Got to do a shakedown with the supra last night at firebird.. First time drifting it on a legit track and it was awesome.. A ton of fun and I learned a lot and found out a lot that i need to do to the car.. I did get a few videos of it sliding around but unfortunatly my best runs were with my bud john riding shotgun and he had the camera so we didn't get any footage of those runs but none the less its proof that the supra was out sliding at the track..

Some of the future mods before next drift event in may..

-Get re-tuned by tony at ums tuning
-Get a decent p/s cooler setup.. (p/s fluid was getting a bit too hot and coming out of resevoir)
-Get a good drift setup alignment! This will be the biggest thing on the list!
-More tires..
-And a good race seat and harness.. My back is sore haha from getting thrown around in the stock seat and seat belt haha

We need those dyno numbers!

I am not sure if your car will be given a lot of street time but my Sparco Torinos are super comfortable. I drove over two hours straight in my Supra last summer and it was great. Good cushion but firm. If it makes any difference, I am 6'4" 125. Yes, a twig.

No clue on price. I got my seats on a super deal of a bunch of new parts for 800.

By the way, I told Albert this as well, get Wedge Engineering brackets. They for perfect. You will only have to drill holes to mount the seat to it.

Well when I mounted them to my Torino seats with the sliders I had to make holes to mount the sliders as it didn't have any for them. I was assuming you had sliders.

Which Sparco seats you had Albert. I have the Torino 1 and I believe there is a Torino 2?

Also ordered one of these mishimoto racing powersteering coolers as my powersteering fluid was overheating at last drift event..
