I'm gonna go for it. I've decided So I looked up the grip royal and yes it may be a lot less expensive, I personally like the Nardi better. Thats just me though! Now to get a slim NRG quick release or the regular NRG quick release...

Thanks all! Just got the harness bar at the shop last week. Still waiting on the OS Giken twin plate and flywheel from Japan. Harnesses and seat rails w/ sliders will be ordered this week. Hopefully if everything shows up at the shop this week/early next week, we can get this street machine wrapped up!

Nice pickup, I almost snagged this car when it first went on sale (used to see it alot), but decided to upgrade mine instead. Good luck

Nice progress so far man. I wish i had the opportunity to drive my SC with stock twins versus the BW single, just to feel the difference. You should be well on your way to achieving your goals of 600 plus. The look under the hood is also impressive. The greater the look, the better it runs, IMO. Love the blacked out parts.

Thanks a lot! I agree, it will be pretty cool to see the differences. When the twins were on there, they had been modified to spool at the same time rather than sequentially. I'll have to post dyno results of the before with twins and the after with big single after I get the car tuned. Yea I definitely appreciate a clean bay. The car was previously owned by a guy who owns a powder coating business, hence why most of the parts in the engine bay are blacked out haha. His trademark color is lime green and the brake calipers and HKS fuel rail are powder coated this color. Originally I wanted both changed to black, but I dont really think its necessary. Soon enough in the future I'll have some red brembo's all around and I'll just leave the fuel rail green for a random color splash.

Got some updates. The exhaust is complete! My transmission is the one in the middle, built by Drift Motion with all the same parts that Marlin Crawler uses to build their R154's plus a couple extra Drift Motion parts. I do have the bell housing, it's just not in the picture. Still waiting on the OS Giken twin plate clutch and flywheel from Japan.

So the exhaust is done done and I must say it sounds pretty damn good. Very happy with the way it turned out as a whole.

The entire exhaust from the turbo back is all v-band. MoFab for the win!

Thanks man. I'm partial to the twins. I just think it looks really good. Also I think it looks kinda awkward with a single because the indent in the bumper on the unused side is just there not really doing anything. Idk, I just think it looks out of place.

Thanks man! A ton of time went into it to ensure the fitment was on point. I think you should go this route. Looks good, get massive flow, don't have to worry about a cutout, and it sounds great. Heard the car start up and rev a little bit and the exhaust sounds fantastic. Pretty much how a Supra should sound. What kind of power are you making with your SC?
