No need for a sticky, we're not FT/R-86/S stuff.

I've got a JDM GA70 narrow-body, targa chassis, that was sort of converted to Twin-Turbo 'R' spec in Japan (1JZGTE, R154, Shadow Grey with factory Recaro and Momo interior) before it came here. It also came over with JDM Cusco coilovers and rear shock tower bar. Apexi intake and exhaust. Apexi boost controller and turbo timer. And Rays/Volk 2 piece rims.

Since I got it, I've put in an aluminum driveshaft, custom alternator bracket to re-tension the belts after a power-steering delete. CFX carbon fiber hood waiting to get put on. Texalium (silver CF) bucket seats. Harness bar and harness (I think this was from Titan). ETS intercooler and hard piping (also from Titan?). Previous owner kept the 2 pc rims so I bought a set of Rays/TRD forged monobloc 17" wheels from a buddy who upgraded to CCW's (mine are limited edition JDM TRD wheels not the Enkei ones from North American TRD). 6 puck ceramic clutch. Probably some stuff I've forgotten.

It ran 13.7 before the upgrades (basically stock with intake and exhaust). But I haven't tracked it since the mods that are reducing all kinds of mass from the car, especially rotating mass. I'm hoping for 13.3's on stock twins at 13psi. My goal is to make speed through efficiency first, then add power.

Next steps are ATI damper, maybe a lighter flywheel, and a Haltech standalone.

The CCW's (CCW Classics, I think. They look like BBS wheels a bit.) my buddy got have all the extra holes drilled around the center piece to reduce weight. But I don't know if the small weight-loss is worth the hours it takes to clean them... heh.

Well it's actually a Lil more then u think, because they also leave off some metal that would be needed for the center caps, cause there are none on the race package, which is what that is, and wheel enertia (spelling?) on weight loss is -4x(weight lost on wheel) also X4 again for each wheel is equal to how much it would equal loseing off the total car, so every Lil bit counts

Hope that made sence

Here's the CCW's my buddy got:





They may be lighter with those holes, but I laugh at him when he has to clean them...

My coworker David has CCW's on his MKIV hardtop! (bad iPhone pic) They look perfect on these cars especially with 18's in the front and 17's in the rear.

I used to have a white '94 MKIV TT A/T but sold it after a couple of years. I've recently tried looking for one but most of them are all riced out or the owners is one crack with their price.

Are you going with the reverse stagger that a lot of the CCW guys do? (18's front, 17's rear?)

Buddy says it's so he has more sidewall to help hook up.

Yes and no, this first set is for street only, then when I get a Lil more whp I'm going to get a back set of 16's for slicks

If you do a brake upgrade in the back, double check that the 16's will clear. Another buddy did a Mk4 TT rear brake conversion on a Mk3 and couldn't fit the stock sawblade 16's and slicks when he got to the track. Don't know the whole story though (size, etc...)

Is that the guy with the 800+whp 7m? I met him at a PNW supra meet a few years ago. Nice guy and unbelievable car.
