That was a strong burnout vid in your first post!! I think your car looked awesome when it was on the MKIV wheels but your new wheels look great!! Whats your game plan for 2015?

had a bit of an issue in the spring... my poor little holset turbo finally decided it was time to move on... wasn't sure at the time whether to just replace with the same because I loved the quick spool and overall feel it had for daily driving or go with something a bit more powerful.... in the end decided to go with something new and I have been super happy since...




so I managed to kill my holset hx35 ...time for an upgrade....





decided to go with my Garrett T04R that I was originally going to use on a different project...





3' vband out which is coupled now to my full turbo back 3" exhaust ...





clocking the turbo...





well it's in at least...time to spend some time cleaning up the engine bay soon...

This thread should definitely be in the new "Build Threads" section!! The T04R is a great turbo!! a friend of mine has one on his 7M MKIII Supra. Minimal lag for its size and plenty of air flow!!

Beautiful car man. When I get a first gen GS I'll trade you my leather interior for your cloth lol. Those seats MUST be comfortable as hell. The slammed cambered out look isn't for me though but your car is basically where I want to get mine. Just a different color.

Any plans for some wide body rears like for the 2nd gen?? I'd definitely like to get some more grip in my *** end and not flare the fenders hard core.

Love this ride! I can't wait to start tinkering with mods. I have to focus on the maintenance and motor on mine first. I'm a big fan of the color on your car too. loved the MKIV Supra wheels on it as well. happy modding
