She is finally down on her own two feet!! (hams old supra)

It will stay two tone for the next few years yes. I'm going to paint match the front bumper in the next month or so once the front lip is on, and that's how it will stay for now.
Johnd - thanks, it was very time consuming trying to get the 4" exhaust just right for my setup and muffler. The old 4" down pipe I had gave me less then 2" if ground clearance so when I backed the car out of the garage it scraped. With this new exhaust, I have almost 4" at the lowest point, so I'm happy with how it turned out.

hmmmm??? Was there a change of mind???
mk3_7m - LOL!!! Good eye, no one has caught on yet. Yes, had a slight change of heart. Its a BW S375 with a t6 turbine housing. Should be a bit more street friendly then the GT47 that was originally on the car.
Thanks for all the compliments guys! Its at the point now where I can actually drive the car. I just have to get insurance put on it and then start tuning. I might wait and get the bumper paint matched first, but we'll see.

Figured Id put a quick update up, its been a long journey but the car is getting closer and closer. Here it is before the snow came :
And for good measure, we tested out the line lock. The wife was scared she was going to get hit with a rock so she was kind of hiding in the garage.

Its been a long week of late nights trying to get the car ready for the first test and tune this year. Its going to be right down to the wire I figure, but hopefully we will make it. I got the car down and set the ride height tonight with the new radial setup. I also started to play with the 2 step tonight as well. I need to do a bit more testing with it, but it looks like it might work out instead of using nitrous to spool the turbo. At least I think it will, but I guess we will see how the first test and tune goes.

that was a really clean car, but I like how the engine bay looks, btw nice manitoba plates good to see other canadians doing nice builds. You basically rebuilt this thing for the drag strip instead of the street then?
It sees the streets as well. I have the zigens still that I throw on to go play once and awhile.
Few pics from yesturday.
Getting setup for the day:
Passed tech with flying colours!
Pit crew:
And after the diff exploded. Had to tow it backwards so the diff didnt bind up:
Car ended up going 10.2 with a 1.31 60' first pass of the trailer on only 19lbs of boost. Second pass we sheared the pinion off at the flange and trashed the diff. Car definitely had a mid 9 second pass in it if we had the chance to get the boost up.

thats sick, yeah I definately like the look of the zigens with the two-tone paint, but you need steelies for drag racing. What you doing for a differential now, aftermarket I take it? That's crazy fast that anti-lag must make a hell of a difference. I actually thought about a bee-r rev limiter for my car but I heard they like to destroy turbos.
Not to sure on the diff as of right now. I need to see how this one broke and why and go from there. The car is setup really well and is hooking hard. I think the 1.31 60' we did was just to much for this diff. I might start looking into another IRS setup, possibly an 8.8 or 9" IRS.
massive off the line torq shears them and wonte harm the gears at all
but ya had to toe it back word's so it shows there no bind of gears (cracked carrie or massize jam from teeth and what not) since when ya go back words it push's the pinon gear out words.
only other thing is your diff is set up to tight and the pinon got to hot
