The wheels look good, along with the car! Looks like a really clean, not overdone example of a MK3. I like it! What are your plans for the TT wheels?
Brandon's Build
- Thread starter BrandonW
- Start date
Thanks! thats what I always wanted to go for
Well I was gonna sit on the for a little but got offered pretty much what I paid for them from a friend so probably like 2 weeks of having them off and before I put them up for sale I sold them lol
They weren't in that great of shape (rears not to bad) but they had a bunch of curb rash from whoever had them before me and my buddy I bought them off of since I don't think he ever used them (one of the fronts had rash on the spokes)
they didn't look to bad in pics though lol

Gotcha, they looked clean in the pics that's why I asked. That's good you got your money back out of them though.
Next month should hold a couple updates for the car but as for now not to much
Got tagged at a local car show on a facebook supra page
While down in ocmd for cruise weekend
Took a ride to va for the weekend 4 hours to my buddy house then another 2 the next morning to a toyota scion show
sweet pic of my engine bay
Was time to chill drink and eat
My two friends made these so I had to get my hands on one as my old one was pretty beat the new one is perfect

Thanks! Your car was nice too, clean swap minus the hose that popped on you, I think I overheard you saying the fan wasn't wired correctly or something and it got hot and that hose failed?
The uz's seem to be pretty popular in that area had a couple of them there

Hey thanks
And well I didn't really do anything except provide my own lol so the hardware could be taken off and placed on the new one lol but since they had 1 or 2 extra I wanted in on one since as you can see my old one was beat after 25+ years ha and it had gotten wet over that time too as every mk3 supra has probably had a leak in the trunk at some point or another
I peek in at your build every now and then to see where you are with it and also since I remember when the car was tt 1uz

Well, looks like I will be doing some grown up stuff soon lol I think im most likely going to put an offer in for this condo/townhouse in my area about 15 minutes from where I live now taxes are still kind of high but not as high as were I live now but that's just new jeresy
All stores and such are nearby, I'll still be fine getting to work and still know the area
After doing a walk through and all I had to see how the supra would look at it possible new home lol
(3 bed 2.5 bath garage and deck out back built in 2004)

Thanks! I should be ok money wise and I plan to hopefully in the next year or two get a mkiv supra if possible (right now it looks like I can do it but you never know what life will throw at you) (and while keeping my mk3 and 4runner)
And lol nice nice, is it still twin ct26 or n/a? sounded like it only had the v8 rumble
And lol nice nice, is it still twin ct26 or n/a? sounded like it only had the v8 rumble
Ok so the fuel system and such has been upgraded and the car is feeling great boosting to 15/16 psi on the 57 trim ct26
550's and clips
walbro fuel pump
12v mod
lexus afm
safc
mk4 motor mounts
wideband stopped working and is now fixed
did a new clutch master and slave cylinder when getting the other issue fixed
I like how he used another line than what I supplied from the dm kit this way it was more flexible and not over top of the alternator
Finished up at Gonzy Tuning over in Plainsfield, if anyone is in the northeast area I would recommend him my car was started on the night it came up and was only there a total of 7 days and I was able to drive it home with no issues about 85 miles
Also a big change on the house situation, I am no longer going with the condo but instead this

Thanks! its running great now and the clutch feels good as new. It was a goal to have at the very least a one car garage but 2 is just win win

Thank you very much its come a long way, I wish I would have known what I do now when I first started
So yesterday morning I hit 250k miles on the way to work which was pretty cool I also had an appointment to do a pull or two on a dyno just to see where I was at after doing the fuel mods
I was first up after driving there and being stuck in traffic on the highway because some vw caught fire
I like what it put down and to me a completely realistic number being my car didn't have a chance to cool down or was cold from the start
put down 360 to the rear wheels and 380 torque at 16 psi and with a normal cat, on a mustang dyno
