The Supra hobby took a hiatus from around around 2003 to 2008. I was busy putting this together:

In 2008, after 5 years, I returned to the Supra. Neglected, it looked like this:

The Supra needed a lot of attention and TLC. To start the rehab process, I needed to make sure the car ran properly. Tuning began with the VPC and S-AFC. At 14 lbs of boost, the Supra was able to put down 365 rwhp and 373 lbft torque

Tuning became cumbersome with the VPC and S-AFC. In 2009, the Supra went stand alone.

In October 2009, the Supra was sent to Makito of Seven Apple for a complete paint job. I was trying to get it done by SILV. I decided not to go, so I asked him to take his time.

Since the HREs 545 wheels look too small and sunk in...the SSR MS1 is the wheel of choice

Hmmm...the 19x9.5+24 SSR MS1 is sunk in as well.
