Default new guy checking in with pics








That's my car, '93 5spd with grey leather. JIC bodykit and Volk GT-7's. Next up are some coilovers, Supra tt brakes, and of course that trivial matter of a motor.

Thanks, I have most of a turbo kit right now for the car, but I'm thinking about ditching it and just going with a 1jzgte or more than likely a 1.5jzgte just to be a little different. I'd like to do a full 2jzgte but don't quite have the money.

I'm thinking a 1jzgte head, on a 2jzge bottom end with GTE pistons, and some USDM turbo's and injectors with an AFC to fine tune it all would put me about where I want to be for now.

Also need to look for an upgraded tranny, TT brakes, coilovers, LSD, seats (mine are looking ratty) steering wheel (same as seats) and maybe some sort of upgrades sound system. Then a cage and some swaybars..... should be a long journey, but I love a good project.

That's why I've got coilovers on my list of crap to buy. That kit made my 18in wheels look like 16's......

I'm going to put the grill in it, just trying to find one (used) I'm not going to do the fog lights, I don't really like the way they look. I just got the car out of the paint booth sunday. It's all still pretty new to me, I've built up quite a few very fast turbo Nissan's, but this is my first Toyota. I've only had her for about 2 months.

I live in Gainesville but float back and forth to Orlando a lot.
