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 ![]()
