That's a fine green beast you have there, Anthony. Welcome to the forum. And don't worry about your spelling, there are worse offenders on the net and here, trust me. Post pics of the car whole car when you can.

Good to see another supra owner my age getting into the drift scene. Welcome to SM and congratulations on buying a supra! Before you consider drifting with your heavy n/a i want you to realize the less power you have to get you into a drift and keep you in it the more stress you will be putting on the body and suspension. I would also like to hear more about how you did your head lights those are tight!

Im kinda suprised your headlight shadow is so precise considering it looks liek you just took some fog lights and stuck them in there. Wheres the write up?

I like the color too. Now just get some wheel spacers and the car would look tits.

Not hating on the headlights, it just looks like it has the potential to be done in a sketchy manner. Ususlly those type of headlights dont have the cutoff line yours do though. Any comparisons to OEM hids in terms of brightness and visibility?

there 6000k so that would be around the brightness of the hids off bmw. if i were to redign them id probably do it much more neater and grind the welds make it really smooth and make a clear plastic cover to protect the projectors from rocks lots of ideas how to do that but none seem to effecient

i heard you dont want sway bars for drifting, it doesnt let you go sideways as much?
anyways, if ur into drifting, you should look into steering angle http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?106777-Steering-Rack-Spacer-Question
Im planning on doing that too lol.
Click to expand...

correct sway bars will help keep your wheels planted on the ground but since i only have front sways i can still wipe out the back. plus sliding can be forced even if you have grip! lol i will definatly need more angle thanks man
