Video by request. Quick walk around of the car before much was done. More videos to come...

Just looked it up: 2013 ECTA Race Schedule Posted on September 24, 2012 Racing dates for the 2013 season for the Ohio Mile. April 27-28 June 8-9 July 6-7 Sept 28-29 I would be down to make the July/Sept runs. The shootout is a must go on my list, but other than that im looking for something to do other than terrorize the local tracks

when is the next ohio mile? If my car is done and I can get a chute on fast enough, i may be interested in going as well

finally got a chance to start poking around and getting stuff ready to put together. I was skeptical of how much the cage helps, but it seems to keep the car pretty rigid. I put a jack on the left A arm, and the whole front end came up at the same level.... http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/226787_10100536437412312_1016850296_n.jpg

texas isnt an option for this year for me. Hopefully next year

Got these in the mail today Nice and Shiny! http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/394826_10100530828238142_1364774967_n.jpg

I will hold you to it! I have no idea where to source a chute either, but thats mostly because that stuff is so far down the road its not worth looking at. I dont even have the motor in the car yet!

It was a redline (turbo 2.0 LNF). I de-badged the car, so it can be a little confusing. The wind deflector does say "redline" on it though. I had the usual bolt ons plus a Garrett 2871 on it. It was a fun car, but all the owners are all 50 and love the "stock performance" So it had no aftermarket :/ Dyno vid with the new turbo.. mods in video desc. I am pretty well known on skyroadster.com. same user name

did you make your chute mount? I plan to need one this year, but I know nothing about how to set one up lol That intake mani looks pretty close to the hood! Just need some 97-98 headlights to finish off the thug life front end

^^ Yup that is a little different design, but itll work

I would link it, but you have to register to see it. Videos will be coming along soon and I hope to be rolling by summer. I will throw some updates on youtube once I get it the new chassis settled. The end goal......this: Here is a link to my personal YT. Keep an eye out here... updates coming soon! (http://www.youtube.com/user/miller11386?feature=mhee)

Finally got a 1993 supra chassis home... so now the work begins..... I figured I would post up some of the items that have been piled up and start what is my build thread... Its a bit of a repeat from my intro, but here it is anyway.... After saying goodbye to this: http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/600385_10100354935673252_940315465_n.jpg http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/283954_10100386426804772_974448414_n.jpg I got this from NJ: http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/282992_10100517001042952_1908628621_n.jpg http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/199685_10100517001861312_848629672_n.jpg Going to fill it up with this: http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/215481_10100382380743112_477861414_n.jpg http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/296585_10100412017775262_1345314758_n.jpg http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/64635_10100497359160442_2121572116_n.jpg sitting patiently: http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/405093_10100486389279172_2060080027_n.jpg http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/196022_395640710517748_1896238849_n.jpg

I am a corvette fan, however I can say that this will give the C4 a run for its money as the ugliest corvette ever made. I am glad that the C6's should drop in price at least!

SP calls them the "boost brace" I am talking about the plate steel brackets to go between an intercooler and an intercooler pipe so the rubber couplers dont blow off under high boost. same with a throttle body and intercooler pipe. Not sure if I need to go that far yet or not. Like I said either way I need my charge pipes redone. So I will be down in the spring... I have a lot to do before then though!

are you doing intercooler tie in brackets as well? I know I will need some work done here when i finally get it all together. If nothing else, get some good tig welds over the cobbled ones that are on the IC tubes

Not sure about the first, but the last I should be able to make. How is the track conditions at national trail? Decent shutdown? Well Prepped?

I dont think they are the factory studs in the head. The runner at cyl 6 hits the stud underneath before the manifold is seated to the head. It doesn't surprise me because half the bolt holes on the motor have been stripped and re-tapped. One is a bolt on the manifold! lol.

^^and it is really a pita to get on and off! I have to buy some new shorter studs or cut the ones I have.

