Small update, car has been running good the last few days.

I did the "Catback Delete" It sounds surprisingly civil for no rear section.

But, all my A/C leaked out. There seems to be an o-ring broken somewhere.

Once these things are sorted out, I'll start fabbing up a Turbo-pipe for the missing rear section and get on the Remote mount setup.

Car in it's current state:

-17x8" WEDS knock-off's (+40 offset, I can even mount the Supra TT calipers yet.)
-Cat-back delete (That's right, the rear section is off. Still has 2 cats, and a huge center muffler. At least +10 HP.)
-6000k HIDS
-Supra TT Aluminum 2.25" radiator
-151k mile 1UZ-FE makes around 200hp/240TQ
-18-20 MPG City/ 20-22MPG Highway on 87 octane fuel. Not a tick or a sound anywhere, just replaced all of the front engine parts. Waterpump/Timing, etc.

I might Turbo the 1UZ and throw a GTE autobox in there to hold the torque.

But for now, I love driving it!
Beat me to it. I was going to say I wonder how long before the word turbo comes into his build thread.
I know, It's a sickness. I have it too.
