Then I eliminated the brake dust issue with some Wearever brake pads and did a flush with some ATE Super Blue.

One thing I always hated was the chrome pogo stick shifter lever so I added more threads to the shift **** to sink it down to the shifter base.

Much better

Then came the last last of the good stuff!!!

PPE headers with Borla full exhaust

BC Racing BR series coil overs with Swift 16K/12K springs and extenders for the damper *****.

Figs Mega Arms, Figs Toe Links powder coated dark grey, Figs Super Pro FLCA toe correcting bushings and a Cusco front strut bar.

! I installed it all at the same time then did an alignment.

Head ports with 10mm worth of material to gasket match! Saving the port work for another time..maybe

Figs/Super Pro FLCA bushing vs stock

I painted the tips and back of the Borla mufflers matte black for that stealth OEM look

Figs Toe Links

BCR damper adjustment trunk extensions

Cusco front strut bar

Next was a few more interior upgrades.

Matching OEM e-brake pedal from Nigel-JDM parts and Figs foot plate

I then decided it was about time to get rid of the annoying TPMS light. I built my version of a TPMS pipe bomb.

I like to build them with threaded caps so I can get the sensors out if I ever need to without having to cut the pipe open.

I think I'll paint it matte black

Right now I'm in the process of changing the front grill and painting *the chrome emblems. I'm also waiting on the Figs/RB 2 piece front rotors to arrive. I'll update the thread once those installs are completed.

shadowisf , thanks man. I love your car, as I mentioned I originally started to purchase and SGM. Every time I look at your car it makes me wonder if I would have liked it more then the MM. But then I look at my car and smile

JDMV8, DCoolBeans, ISFSteve, Darbs242, EGI IS350, MKIV98TT and iH8RICERZ

Thanks you guys for the complements, its really nice to see that everyone likes the car. I love the sense of community here.

vbb- I'm waiting for a part to finish a mod on an M5 and then both cars will be back to the Dyno. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks. I'll be sure to update you guys with results.

VtotheJ- I would love to get a meet going for all us Northeast guys. It's tough with most of us non NY/NJ guys being so spread out and so few of us. We will make it happen though!

Vais Tech. is exactly what you want. I recommend the ML+ version though.

You will get the nav unlock, album art and full iPod control on screen.

Laoreflxzn- my car will be there, we will have to go for a ride so you can preview your future mods

g35cali- I'll have to get some good pics of the car. Still learning how to use my DSLR but I'll do my best

Digger08-Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add that one to the list....There is always more to do 

iH8RICERZ- For the TPMS light I wish it where that easy but you have 3 warnings. One of them being the information display.*

Primecut- Nice idea, never thought of that approach, much more compact.

KJH- Yea, big builds are pretty normal for me. It's what I do, I have a few really nice major builds going for customers right now.

The Supra went from an pretty rough rolling chassis to 857whp monster in one shot.

laobo979- We need to meet at NED. I still haven't seen your car off the winter wheels or your boys ISF.

I don't think I need to reply to the TMPS bomb since those questions have been well answered. I do get a kick out of it though. All these expensive parts and everyone loves the $30 Home Depot PVC pipe contraption Wait till it gets a custome paint job, you guys will be in heaven
