Background
I got my car back in 1998. I went to a dealer to look for a Honda Civic (they were popular back then). As I was looking around I saw this beautiful white car. I didn’t even know what it was "Supra" …………..

It had only 78K miles on it and the dealer wanted $11k for it. I didn’t really care how much it was I just wanted it. I guess it was love at first sight. I got the car that day, and that’s how it all began.

Turbo
SP61GT 61 a/r

Bottom End
Stock rods and pistons, with HKS 1.2 Metal head gasket and ARP bolts.

Head
Stock

Intake
I have a KN&N FIPK, with Greddy Type S BOV, MAXX FMIC, MAXX Hard Pipes

Exhaust
Currently I am using stock manifold, with a high flow SS 3" Elbow, a RT 3" Downpipe eliminating cat, and a 3" Blitz Nur Spec Exhaust.

Fuel
Walbro fuel pump, RC 550's injectors and Aeromotive FPR

Drivetrain
Curently I am using RPS Stage 1 Clutch, which is not holding too well. I also have cut the stock shifter, it looks better, and also quicker shifting.

Suspension
I have an eBay strut bar. Stock suspension for now, it feels very bad in turns.

Brakes
Stock

Electronics
Controlling that big Boost with a Turbo XS Dual stage boost controller, and air/fuel with a SAFCII, and a Greddy Turbo Timer.

Interior
Rebuilt Stock seats, with two tone color, Maroon, with a black stripe in the center.

Exterior
Custom Pearl White paint job, with MAXX front Bumper, Bomex Side Skirts, molded Nissan 280 hood scoop, 17" MKIV Wheels, Kumho Supra Tires, 245/45/17 Front, 275/40/17 Rear.

Writeup
The engine had been changed 2 times. First time was when i got a BHG, and the mechanic said i had to change the engine. Second time is when i got a Rod Knock, and a BHG. Then i finally found out that they make metal head gaskets for our cars.

After doing the MHG, i started slowly building the power. from a Pep boys air filter, to a Greddy FIPK, and from a home made crush bent exhaust, to a Blitz Nur Spec. One suggestion for all you supra lovers planning on building your car to the max, dont rush, have a plan on what are most important parts you need to get to support your goals. If your goal is 400RWHP, believe me when you get there you will want more. One more thing to remember Boost Is Your Friend, but be careful with it.

Future plans
In a short time i am planning on getting Ross Pistons, RPS Stage 3 Clutch, Polishing the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, turbo housing, valve covers, and upper IC Pipes, just so my engine bay looks cleaner.
