Nice car, not sure but I think the is300 has a variant of that automatic. Many guys that do 5 speed swaps use the manual out of that car too. Do you live here in Louisville?

Also would fuel delivery be an issue if I went with more boost? on the stock psi guage 8psi is it's max, and it's scary when it gets above 3k rpm and full throttle.

yah it safe the stock ecu will compinsate for the extra boost as long as you dont get crazy and jack that ---- to the moon, ie just a few more lbs of boost will be a big difference, dont buy a embc, just geta mbc

I say toss the seats and get some nice aftermarket buckets and nice boost gauge and you should be set. That Supra looks mean the way it is now. Those look like some old school jdm rims. Maybe some old Volks or Works?

yeah, the wheels are fugly as sin. Remind me of those 93ish Grand Prix wheels. hard to clean and just flat ugly. I have some motegi gunmetal wheels in the garage, w/ universal lugs but doubt they will fit..

I didn't think they were all that bad. Kinda go with the age of the car. I'm not big on new looking wheels on older cars. Just my preference.

if you think thats fast you're crazy :o

it'd be a lot faster if you didn't have such a little muffler on it.

put a bigger muffler and boost controller on it and find some mustang IIs to pick on

congrats on the car, i've been looking for one for the last month. i'm looking for a shell in good shape, but i don't want to pay what people here are asking.

oh and i joined a few supra forums and they all say that daily driving a supra is not that easy. it seems like they always break down.
if i ever get one it'll be my daily driver, but i just wanted to warn you.
