great looking car, as all mk4's are... so whats done to it? or is it a secret??? jp

there's a bunch 'o stuff, still running stock twins, apexi hybrid FMIC, aem dry-flo filter, tanabe downpipe, custom cat-back, hks turbo timer, apexi safc2, G-Force ECU, aem wideband, 19" Volk TE37's +22 all four, nitto 555 tires, 235FR- 275RR, TRD/RMM wing, authentic Wings west front lip, ebc green stuff brake pads, polished upper rad pipe, trd rad cap, royal purple oil, (expensive ass)ngk plugs, oem oil filter, uhh... umm... HKS SSQV, HKS adjustable cam gears, and thats what i can think of at the moment..

Nice looking Supra!

How wide are your rims? How much boost are you running?

Note there are pads that stop much better than ebc greenstuff.

8.5 in the front, and 9.5 in the rear, running 18psi, and i know there are better pads out there, but i just wanted decent lower-dust pads for a good price..

i love it when mk4's are kept clean and simple like ur car

did u do all the mods urself or did it came with the car?

I agree it looks extremely good for a stock(as far as looks except rims) even though I do like bodykits. Btw why did you get skinnier tires they get less traction.

Oem tt rims are 8" wide in the front, and 9.5" wide in the rear. I'm curious: why did you get 1/2" wider rims in the front, but keep the rear with the same as stock?

Also, how much boost are you running?

says he's running 18psi. and prob wasnt paying to much attention to width comparison when he bought them. Looks nice man, good job.

I hope he's running a few gallons of race fuel mixed with every tank of 93 pump...

I agree that's the case. My point is that you do actually NEED to pay attention to how you change the Toyota design. The handling and performance balance will be upset not only be upset when disproportionately upgrade your rim size, but also when you increase your boost/hp in a rear wheel drive car. Putting wider rims & tires on the front can increase tendency to oversteer. Increasing rwhp without also increasing rear wheel rim & tire width can further increase oversteer in certain driving conditions. Again, any design change you make to this well-engineered gt sportscar needs to be deliberate and well-thought-out. All imho fwiw ymmv...

Agreed
