Check out those ball joints too!

Whatsup my sloppy brother??
Thanks, i do take a lot of pride in the junk i slap together. I have been rocking the 293 for the last couple months of winter here, she's still plenty happy. I do however, need to come up with some decaps for this. It likes to lean out over 13:1 if i rev over 6k rpm, so i try to keep an eye on er.

Working on the Supra Turbo now, so i don't mind just leaving the GS alone, daily driving.

in other news, anyone wanna buy my fancy new springs and shocks? I've decided it is just too low for me. I have purchased a front suspension replacement kit, only one of the ball joints was sloppy. I don't care for the handling and miss my cushy Lexus ride.

i like your build and all even though its not put together like i would like but man your welds look awful and that angle on the piping coming from the turbo needs to be fixed so it can expel gas more efficiently

I never tell people I'm a welder or fabricator for that exact reason, my welds do look awful!

All the hotside is 2.5" so I'm not worried. That goofy bend i had to make there is to make room for the 4" exhaust. That I'm more concerned with on flow and nice bends.

I'm horribly overcome with conflicting feels... one car needs to be worked on at a time.

Supra first, or bring back the GS??

As much as I hate to admit it, you're probably going to have more fun in the Supra.

Although the $100 6L N/A can make some stupid power with just a cam and some heads.....

Man i saw this on CL for $500 overheated and had to have it. The windshield alone would have been $300. It's not perfect shape, but overall better than mine. Sold a few parts already.