Thanks for the warm words. I will do my best to update as I go. Going to get one this weekend. As long as the seller doesn't get cold feet, I should be able to get it home Saturday evening. Doesn't matter much though. Still waiting on all the black Friday goodies to arrive so I can start the wiring and get everything set. Yes sir Near exit 99 on SR77

I have been wanting to get in the cbus scene more this year and with my new project coming up, I figured no time like the present. I have started working on this for quite some time, and I cant wait to get the project together. My project car is a '93 Supra. I have built this thing backwards (buying almost all the parts before I even have a car)... I plan to pick up a roller this coming weekend, so hopefully I will have some good roller updates soon! Anyway more of where I came from... I had a saturn sky that I had some simple bolt ons and made some decent power for what it was. The 2.0L turbo (swapped with a garrett 2871) made 350whp and 380lbft. I took this car all over the country, anywhere from SC to Toronto Canada and all across southern ohio with the hills and curves. Here is the dyno vid from when it was tuned in SC: The day I sold the car: http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/255463_10100437063268892_1217441097_n.jpg The last local car show I had the car at with my fathers C6: http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/426605_10100386299090712_1495125553_n.jpg I began to hang out with some of the locals in boardman who had evos and other dsms... some of the 500whp cars made me want more power.. unfortunately the sky has a ton of limitations being a newer DI motor and mostly older owners. I ended up becoming bored with the car and sold it late this year. I finally decided that I want to have a supra. Problem is, living in ohio, Supra's are about as common as finding bigfoot riding a unicorn. So I have started amassing parts and have been looking for a car for a while... more on this later. I knew from the beginning that I would be building it from the ground up. So rather than trying to find a car and mod it from there, I have decided to go the pile o' parts and roller approach... Anyway I have been reading an watching some threads all over the supra forums on what people have been doing with their cars and I made some goals. I want over 600whp on pump and over 1000whp on e85. However I am really not too hung up on the dyno numbers. Overall I just want it to be safe, reliable, street-able, and untouchable on the highway. I did the nimble quick corner hugging with my sky. And so the quest for parts began... I started out pretty strong with a motor, turbo, and a lot of the engine bay components from a car that was being parted out. The motor has zero miles on it and has never been fired since it was built. Unfortunately the motor had a rough start. When I got it, it was unbelievable how much corrosion it had picked up. http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s480x480/424796_10100498280284502_24605923_n.jpg So I got to work sanding and painting the block and making it semi presentable. http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/559076_10100392441356562_97523921_n.jpg After that I mocked up the turbo kit that I got in the motor deal. http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/561106_10100417983035832_712051052_n.jpg http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/296585_10100412017775262_1345314758_n.jpg It is a Garrett 4708 (journal bearing) with a greddy manifold and hks WG. The manifold is a T4 and there was a home-made adapter flange that raised the turbo up to make it stick out of a custom hood. As appealing as it is to have the compressor housing hanging out of the hood, I plan to drive the car on the street... so I dont think it would be the best setup for my purpose. I took it all back off and found a nice T6 manifold w. a tial 60mm wg (thanks Alex) and mocked it up. http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/405093_10100486389279172_2060080027_n.jpg I have modified the water neck to work, and now have to work on the hardware and studs to make it bolt up properly I have a few things to button up on it. After the engine, I need a good trans. I had been watching on the forums, but was unable to find one at a decent price. I was able to work out a deal with a JDM importing company and I took the drive to NY to pick up this little guy: http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/p206x206/404149_10100393880846812_1706707111_n.jpg The OE clutch in this trans looks brand new... So I am hoping that a quick fluid swap, and she will be ready to go. Intake manifold... picked one up from Z-Gad and began working on it to suit my needs. http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/75124_10100439158265502_230617875_n.jpg I have already filled the holes on the plenum and am working to get it polished up... still a work in progress. I got pcs and parts of an NX kit, so I decided to slap those on the bottom of the runners and powdercoat it black. The oil stains were just not appealing, so I figured black runners would be better than the alternative. http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/577124_10100452751065422_312100303_n.jpg I have been picking up odds and ends along the way. CCW's, 4" Exhaust, HKS triple clutch, muffler, some polished valve covers, starter, motor mounts and transmission mount, 6 speed differential, etc. http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/229927_10100459148559792_2132681555_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/17116_10100462462199232_2016346376_n.jpg http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/252205_10100495668728082_911690892_n.jpg Black Friday put a new dimension in the project. I went ahead and got a pair of Tial Q's from the MVP BF sale, and went full out and picked up some FIC 2150s as well as a full pro-efi setup with all the bells and whistles. All of this has lead back to one thing... I still do not have a car to slap all these parts in! Hoping to fix this issue this coming weekend. The goal is to break the motor in and be able to have the car running by spring. Probably get it tuned late spring/early summer and see what it will do. I hope to come down this summer and see what Columbus car scene has to offer. Sorry for the long thread, Thanks if you took the time to read it all!
