Thanks. I'm running the SC spec Tokico HPs and Espelir ASD springs. I don't think they make them for the supra. They only make the Tokico Illumina and Espelir Active GT springs. I would prefer coilovers but this look and handle great.

I drove through the meet at towers on friday early around 5:30pm. But I had to be at school at 5:30pm lol. Since it was on my way, I drove by to at least show my face.

My poorman's audio setup...

My brother's used to do plenty of car audio installations many years ago so we had a lot of extra audio equipment. So I took whatever we had and installed it on my car.
MA Audio 4" speakers all around, MA Audio 600w Amp, Lightning Audio cap, 10" Pioneer 1000w sub. I kept blowing my 600w MA audio subs so I bought the Pioneer one.

The SC trunk gets very hot and I noticed the AMP would cut off after playing for a while. So I took a computer cooling fan and cut the plexiglass and mounted on it. I ran the power wire to the cigarette lighter so I can use it whenever I need to. And I can hide it away when I'm not using it.

Total spent: $80 just for the sub and box

LoL kinda looks like my set up. But mine cam with the car they took out the factory amp and the 10" sub from the rear deck and ran a 250wat amp for the interior speakers and an old punch 300 for the 10" Diamond audio sub. It bangs real good depending on the song but i think it has a lot to do with the fact that the factory sub is not there anymore and its acting like a port hole for the trunk...

Yeah I removed my stock sub and amp because the sub and rear speakers weren't working. What I love about the car is that when all the windows are closed, you can't hear the system from outside except for some bass. But as soon as the windows opens, everything sounds nice and clear. I'm very satisfied with the sound. Nobody believes 1 10" sub cant hit so hard.

I was never into car audio. When I had my 240sx, it was all performance. But once I started on the SC, I couldn't stop lol. I just wish SC's would have a bigger trunk. My parent's GS has so much room in there. That fuel tank takes up plenty of space.

I haven't had an update in a while. I recently installed 25mm hubcentric spacers in the rear and move the 15mm spacers up front. I "rolled" the rear fenders with a rubber mallet and a heat gun. BTW my rear wheels have 245/40 size tires, not the stock 2IS 255/40.

The grey 04 IS300 sportdesign is my brother's. The silver 01 GS300 is my other brother's. And the white 00 GS300 is my mom's.
