pretty much do same thing. Direct out & in. not having lag on low end w H6... but do love hearing BOV on the turbo. It's hard to decide...

As for you swap, main hard part is wiring, rest if minor. If you know someone that can do wiring, it'll be cheap/easy swap.
