haha, you made me remember those "choose your own adventure" books that I used to check out of the library when I was a kid!

If you decide to install the 105mm throttle body, turn to page 10, otherwise turn to page 4...

Dunno, I'd like to see the completed headers?

yeah, this is the sorta rough plan ,

the car is in paint so , today the headlights are getting restored and the body is prepped , also the engine bay is getting more stripped

we are putting a mock up motor in a mkiv supra so we can start figuring out where the turbos and lines will go .

the Head is being sent out to Stewart engines , to shape/cloverleaf the combustion chambers and port and polish , also they are installing the 2mm oversized valves.

i will be bringing the wheels down to the bodyshop today or tomorrow to make sure there is clearance , they are a 19x10 +20 rear and a 19x9 +15 front , there may be some fender rolling and stretching to be done .





then there will be pics of the manifold process

sick build. Only, I hate non metallic gray. If you went with a metallic gray or oooooh keep it blue and go with the new ZR1 metallic blue, this would be so sex. What are your power goals and plans for the body? Wheels?

thats sorta the color , there is sooo much wrong with that car though, it could have been 100000% better even with a simple tint job and smoking those tailights , it really needs an accent color like brakes or lug nuts , but im sure the owner loves it so to each his own . just curious is that a windsheld wiper on the back ?
