Bought this back last year. I knew when I bought it that it needed a little bit of work doing to it.
Front lip was cracked, Oil temp gauge was reading a constant 150 degrees
& oil pressure gauge wouldn't read at all
, it also had a massive subwoofer in the boot & a Trial rear bumper that I didn't really like from the start. It also had a pretty tacky CF wrap on the dash & window switches
The good bits it had though
Genuine BBS LM wheels, Bride Euro II seats, Hybrid turbos, Facelift front & rear lights, FMIC, UK Spec brakes & a FSH along with invoices for every aftermarket part on the car & any work that had been carried out
Some pics when I first bought it



I had always intended to declare the car sorn over winter so that I could get the bits & pieces sorted that I needed to - that took a bit longer to do & I bought a bit more than I planned
A Ridox front bumper was bought to replace the standard/Bomex combo, Defi Gauges to replace the cheapy ebay gauges, my HKS wideband gauge (This is my lucky charm
Its the third car I've had it in so I've got my moneys worth out of it!) to replace the AEM gauge, Nardi steering wheel & Carbing gear knob to replace the Momo Items. I also peeled off the CF stickers & had the dash wrapped in black suede. The chavtastic white speedo dials were also replaced with standard JDM items.
I also reverted to a standard rear bumper & bought a Top Secret rear diffuser (Later sold to pay for BMW repairs
) I also bought a TRD wing which I also sold after deciding it was a bit too BGW for me so ended up with a standard wing.
The next part wasn't really planned, I just managed to get a nice deal on it so went for it

BC 264 degree stage 2 cams, Titan cam gears, Sard 800CC injectors & a Syvecs S6
Once this was fitted & mapped then it was off for a full respray.
And as it stands now.









I've still got a few bits & pieces to finish up & I still need to get a dyno run sorted out but its nothing that can't wait

Stunning. Not sold on the BBS wheels on a supra but otherwise lovely
Ideally I'd have a set of CE28s on there but they don't quite make them in the right specs 
Took it for a dyno a few weeks back & it made less than 400hp & was misfiring when coming on boost.
Dropped it off at a mates garage to be looked at & got it compression tested
Cylinder 1: 155PSI
Cylinder 2: 150PSI
Cylinder 3: 160PSI
Cylinder 4: 120PSI
Cylinder 5: 150PSI
Cylinder 6: 155PSI
So after some consideration & a chat with my mate this happened

Engine will be off to machine shop soon.
Current build plan
Wiseco forged pistons
Eagle forged rods
Titan motorsports oil pump
ARP bolts
ACL bearings
OEM gaskets
Cometic head gasket
OEM water pump
BC 264 cams
BC retainers
BC valve springs
Titan cam gears
SRD plenum
Borg Warner S366 turbo
Whifbitz single turbo manifold
Screamer pipe
3 bosch 044 pumps
swirl pot
Sard 800cc injectors
Whifbitz Fuel rail
Spec stage 3 clutch
TRD LSD
plus a few other cool bits

target is 700hp with a similar torque figure

One of my all time favourite cars, possibly my all time favourite Jap car, I love the way the centre console is faced towards the driver, and the colour on yours is very nice.
