Some updates with my car *pics*
Well I really don't have time to mess with my car much now due to school but I am trying to somewhat get it ready for the supra nationals (tx2k11) here in Houston march 17-20.
I just recently had the car tinted with 35% tint all around and it really transformed the car in appearance. The windows all match along with the panoramic roof.
I also got MT ET Street tires in a 255/50/16 mounted on some old MB rims. However, as I was messing around I noticed the lug hole was a 12mm and not a 14mm like on our cars. So I either need to find a rim shop to enlarge them or I can get a drill bit and do it myself.
Finally, my headers are done. My buddy was busy with school and trying to finish up a twin turbo kit for a mustang that the headers had to be placed on hold. Well after a month or so they were finally done. I am going to send them off to TCC for a ceramic coating before going on the car.
I will be getting a baseline and after header dyno numbers as soon as I can.
Coming soon..
Titanium dual intake
custom vband x pipe

I didn't know you were local to Houston. I'll be rolling out west for the free Dyno day on Friday around 11am. They're doing free dynos from 9-5.
What day were you planning on going out? I think I was going to try and meet Shardul out there too.

Where are you finding this? Supraforums? Couldn't find it in the 6speedonline thread.
This is for Friday night? I'll be down for some fun. shardul has my #. I've got obligations all day Saturday unfortunately.
FUARK. Thursday afternoon/evening is going to be busy. I fabbed up some goodies for my car that aren't 100% yet, but I'm dailying them all this week to see if there's any appreciable difference in my IATs or Cooling.
Shardul, how quickly could we split my circuit if I picked up a reservoir?
If you would, PM me or link the forum where I can get on that list...I'd be 111-120mph.

ran an is300 last night. it had a gte swap with a 67mm turbo @18psi. from a 60mph roll we were dead even..and from a 40mph i would jump out about half a car or so but he would reel me in up top. eh not bad for such little mods.

thanks. i love these tires. i have no more traction issues while driving around with the TC off.
I think im going to bit the bullet and do a full aluminum exhaust. I have been talking to a few fabricators (toxicfab and unobtainium)who have done a handful of aluminum exh with no complaint.
here is a picture of a customer of unobtainium who has a full aluminum exh on his camaro.

How much does that run? Seems like the aluminum alone must be a pretty penny.
