This is the perfect height with 20s... I went through all the incline roads I use to pass through and in the deepest dip of my driveway , I barely have half an inch clearance before the bottom of bumper scrapes the pavement . It barely clears the humps and bumps in the neighborhood.

Took some pictures near the lake in my neighborhood on my way home.

thanks buddy... did you btw got your injectors ?

You are welcome Shane. Yeah , the bumper in my opinion was well done by APTech. You just have to make sure where you are drilling. You cannot just drill where they have placed all those markers. Align , verify markers before drilling .. you will be golden. I can't be happier with the quality and fitment. I just need to use the heat gun in some areas to make fitment better and return the bumper to its original shape in some areas.

Supra gauge pod... there are 2 or 3 gauges pod . MVP I believe still have them.

ok cool. did you have to modify the pod to fit.. Im sure you had to trim some of the edges down because im guessing the pillars are different. Im checking out their site and it seems they sell them for the targa and the hardtop..by any chance do you remember which one you purchased.

APC Universal Double A-Pillar Gauge Pod 2-1/16 Inch P/N 107063 Triple Pod P/N is 107082, Single Pod is P/N is 107062.
I am using the double pod for my AEM gauges, the fit is almost perfect with very little trimming. I recommend these or the SC. You can try your local PepBoys parts store they usually can get it for you. That way you can test fit it to your pillar panel in the store before you buy it. I ended up ordering mine from their eBay site.

I have used something similar to what Eldon said in my other red car ... minor trimming too

Gerrb,

Did you also do the holes for the push pins underneath the top lip and the metal brackets in the openings by the fog lights?? If you did how difficult was it aligning and drilling those holes?? Pics ??

Looking good. But you're still on the stock brakes in front with a built GTE?

gerrb

yeah... these two cars have stock 2jzgte only for now and need to secure the right brake upgrades once I am done with the body kits , paint and their exhausts upgrade. I first need to decide also on exactly what wheels I want on these cars before installing brake upgrades. Need to make sure calipers will fit on the wheels that I will settle with. IF I settle with 20s with a lot of space I will prefer to put the big brembo brakes from a Jeep so they will fill up the space and look good in there . Makes the car look better. Right now at around 400rwhp and only use the cars to ran errands in the city ..... the current brakes will do . These will be" look good" cars... hahaha.. not ..." need speed" cars that is why am installing the AC body kit . I have 6 other cars with truly built 2jzgte all making well above +850rwhp and 2 even +1200rwhp if I want speed. Speaking of which.. I just got a mouthful from my wife since she came to know the speeding tickets I got last week and this week ...lol.

Shane I did not install push pins on those fog lights area . if you put the three push pins under each headlights that secure the bumper on the headlight bracket , that bumper ain't going anywhere. Those I did install. Also am looking at still installing under trays at the bottom. That will help the bumper also in place , in shape , secured and clean down there.

hahaha thats awesome! So your Supras are all v160's and all your Sc's automatic? Which ones are most fun to drive?

Can't wait to see pics of these cars completed.

My 4 MKIVs are all 6speed . 3 auto SC and the 1997 original 5speed is now 6speed. Which one is fun to drive ?.. depends where I am...lol. If I am here in my place North of Atlanta ... the slow ones because of the traffic. All you need here are look good cars..lol, that is why I will make these two SCs good looking. On wide open roads in my place in the South where you can count the number of cars with your hands in a 100 mile stretch .. of course that is where the adrenaline kicks in .

I will eventually get these two SC cars (one 6speed and one built auto trans) on which am currently installing the AC body kit .. built engines and aftermarket twin turbos. so they even look better. They will be my look good SCs.... bragging cars as they say. The MKIVs are investments for me and probably will go one day. I will see till where their prices will go before I let go of any of them. Though right now with those 4, at the current market price , I stand to make over $80k knowing how much I paid for them.
