I have also picked up a few things such as a steering spacer, power steer reservoir with AN fittings welded on and also some poly rack mounts. all from Efrain at suspicious garage Thanks buddy. well now to the bad news all good things have there bad. As I was driving from Future to Suspicious I found that my trans had no 1st or 3rd gear. I got this trans thinking it was good to go but you all know how that is. So friday I will be pulling the trans out and taking it apart to see what is going on with it. I guess there goes my coils fund wheels fund but depending on whats wrong I will be putting the marlin crawler shift fork, thrust washer and bearing plate. I hope to have more pics up this weekend and some good news on my R154 trans problem.

So this thing is actually going to be NA-T soon? I kind of thought it was down the road. for me because i wanted to see some NA tuning going on.
Definitely a good deal for you though! |

Well here is a little update I have my trans back in after the rebuild. It feels great, I just picked up some Future Fab modified knuckles and boxed s14 lower control arms and also a steering spacer. I will be installing these items when I get up with a alignment also. Here are a few pics to go along with this also some before pics of the steering angle.
Future Fab helped with getting my exhaust done also I also put my res on so that when I am ready for my front facing manifold I wont have to wory about my power steering res. I have to make it back to suspicious garage to finish the lines. Before knuckles and control arms and steering spacer I am sure I wont have full lock until I get a better offset rim but that is coming this for shits and giggles |

Well here are a few pics of my power steering set-up I think that everyone should have this done. call SUSPICIOUS GARAGE to get a quote they are badass and never have a power steering leak again unless the rack goes.
here is a pick of some more angle I still have more to go but the wheel well is in the way and kicks back a little after you turn the car off but the angle kit is really badass the car is still very drivable feels great on the freeway. |

I also picked up a set of tein superdrifts and a set of work cr-kais 18's in the back 17's up front thanks pat. I have also put a silvia front on that i pieced together hella cheap I have to put my pignose lip on but that wont be tell next week since I am going out of town this weekend. I still need to roll one front fender work on the rear fenders a little more and put some adjustable arms in the rear. but I hope to have all that done in the next month and then the car will be going off to paint and the wheels will be getting powder coated. I want to thank my friends that helped the past few weeks Drama, Efrain, Pat, Claire, Alex thanks I have the car back at home so I will be putting the dash back in and cleaning the interior up. |

So I had some time today and I put my front fenders and bumper back on and some other things. I still need to get a hood, corner lights and a silvia grill. I sent my wheels off to powder coating today they should be done by monday.
All put away untill I am ready to put the door panels back on and finish getting the fenders bolted on. |

A supra is a really heavy car at 3400 pounds and a 240 2600 pounds so this motor feels really good in this car. I have driven lots of supras and they are not a car to just go out and drift or road race.
