Thanks guys its been fun so far.

Yes I did have to trim my front and rear fenders. I removed the metal undertrim and trimmed the inner fender lip. As you can see in the pics I'm running a bit of negative camber in the rear so I need to get an alignment. I'm holding off until I get around to doing the control arm bushings first. As the rear fenders sit right now, it looks like I have about +1.5 degrees of camber to work with without rubbing. Or I might just leave as is and slap on a 285 or possibly a 295. Hope that helps, if not let me know.

Yeah I'm catching the boosted fever again. I used to have a 500 rwhp FD and I really miss the power. I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to keep my SC or sell it and get a Mk IV Supra, which I have always wanted but the asking prices never appealed to me. I love both the SC and Supra but I'm going to have to do a little more research on the amount of monetary and time invested in doing a "complete" no short cuts swap in a SC. I would want to build the SC as if it came from Lexus with the 2JGTE/ V160 drivetrain.
