A few more pictures from the build up.

 

Tein EDFC parts

Mounted on one of the front coilovers.

The engine bay is starting to be filled up with parts.

Greddy oil catch tank and the ABS unit isn’t that nice looking so I ordered a SP racing ABS cover.

It makes the engine bay look much cleaner.

Another overall picture now with a HKS complete intake pipe purchased from

Titan Motorsports with a ugly green filter that I won’t use.

The filter wasn’t included with the intake pipe but I have it lying around so it’s just there as a test.

Now we almost reached the pictures that shows were the project is today.

This is when I test mounted the wheels to see how they fit.

That was a nervous moment because I did the opposite of what was recommended. I bought the wheels after mounting the widebody kit.

And after a lot of calculations and measurements from my girlfriend, this is the result.

I think it turned out pretty good.

This was the first time in months the car touched ground again and the coilovers aren't optimized yet.

That's why the car is so high in the wheel houses.

This is how the first set of doors looked like.

I wasn't satisfied with the surface finish that's why I changed my mind and bought new doors.

http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/6425/20070718020rx3.jpg

 

But I'm not going to use them both because of how thy look on the car and

the fitment of the mirrors wasn't that good actually...as you may see.

So for now I'll go with the OEM one's instead.

The next update will be with some random pictures from the build up.

This weekend I will lift the car up again and adjust the height of the coilovers and do some other minor things.

 

Thanx to all of you for your comments and appreciation.

God bless him to choose OEM mirror over this hideous crap he was testing! I'm sorry, but i just CAN'T understand, why on earth people putting those strange things with mini mirrors, when OEM's complement Supra ideally! Oh and yes, i'm bloody jelaous, I wish to have unit like this and afford to spend so much time messing with my Supra, would prolly rebuild completely mine NA too

[Trig]

Holy crap.
