Wow Yama, awesome look.

I just have a question about the radiator.
Are you thinkig to get a bigger one?

It would be probably better to change it for a bigger one. Huge FMIC usually block the air flow and if you live in a hot place, it could be dangerous.
In Spain we use to install big radiators like Fluidyne 'cause it's very hot in summer. It's one of our 1st mods

Last thing I got some months ago.

Blitz air intake:


I also have a Greddy 4row intercooler and TRD Limited slip differential. I'll post pictures later.

I have ordered too a set of discs for my clutch. It's a ceramic Exedy Stage IV with lightweight flywheel.

Very nice Fenix, loving the Supra TT. <3 And yeah, I'll be putting on a bigger radiator pretty soon. Runs a bit hotter with the FMIC.

Sorry for the super late reply, was busy through out the entirety of last week. Ended up getting some decent footage over the weekend though, so put together the video. It's about six minutes, enjoy.

Also, car put down 500bhp and 400awhp/ft-lb. Spools ridiculously fast, really fun street car and pulls damn hard. Can't quite capture torque, haha.

That was great George. Really great. Love the sound. Looks even better in motion.

[Yama]

Thanks guys, appreciate it! I'm in love with this thing.

[Fenix]

Pretty cool. I love the look of your car.

I received bad new. The gouvernment has changed the laws about car's modifications or tuning... Now if you even change tha air filter you'll need an engineer study with a document from the oficial garage (Toyota in my case) explaining all the installation. It's all about of money of course... But I'll have some deals with this shit, I think next month I'll have everything done.

Axm just messed his pants.

Finally got my Peugeot yesterday, I'll take some pictures soon. It's looks really good for it's age, just a minor dent that will probably pull out without any problems.

Whenever I see one IRL, which is more often then you'd think for California, I chase it down and follow it however long it takes until I can yell out my window "Where's Doc?!" Or anything to the effect of BTTF quotes.
Im usually met with annoyance. But once a guy stopped with me and we chatted about the car. Even let me sit in it. Felt like gold.
It will be mine.. oh yes.. It will be mine.

Oh yeah Fenix, I forgot to reply. After running her with the FMIC it was getting dangerously hot, you were spot on.

Ordered up an aftermarket Dual-Pass Radiator, much bigger! Should take care of it, will be here Wednesday.

Summer sucks for turbo cars

If the engine still being HOT your final solution should be the big radiator.

Does the VR4 have an oil cooler?
The Supra does not have it :(

Yeah, they come with one stock.

Oh and judging by your pics (intake), now I see why so many Supra's at the track are missing their front right headlight.

In a couple more weeks ill be ordering my exhaust. Ive decided which catback I wanna go with and im super pumped to get it. I'll be installing it myself at a local dyi shop with support from a friend. After that ill be going up to L.A to visit a Cooper exclusive shop to install my SC pulley, do a dyno and other maintanience. Also ill be getting a few other goodies. SC air diverter that will direct more air properly through the hood scoop to the intercooler. A shorty antena for the top for looks. Also thinking on a 40k ignition coil pack. Thoughts on that?

Been working alot harder recently to afford this stuff. Very excited for July.
