Yea i saw that and went "oh shit.. this will be me.." Might see you at Circuit and coffee or something soon then.. once i get coils and a rear sway bar for mine :3
HOLY BALLS at the stock exhaust.......................................
Exactly, I was worried about turning out like that and it kind of made sense, the car has more than enough power for what I want right now anyway, when it doesnt, S/C kit just because.
And YES about the stock exhaust, i thought it would have been like.. 10kg but I started reading and its supposedly 28 :| damn. so 23kg weight saving right there is a HUGE plus.

Interested to see this turned into something track worthy..
That be the one! haha its a ridiculous video but yeah I agree with him.
And track worthy is a big ask, for now this will be the list I work on for the next few months.
- PLM/Weapon R Header's
- Front and Rear Sway Bars.
- federal RSR's all around
- RBC and VCT
- Flashpro
- Tune
Along with what it already has:
- coils
- camber and toe kits everywhere.
- tore out all the un-needed garbage in the boot and spare wheel well.
- and whatever else I have done to this point.
- Lighter rims (the roars)
- J's Racing single outlet titanium exhaust (weights 5.6kg total compared to 28kg stock exhaust)
- J's Racing strut Brace
I also want to get rid of those giant overweight HUGE front seats. Get some CL7 Euro R recaros.
yeah it got boring to keep looking over my shoulder for cops when I drove around, so back to coils for more fun (Y) so let this static nonsense begin! again. just gotta make those wheels fit somehow! not sure if they will at that offset. I have a horrible feeling they may not....
They are good.... Though after that track time and today's watching of drifts I'm craving rwd track skids hardcore now........... Hopefully that goes away and I don't do something silly like sell this car...
Ok. So. I suck at this stance game, never committed enough to one setup and always kept picking flaws in whatever I did. Then I watched a video, I would insert the link here but I have forgotten it.
So basically it went; Supra owner -> wants more power -> gets it -> wants more -> gets it -> wants more -> gets it, and goes on and on for a good 8 different setups, but at the end he said something along the lines of;
'Don't always be pushing for more, be happy and content with what you have and work with it, dont go aimlessly throwing money at a car wanting more and more from it because expectations of what it will come out like and it being different from your reality is the quickest way to sadness.'
Which in a way I suppose was true and if I were going to compete on a hardparking level to some of the cars I see on here and at meets I was going to be shelling out another $4k - $5k for custom forged wheels and new tyres etc and I was not prepared to do that.
So I have changed my mind, sold the bag setup to a mate and decided to do other stuff, like hoard ridiculous J's racing parts and do a bit of light engine work and tuning and then try my hand at a bit of time attacking the car just for fun (it's not fast, it won't be the fastest and its not the best car to try with - I KNOW) but its just to start in, give it a go and if I like it, build myself a better platform.
So I don't have pictures yet really of what im doing but I have got new coils in, sold my SSR's, bought some rezax roars (getting centre caps off a mate hopefully) for a front camber kit in FINALLY and J's racing titanium exhaust on the way along with strut bar and a few other goodies to get me out on track for a bit of fun. then intake side of things needs and upgrade along with ECU and tune.
They are god widths, weak offset, so spacers will rescue me again! wooo.

Went to a local meet up, hardparked it up then all of a sudden someone announced that we should all go do tracktime for a half hour.
So after umm-ing and aar-ing about whether or not i should I gave in and hopped on the track, pumped up the bags hardcore and fed it to it. I don't think I came below 5k revs once after I hopped on I just fed it to it, but everything held up, bags handled GREAT and nothing went wrong apart from a hefty consumption of fuel. so I was very pleased with that!
