Wow, I didn't realize it would run quite that much, but like you said it's still cheaper than the Willwood kits. I'm sure you will like the performance from them definitely though.

About how much have you spent on everything for the cobra brake swap, if you don't mind me asking? Also, you need 17" wheels to clear these brakes right?

Haha, Thanks! I love the interior in the car including the color. Everyone bashes the burgundy, but if it's been taken care of it's a beautiful color and I think it goes well with the silver. Everyone is always impressed with how clean the outside of the car is, and then I open the door and it...

Nice, I did notice that they had gone away pretty much right after I did mine. Glad to hear they are back up. So did you do a projector set up on your firebird?

Thanks! Sorry to hear that about the 4Runner, that's a shame. How many miles were on it? For the most part 4Runners are just about bullet proof. Mine's got 160k and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country in a moments notice. I think the heat soak issue is either the injectors ever...

Very nice. I really like those years of Mercedes with that style of headlights. I think they look great. I'm sure with that power you won't have any worries merging onto the interstate haha. I've got a black 4Runner and it's a pain to keep it clean, so I feel your pain. The good thing about it...

Very nice, the car looks really clean, especially the interior. Whats it got under the hood? Supercharged V8? I love black cars, they look great when they're clean, but they're such a pain to keep clean. Do you still have the SC? I remember seeing you post pictures of it in one of your threads...

Thanks! I'm really happy with the way it came out. I was worried that it's be too loud, but I think it's perfect, just slightly louder than stock. I think the hushpower resonator makes a good bit of difference in the sound level along with the fact that I got the longest magnaflow that would fit...

Wow, she is absolutely beautiful. Nice find! I really like the look of the stock 5 spoke wheels on there. I might need to go and find some for my car to "upgrade from the sawblades". They give the car a much more modern look without being too flashy.

Sorry I never updated this to anyone that was following, and thanks to those that helped me with suggestions along the way. Here's a few videos and pictures of the finished system. I got this all put together in April, I just didn't have time to upload anything about it until now. Here's a few...

Well I didn't have any decent videos of the exhaust on my phone, so I went out and took a couple last night. They aren't the best, but they'll have to do for now. The first on is from idle to about 6k rpm in first through third from inside the car. (You'll have to click on them to play them.)...

Well yeah, there's still a crazy mark up on it, but I was honestly expecting more.

Thanks!! I'm not a Bama fan, but not an Auburn fan either... I'm probably the only one in the state that'll say that. Thanks! I'm glad everyone likes these sort of threads. It's good to know I'm not the only one. I definitely lovingly take car of this car. I would say the projectors were worth...

I've got an 87 and mine are all plastic I'm 99% sure. It must have been an option for the cars that came with the polished wheels from the factory or so. I would definitely try and clear them yourself before paying a shop $200 to do it, that's ridiculous.

Ah, that's what I thought, that the center part was the only exposed carbon fiber part, but I wasn't sure if the pictures were deceiving me or not. The car looks great like that, it definitely adds a different touch too, I don't think I've ever seen another car done like that, let alone a MK3.

The new body work looks great! Is the whole hood carbon fiber or just the center part?

Thanks, that first sentence is exactly my plan for the car. Mostly original with a few tasteful upgrades. Yeah I need to look into the hot start issue with the injectors and fuel pressure regulator. That's about all that is left that I haven't tested/replaced. Thanks! I actually printed out...

Wow, that looks great. Now I'm considering that on my car. How did they get the center cap so shiny?

Thanks for reading the whole thing! Sometime's I wish it was a Turbo, but I'm happy with it either way. I probably won't ever turbo this car, I'll just leave it stock, but one day I'll own a turbo MK3. Yeah the heat soak thing isn't that bad, mostly a nuisance and can be kinda embarrassing. I...

Yeah, I've kinda run out of cheaper things to do to the Supra for the time being. I wish bumpers weren't so expensive, I really like the way a plate/hybrid bumper looks on the 4Runners. All those painted pieces look great. The issue with painting here is the humidity most of the year. It'll turn...
