What's up guys!!! Its been ages since I've posted up on here. I've had to put my Dad in an assistant living facility and with working on the house renovating/remodeling it up to the fullest both inside and out and getting an english bulldog puppy named Roxy, has made me been lost for a while now.
The Supra is doing great with the final pieces of the car getting here starting by the end of this month early April from Japan...Below are the items I'm waiting on, and I will be completely done with the car. I will be posting up pics as soon as everything gets installed.
Just ordered these yesterday from Titan Motorsports...StopTech's new Trophy Sports Big Brake Kit

No I don't teach, not my thing. I work in Weston on C shift. Maybe we'll run into each other if you ride out there, or you can come to one of our Saturday meets.

In getting the front kit only and not the rear I saved over $3k. YES, StopTech's new Trophy Sports Big Brake Kit are expensive coming to a total of almost $7k for both front and rear kits put together. They're the same brakes that are on the Porsche GT3 Cup Car.
Btw I get my car back in 1-2 weeks...

Yeah, I'm only getting the front kit which comes with StopTech's new and lighter 6-Piston calipers and slotted 14" 355mm rotors. I went with the slotted rotors in the front to match my current StopTech's slotted rear rotors, and I didn't go with the rear 4-Piston calipers because I like my current stock Supra calipers that are all polished up.

Are they the same as the PCCB??? As a BIG Porsche Fan, I would stick with the steel rotors instead of the Composite Ceramic. There's been a lot of complaints of them tending to fade in heavy use. Yea you may save weight but at the cost of what??? Just my Two cents homie...

Now in two weeks I'm getting the tiles removed throughout the entire house and putting in some new tiles with the rooms getting wood finishing floors. While that's going on, I'm getting the kitchen and master bathroom all remodeled and done..And the list goes on and on bro!!! When it's all said and done we're doing meets at my house and some away Canes games as well, so get ready...Plus I now have a pool table which both Edwin and Chris have already seen. Dude I'm going to be a coach potato on the weekends (LOL) when the entertainment center gets done up as well during the renovation...
Now on to the brakes...Nope they're not the same as the PCCB...If the Trophy Sports kit came with Ceramic Composite rotors, then the brakes would come out to be 10 grand more, LOL!!! The pic below is of StopTech's Porsche GT3 Cup Car that is equipped with the same Trophy Sports kit I ordered for the Supra.
It uses an AeroRotor and AeroHat, both engineered to increase airflow for better cooling and performance. It's striclty for track use but StopTech says the following ---> "StopTech's Trophy Sport Big Brake Kits can perform under heavy track day conditions, but can still be driven as daily transportation without the increased maintenance requirements associated with dedicated racing components," said Dan Lelchuk, President of Centric Parts, summarizing the benefit of the Trophy Sport program. "Trophy Sport Big Brake Kits provide reliable and quiet braking for performance cars that see heavy track time alongside everyday use at street temperatures and speeds."
HEY, I'M ALL FOR THAT BROTHA!!! And at what cost? At the cost of being damn different from everyone else, LOL!!!
You gotta come by the house!!!

LOL!!! BTW I'm with Edwin on you getting the front bumper. Just not with the two canards on each side of the bumper. One on each side should do the job...

I really like that Chargespeed front bumper. Go for it JR. Also go with no canards. I think it looks cleaner.
