Beautiful cars man!! Love both of them!!! We want more pics of the 86 as well is it 6speed?

Details on the 86:

Peagsus White (Whiteout in the US)
6MT
Base Spec

Bought the car when it was released in July 2012. Sold it in January 2013 as to fund my holiday to the states.
Excellent drivers car. Seats were great, handling was awesome and was very comfortable as well. Hope to have another one as a run around car when the prices for the used cars drop under 20k.

Default Plans

Just some insight into my plans and the last couple of months.

So basically around December time I put a deposit on this beauty:

My 97 RSP Soarer-1234195_416690625101668_1248012192_n.jpg

1993 Toyota Supra RZ 6MT
TRD Widebody
6466
Lots of mods
Porsche Gun metal Grey paint etc.

Plan was to use the Soarer as a comfortable, quick, practical daily and use the Supra as a weekend car. But the sale fell through two weeks before I was going to pick the car up.
At that point I decided to spend my saved money on the Soarer and build that up to be a weekend car. That same day I started buying parts and making commitments when the Supra owned contacted me again letting me know the car was available again.
This time I stuck to my plan and decided against the Supra. Let me tell you it was a VERY difficult decision and I hope one day I can have an opportunity to own that car / TRD Widebody Supra.

Plans for the Soarer are:

Step 1: Swap interior to factory black - Complete
Swapped out all the tan and poo brown pieces with black except the dash which was dyed.
Installed JZS161 Aristo 3 Spoke wheel with airbag
S2K Black Leather Seats

Step 2: Clean up the exterior - Under way

Repaint front bar - Clear is peeling off
Repaint side mirrors - Clear is peeling off
Repaint roof - Some minor surface rust near rear window seal.
Paint correction of whole car. Remove all the swirls, small marks, etc.

Step 3: Perfect suspension. Need a good base for the power I want to extract - Under way

Poly bushings installed in all suspension arms - Completed
Whiteline F/R adjustable sway bars - Bought, just need to install them
Marks Engineering Solid differential and subframe mounts - Bought, just need to install them
HKS HiperMax IV GT - Purchased - To be installed
Installing Supra TT Rear Subframe with B03B

Step 4: Transmission

R154 has to have the thrust washer rebuild to hold the power I want so I am swapping it out for a V160
V160 - Purchased. Installing soon
RPS Twin Carbon - Purchased. Installing soon
Marks Engineering Shifter Bushings
TRD Transmission Mount

Step 5: New Wheels..

I currently have some Series 2 JZA80 17s on my car as I was going to go with JZA80 Big Brakes, but this is not happening (bigger and better ). I am thinking of going for some Gram lights at this stage. Was considering going 18s, but dont want to risk brake clearance
Rays Gram lights 57Xtreme - F: 19x9.5 +43 (265/30/19) R: 19x10.5 +43 (305/30/19) - Yet to be purchased

I am kind of throwing up between GramLights or something a bit more "flashy". Lets see what happens.

Step 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - Single Turbo & Big Brakes:

PHR Twin Scroll T4 Manifold - Purchased.
2x 44mm Tial Wastegates with screamer pipes - Purchased
4.5inch dump pipe - Purchased
PT6262 OR EFR8374 - TBA
Haltech PS2000 - TBA
HKS/BC Cams - TBA
ID1300 or 2000s - TBA
Marks Engineering Fuel Rail - TBA
Walbro 450lph fuel pump - purchased
AEM Wideband - Purchased
Fuel Lines, Oil Lines, Water Lines - TBA
Brembo 6/4 Monobloc brake setup - To be purchased..maybe next month..need the wheels & tyres
Aem wideband - Purchased
Oil cooler - TBA
Intercooler - Have a generic one. Want to get a Greddy one - TBA
Other supporting mods as required.

Aim for 500rwhp on pump and maybe 550-600rwhp on E85 with excellent resposne.

Will update with pictures of parts when I am back home from work in a month!
