So I am keeping Sasha.. She is getting some bling!!
So I have been on here reading all about how people have use Supra Mk4 exhausts for there SC300's and such. So I decided to try it out. I ordered an ebay exhaust for the Mk4 that is a Dp + Exhaust 3" in diameter. I also ordered a high flow cat to install on it so that I can pass emissions. Seeing as how I have stock exhaust and a 1jz swap I figured for $250 I coulldn't go wrong. I will have to get it extended or just use the cat that I purchased to fill the void. So that being said that is one of the bling Items. I also have a custom DP that my buddy made and it has a wideband bung as well as a vband flange on the end of it. So I ordered a vband as well to put on the end of the Mk4 exhaust so that it will connect. So that will complete my full exhaust that it has so desperately needed for the past 2 yrs. Thanks "VRANK" for the DP also.
If you can see I have basic exhaust nothing special!!
It may be an ugly DP but the bends are real close to the exhaust already. So I will be going to get it all wlded up and see wether I will just use the flange off of it or if I need to do more with it.
So the next thing I am tackling is the cooling system. So I ordered the Mk4 Supra 2-core radiator to replace my current crap box of a rad in my car. I also have a trans cooler that I ordered to help cool my stupid Auto box until I do my 5 spd swap next year. I am getting new hoses as well for the rad just havent received them yet.
A couple other things I am doing as well are the front bushings for the upper and lower control arms. I have a set of steering rack bushings going in as well. Vrank will be helping me to do the front main seal, cam seals, timing belt and accessory belt. We are planning on getting a set of LS400 4pot calipers and Rotors to ad some stopping power since the stock brakes are weak sauce! I already have SS brake lines so that will help out as well. After all of this I will be having the alignment done and also a possible tune since I will finally have my UEGO hooked up and I have had my S-afc hooked up forever and not tuned. This should be fun. I may even crank the boost a little to 14psi at most.
I will be updating with more pics when I receive more parts as well as a small write up and good pics of the exhaust since people seem to not have any on the net that you can really see well. I hope to help with this by getting some good ones. Anyway, That is what I am doing now to Sasha since she needs some love!!!

It should look killer and sound good too. I can't wait to see it all done. Hopefully it will tuck nicely with out having to mod it more but if it does no biggie. Im going tomorrow morning to the junk yard to get some LS400 brakes also!

Ok, so I just ordered up all the brake parts I needed. I spent about $350 total on my brakes.
I ordered the front L/R Calipers for a 95+ Ls400 reman from A-1 Cardone 19-1908/19-1909 for $180 shipped
Also Ls400 front rotors & pads for $118 shipped
I needed rear Sc300 rotors so I ordered those for $63 shipped
So not bad for that amount... I already have SS lines so it should feel way better when braking than it does now with the doodoo stock brakes.
I have to say that my egay brakes from a 1.5yr ago held up ok but they don't like coming down from higher speeds. They faded and now are starting to crack. The rotors that is! I can't wait to see how these feel when they are on and ready along with the suspension bushings done.
Updates soon with install of the brakes when I get them I will finish them in my burnt orange color I love so much!
