What a useful too, can you share it with us? Have a nice day.
didn't mean to get you all worked up, Actually I know quite alot about 2JZ and MKIV's,I only own 5 of them,post the actual dyno results and people may stop making comments on something they actually know alot about,especially on supraforums

Here are some pictures for those that want to see it. These pics were before the big brake upgrade and some other exterior enhancements. It will be on Hot Rod magazine soon!

Been posted already on the other forums, just not here. I'm not saying you don't know a lot about Supras I'm sure you do. But you cannot justify the size of something based on a picture on the internet. I own several Supras as well so you and I do know the formula to make power, its understood. Have a good one.

Then on the way home there was a group of about 8 more sport bikes and we were with them all the way neck and neck from a roll up to about 120 mph and we ran up on another car so had to slow down. It is amazing how the car pulls when the turbo spools up. And best part was it was only set at about 600 to 700 hp.Once the chassis is dialed in and slicks on it, it should run very well. I tried to get more pics but couldnt really take any good ones.The power this 6 cyl makes is really unbelieveable. It takes off like a rocket ship from 70 mph.
Thanks for the nice remarks. It was a cool bunch to cruise with.

The sport bikes guys weren't quite surprised they got pulled on by a 41 year old Camaro. Never seen that happen before. They were a cool bunch and brave! One of them turned sideways while riding and bowed down with both hands off the bike! Nuts!

I just think when you can see the smaller exhaust pipe going into a bigger tip it just looks funny.

damn ! ill take one! only thing id change is the exhaust... everything else is super tight and clean.. the stance and look is KILLER... and then the exhaust tips just hangs down 1/4 inch too much and stick out 1/2 inch too long... its very import to have aftermarket parts "advertized" but on a 1. gen i think less is more

suggestions you say.. i would tuck two brushed or ceramic coaled 3 or 3.5 inch tailpipes and end them with a slant cut turndown... or let them exit thru the lower rear quarter

I'll post up some once the magazine is released. They really don't want me to give it too much exposure till it hits the newsstands.

Agreed. The exhaust just doesn't flow with the car's lines. The one picture makes it look like the angle the exhaust makes doesn't parallel the angle of the rear quarter. Maybe it's the picture though.

Another suggestion if you'd prefer to not cut on the car any more. Simple and sweet turn downs right behind the rear wheels. No tips just use stainless that won't rust or corrode. I say this because the car does not need any tips to look good. It has so much else going for it why take that attention away on exhaust tips? I'll be looking for the Hot Rod issue. Any idea on which month?
