Full Body Kit and Spoiler

Now, I'm not sure if it has a downpipe on it or not yet but I'll have my Brother check it out. The car has ~53000 miles on it so I know that the 60K maintenance should be done. The timing belt will be a perfect time to change out with the Cam gears. In your experience is there anything I should be looking for or thinking about replacing other then the standard maintenance items? I really can't wait to get started on the car. There are some mustang's, vette's, viper's, M3's and even a lambo that I have a little beef with Now I know there are a few things that need to be done before I'm running with the big boys but I also know the the 2jz is one of, if not the most versatile platform there is. Anyways, I apologize for the wierd post times. Still in Iraq, but I will be home in time for Christmas!
If coolant wasn't changed regularly (according to the oem maintenance schedule), you theoretically could change out your water pump. Other than that (and even that isn't a problem if it's been properly maintained), it's a rock. I know you'll enjoy driving it and upgrading it too.

P.S. Be careful about traction with those 19" rims - having enough sidewall height is critical. If you're running low profile rear tires, don't expect it to do much more than spin when you apply the accelerator.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
