After 6 months trying to find a built low mileage '98 or Hardtop to buy to avoid modifying either of my two stock Supras, I took a deep breath and there's no looking back. While it is tough modifying such a nice stock Supra, I also own a bone stock '93 Hardtop with 22k miles that will remain untouched.

Goal of this build is to create approximately 700 WHP on E85 with a focus on creating the quickest spool - most area under the dyno curve. Build is being done in Rock Hill by a private party tuner who is on here and selectively takes jobs on. Thanks to Brent (NC_SilverStreak_94) for referring me to Bryan as he does outstanding work and attention to detal!

Thanks for the positive comments & Nick--not sure what will be brought to TX next year. Might be the TTG, but hope to be able to bring it.

Went and saw the car today and the turbo is mounted and clutch, TRD LSD and intercooler piping are installed. Waiting for a few last parts to arrive and trying to locate an installer near Rock Hill to build the custom sub/amp box. Shouldn't be too far away from completion.
