Specs? What kinda specs would you like?

Right now the car is basically a stock 92 pearl white sc auto w/ 192k miles.
Swapped out suspension for Supra TEIN HAs. Put the GT-Us on it. Bolted in some tan leather Supra seats, temporarilly until I strip the interior and put some real seats in it (BTW I highly recommend switching out the stock seats for Supra's to anyone w/ an SC, they bolt right in, just change over the SC harness connector...and the seating position is sooo much better, especially for those taller guys out there).
Cut out the spare tire well for trunk floor mods to accomidate the CF diffuser I'm fabbing. And yanked the exhaust so I could fab up a 3 to 2.5 Y-ed duals for a customer. So now I have to fab up the single exhaust for the passenger-side rear exit, still trying to decide on the muffler to use, most likely either HKS Ti or Burns w/ lightweight thin wall stainless for piping.
I also have a set of Supra TT calipers f+r waiting for some rotors and sslines to go on the car.

The motor in the picks has a BLITZ K27 kit on it w/ inconel header and all, but that's really for my Supra sitting outside. It's also got HKS 264s on top w/ bowl and chamber work done on the head, and Ferrea valvetrain. The stock crank pulley is on it right now for the assembly but an ATI unit is coming soon.
I have a GT37 sitting around for the SC, and another bottom end is next door at the machine shop w/ ARP main studs and JE pistons, just waiting on the Carrillo rods and the crank scalloping to be done.

I was going with a 5-speed setup at first, since I have a whole W58 drivetrain available w/ only 40k on it, but things snowball of course, and now I'm torn between using the 154 or the V160 and the accompanying rear end I would need to dig up to go w/ it. The good thing about the V160 is that the Tilton 14# carbon carbon is readily available.

Well gotta go for now, I'll try to come back w/ the rest later...
