No.

While I have some mad love for a nice MKIV Supra, your SC is down right gorgeous! Something about a 92 that has that agressive look with that factory front lip. And you have a much more elegant interior.

BTW, what kind of blanky you got on that turbo. I'm looking for one to go on my GT35r that's in my supra. The underhood heat is incredible, and I don't beat on that car very much.

Thanks for the kind words man. My blamket is from a company off of Ebay. Search turbo t5 blankets, they are from Brighton, TN. Quality work, but they chrome started to flake off, I sent it back and they resent me another one in black.. They told me this has become a problem with them. So far so good.. I didnt mind the fact that it started to flaking, because the DEI chrome wrap did the exact same thing. I will post a new picture of the new blanket soon.

Again thanks for the kind words..

Update... i went to the Lexus dealership yesterday and asked the Dent guy to fix a small few little dents in the car. He was done in about 30 minutes, and had done been in three panels. Removed seven dents, and only charged me $60 bucks.. I was so impressed. Great work and not out to rob me. I need to buy the tools and learn myself.

My new valve cover also turned out great. I had the old fitting rewelded on the new cover. Repolished it up with some sand paper and wolla, nice and shiny. Also installed new bolts and washers with a new seal. No more oil leak now.. So Happy. Ordered 6 quarts of Amsoil racing turbo oil, should be here tomorrow. Will change the oil and load on trailer... headed to Atlanta on Friday night... Getting excited!!!

We made it one peace. Dropped the car off with Zen Motors after the Luxury Car Meet. I need them to double check everything before the big day on Monday. My Amsoil oil came in and this will be done before the dyno. So far so good except when I was loading the car on the trailer. Dang it!!! See below!!!

The countodown is 23 hours and 39 minutes....lol

Need to change the oil, wastegate spring, and install the boost controller. Luckily Zen Motors has one.

That boo boo is from loading the trailer. My stepsons were helping me load it. One said to go, one said to stop. I was commited after that.. I will get it rewrapped. No one at the meet even mentioned it or saw. Its on the very bottom, but I know its there.

Let me know who their tuner is. And is their dyno in that shop ? I have been there before and didn't notice their dynos. Jeremy told me they have a dynojet and a mustang .. let me know ... and interested how good is their tuner . I just need to dyno my 6 speed stroker to confirm the figures given to me by the past owner and past dyno sheets and eventually in the future get my SC tuned ..

there are two black supras and two white SCs there right now that belong to good people I know .. and I believe the black or dark green SC of iridebmx is still there for repair too.
