Thanks! Turbo is just a 60-trim CT26. There isn't a published website for the boost gauge modification--the gauge face was custom-built by Ron R. and the gauge itself is an Apexi mechanical.

cool video, love the song. what times did you run when you were racing the other supra? your blue looks cool, but i'm partial to the blue metalic. love your car though and your video makes me miss my five speed supra.

Nice car man & I like the vid to0 but I think I've seen your video like a year ago???

I'm very interested in the boost gauge also. A writeup should be done on that. I need a higher gauge but I don't want to go a-pillar yet and I don't want anything mounted behind the steering wheel,. Very very nice.

Holy crap, I'm famous! :biglaugh: Just kidding--thanks for pointing that out though.

The video is at least a year old, just thought I'd post it for those who hadn't seen it or are bored out their minds.

My best timeslip is a 13.5 @ 107 mph on a blown headgasket. I'm on a complete engine rebuild now and hoping for high-high 12s.

Thanks! Nope, no BHG...a couple of weeks ago was the Supra's first trip down the strip with a newly rebuilt engine. Unfortunately I am having problems with my clutch. It either got contaminated or it was a $500 clutch that was only good for 800 miles. It was slipping *way* more than my original Toyota clutch with 150k on it. :cry:
