Looks good.......


what springs or coilovers are you using? I am thinking about taking off the 2 in drop springs on mine and going lower. How does the drive feel?

Thats hella tite. I like the rims. I always wanted to mount gauges behind my pass air bag cover and have it lift up with a linear actuator, but im not willing to give up the air bag.
What hand brake did you use ?

Transmission is a r154 mated to auto driveshaft, had a local company cut weld and balance the assembly. The handbrake assembly is from a MKIV Supra. I am using Tein coilovers, they are a little too soft for my liking. The leather work was done by me, it's pretty easy I just used the kit from leatherseats.com. The wheels are 19x10 +25 and 19x11 +30, I am going to use Brembo Gran Turismo kit for the front.
