nice I owned a 95 TT and it didn't need anyting. My father was a lexus engineer and I took that supra off his hands, he purchased it originally for 48k with his discount, anyway he told me how over engineered it was for its time, because steel was still so prevelant back then they saved weight on all sorts of things hollow carpet fibers single exhuast but he said they were built for 500HP sustained all day then detuned them to 320. I remeber adding the BPU totalling 2200 bucks and putting 490 to the wheels along with doing the TTT mod (for those not in the know the true twin turbo mod) supras were actually sequential (as opposed to simultenous twins) so 1 turbo spooled momentarily after the other so eliminate lag, but the twins were so small lag was never an issue. Crazy too that they used tremec gear boxes anyway it was bad@ss, a little heavier than the Z bad@ss
I had a 95 NA Hardtop - i single turbo'd it - it dyno'd 436@ 14psi - it was fun had it for a long time (nearly 10 years) - sold it - got the z
- the power steering boiled over on the supra at the track - but i never cared just stuck a headband around the cap - fun car - I like the Z better at the moment because its new to me and its not 1995 - no i don't miss the supra - all my friends have them lol
I can't wait to get paid - need plugs (i was thinking iridium since my motor is stock except for exhaust and intake maybe be a good choice) - alignment - oil change - swap my brake pads raise the ride height - (look for an oil cooler - i was thinking about mounting it outside on the front bumper like the old skylines and corolla's... j/k) - maybe corner balanced out at eagles canyon w00t
- so far the z seems really easy to work on and the suspension is freaking cool - after i get this eagles canyon under my belt i'm going to start hitting up some auto cross with ya'll - or at least attending some events that ya'll will also be at

ALLstarE4 Mike, you can have your car corner balanced at Eagle's Canyon?

I'm gonna go get it from Jeremiah out at MVP in Bridgeport. I'll drive my company truck so gas isn't an issue. I'm off today so time isn't really an issue. LOL I've called everyone in my area.
Jeremiah has it for $17 so I guess he's my best option anyway. I might call Dan just to see. Thanks Stephen.

excellent^ - yes - the TT with 6 speed without more than a wg tweak - a few bolt ons and a boost controller would flop out nearly 500whp on a dyno without doing anything to anything and you could drive it like that until the end of time -

Nice damn I never knew, man we could have some conversations, I had mine for 6 years. I had it then my 91 AWD eclipse then got a 97 talon was saw many engines. That was fast, 11.7 on street tires. Anyway when I got the Z I was impressed I double checked the drive shaft when putting on my first exhasut hard to believe what its made of on a regular full production car.
BTW your sig is clever 2JZGE-T anybody in all of their noob glory try to correct you?
My DSM was like that its was a 420a mutt, cylinder head from the Talon block from 2.4 dodge stratus and .20 over, I moved injector 1 to injector 4 turned the cam gears...it was different but it turned into a beast
I agree be there, make it happen
Having a tech day isn't a prob. Almost have all the cars out of the shop and it's not that hot just yet. My branick is a wall mount spring compressor. I've had several of the big bolt ones but with the progressive springs on the newer cars and trucks I don't think they are safe. You can literally compress a spring in like 2mins
