Order from summit came in today....and started to mock up location of duct.....

Anything wider than the 8.5" wheels is going to be a problem for 3" ducting....at full lock I only have about 10mm of clearance....

I'll update as I proceed....started with passenger side first.....because driver side has windshield washer reservoir....not sure what I am going to do on that side yet.

Passenger side is all finished up and fender liners put back in.

Worked on driver side as well...but only way to get it to work was to remove windshield washer reservoir permanently.....

Looking good.. Would you have any problems when you turn the wheel? will it rub against the duct?

Really nice ingenuity and work with the ducting. Brakes look great too.

It doesnt hit the duct at full lock....I test fitted the wheels and made sure of this before I fastened all down.....probably have around 10mm of clearance at full lock....but should be fine as its highly unlikely on a track to be at full lock

The air goes straight up through the hole in fender well area and points it straight at intake...

That looks beautiful. I am thinking for sure I'll do a duct toward the air filter in the engine bay. Don't think I can do ducts for the brakes because at least on the driver side the IC pipe won't allow any clearance.

Nice work. I'm thinking to do duct work like this for the radiator. The 5" think intercooler core plus two oil coolers behind it restrict a lot of air flow to the rad.

The key to help this would be to box in the the area behind bumper.....so that the only place air is able to go is through IC, coolers, and radiator.....or you could also add additional cut outs in bumper do allow more airflow...

Got the Carbotech brake pads today but unfortunately sent NA rear brake pads instead of TT. So will have to wait for correct pads to arrive.....

I repeatedly told them 93-98 Toyota Supra Turbo Rear pads....and still got the wrong ones.

Been itching to get the SC back on the road again......hence the frustration.......

I went with LS400 in XP10 and TT Rear in XP8 Compounds....This setup got good results over on Road Racing section of Supraforums

You will have better crank case ventilation if you put a hose from that catch can of yours since it is baffled into the turbo intake. It will help evacuate pressure better.

Time to let go of that R154 ...

Wow that looks awesome man!

The ducts in the bumper make for a killer look. It a purpose built weapon now! Sick work.

Definitely inspired me to do a duct now going toward the air filter.

I have been considering doing the CD009 swap.....since gearing is really close to V160 and the prices are insane now for the V160.....and brand new CD009 can be had for around $2000
