Default New Pics and Update *56k warning*

Whats up guys,

I have decided to sell these wheels, and go to the IS300 5 spoke in chrome, I like the smaller spoke and I think it will be easier on the steering since they are an inch smaller. Anyways, locally there is a few mark IV supra owners and a turbo sc300 guy that I hang out with. The man wiht the turbo sc300 is getting ready to upgrade, and if i can bring in some extra cash from these wheels, Im going to take it off his hands and they are going to start helping me find parts and start work on my car. Im hoping to make ~300 hp. I dont want too much because I think I would get in alot of trouble and I dont think the auto could stand much more than that.

On a side note, they hit the dyno yesterday. One of the Supras made 707 rwhp on 24 psi, another made 480 rwhp on about 15 psi, and the turbo sc300 made 311 without an intercooler on 10 psi.

Heres a few pics of the car, washed it yesterday but just didnt have the time to take the pics.









Thanks for the support guys, everyone here has always taken care of me ! <3 CL

Yeah Ive been looking at springs and kits and things. I dont really want to slam it because I dont ever plan on going to a body kit, if I do want to ill go to the 97+ style. So im thinking about the eibachs since that wont be too low, but enough to take away some of the wheel well gap.

If you sell those, then get some staggered 18s or 19s, 17x7 IS wheels will not hold the kind of tire you need to put that turbo power down (IMO). Keep those and drop it low, dont worry about being to low, with the 97 kit, it will look perfect
