been a while since ive done anything to the car, way too busy with school and work.

all ive done is mount the rear rotors and move the car outside, we have 60 people coming over for thanksgiving and the garage is used for frying the turkey's. so this is one of the few times the supra has to stay outside overnight

Rotors (stock 05 Corvette Z51)

BOOO!
I've installed my long block, fooled with cam timing, scored some bearings and pulled the block, and half way to having my block back, and your priorities are where????



JK, M.O.B. is priority
But seriously, once the car is done it'll no longer be that eye sore your putting off.

We've had rain two days in a row.........that doesn't happen here very often either. Good luck with your allergies.

Whats the size/offset of the rims? or did i miss it somewhere lol

i dont think i posted it

IIRC they are
18x8 +30 (F)
18x10 +25 (R)

finally got around to some stuff today

thanks to Ryan G (drifttard) I finally have the last piece of suspension, ST sway bars

finally remembered to go get the centering rings from the machinist for my rear rotors, so i got those on while swapping the rear sway bar

taking a minimester right now, so mon-thurs i have all of about an hour at most in between work and school, so not much will happen during the week for the car.

Coming along nicely... don't sweat the pace, it's faster than I'm going.

Running the MKIV TT rear brakes?

My mom has a 2000 mr2 spyder with that same steering wheel.. Im pretty sure the celica's and some corolla's have it too.. I love that wheel tho.. Great size and grip and look... should come out looking real nice! you going to keep that oem airbag setup or delete it or what?
