Not sure yet. I own a supra too and am not sure if I will even be able to make it over there this year. I went last year, but I flew in.

Yes Steve is very open right now. I own a shop in Palm Springs and do a lot of work with him. We just finished building a G35 with RB26 swap and debuted it at SEMA and got offered a couple Magazine covers. Drop by if you want.

its a nice list of parts....

i dont see the reason for the ikeya formula suspension components. they are way over priced for what they are. since you will be on air anyways, no matter what you do to the suspension it wont handle right.

if you are doing this as a shop/show car then cool....keep the updates coming.

btw get a different front bumper/fix it because that gap looks huge.

The kit on the car right now is tore up from Drifting and daily driving... it will be changed when we do the widebody.

This is going to be a shop/show car as well, so that is the reason for the suspension.

Thumbs up

Sounds like its gonna be an awesome build. BTW that's a nice looking G35 in the background. RB26 in a G35 platform, sounds like you guys are going with the Top Secret Performance Engineering idea.
