Default Spent some money today....

here is a list of parts which I paid for today. I should start to see some by the end of the week...

tein basic coilovers
turbo manifold
downpipe
midpipe
t61 turbo
wastegate
bov
SP 3mm headgasket
550 injectors
intercooler
AEM

next on the list is arp head bolts, fuel pump, oil feed/drain, intercooler piping, EGR blockoff plates, etc. I also painted the gold tailpipes black as I took off the gold emblems and replaced them with chrome ones, but the exhaust tips remained gold. Im not sure if I will go with an aftermarket exhaust or just chrome the tips and run an electric cutout before the catback.

After the install is done, I will be taking the car to sound performance to have larry tune the AEM. Im just looking for 300rwhp on pumpgas through the auto for now, then I will go with the SP built auto and swap the 61mm turbo for a 67.

Im just looking to wake the car up a bit after running 16.5@84 in BONE stock, full weight trim.





I hope to have an after photo of the motor sooner than later. Here is what it looks like now...

Question

Will these wheels fit the Supra TT and LS400 brake calipers perfectly?

not xs, I went with a daveh mani and some of the other misc parts will be fabricated by CPE, the company which does TT vipers and cobras. He was going to do a na-t kit for supra/lexus but he didnt see the demand for them with all the other companies out there. Plus, he didnt want to step on anyones toes. I cant wait for even 300rwhp, the car is sooo slow being bone stock and an auto, but its the best daily driver Ive ever had
