I thought you put a new clutch in this thing last year, why would it skip? Just from abuse, design limitation, or do you have enough miles on it already that its time?

Ebay clutch ftl, haha. Nice on turnin the boost up!

All I bought was a chinabay 6 puck disk, reused stock pressure plate. Just a cheapo setup because this tranny can't take too much power anyway. The clutch is already pretty close to its limit. It's a good thing really cuz it helps prevent me from running enough power to grenade the stock tranny.

Well the wedding is over, and the new house is built. Still have a lot of crap on my plate but hopefully can start to tinker on the car a little bit now.

So since I've been stuck in North Carolina for the last week, I've had a lot of time to think about what I want to do next. What I've decided is I'm currently real happy with the way the car is running, and still fairly satisfied with it's current power level. So rather than spend a bunch of money to make it faster, I've decided I'm going to instead start working on its appearance. So I started looking at numerous pictures to basically find a setup I like and to try and copy. I want it to look nice, yet still keep it simple clean and well fitting, nothing over the top. So with that being said, here's what I've decided on.

- OEM 97+ side skirts and rear bumper.
- WISE front lip on my 92 front bumper.
- Trunk lip spoiler
- Paint Job (same color, or maybe 1 shade darker)

Here's a pic of the car I'm basically copying.

Couple other cars with same lip and similar look I'm going for:

This one look sharp, I approve!

It could just be a better pic, but I think I like this one the best.

lol i didn't like that one, I liked the first car you linked too.

Gonna look so seksi!!

^ yes I like this car also. The rear spoiler is one of the things I like best and think it's better then the stock lip spoiler

Hey im thinking about getting a n/a 2j to swap into the mustang. Just wanted to talk to you about your car and you megasquirt and if thaeres anything you would change. Pm me or let me know on here either way

**Halon** · 07-15-2012

I'm not going to be the best one to talk about MS to, I struggled to get it going on this car and I still don't understand a lot of it. Tachyon on here probably knows much more than me.

Got a set of FD rims for $150 that will be used for my drag setup. They are the lighter (non-reinforced) version which should make for a pretty nice poor man's drag setup. Apparently they weigh 13.8lbs each (15.2 if they were the reinforced). Will eventually get some slicks mounted on them. Thanks for the rims Nick (Cornfed2.4).

Here's a pic of Supra who used these for a poor man's drag setup.

Small update.

Was bored last night so decided to install the 2nd 255hp. Everything appears to be working fine, and fits great. The Y that I bought, not really liking it because my hoses had to go all loopy just to ensure no kinks. So will probably rework it this winter.

Also went over to Kerry's today to swap springs with him. Suspension is now stock Supra springs all around, with some new Bilstein shocks. It's known as an excellent poor mans suspension setup for an SC. Car sits a little higher than it used to now (had eibachs before), but about 1" lower than stock. Should be perfect once I get some side skirts and lips put on the bumpers. Also leaves room for some more rubber. Car feels like a "Lexus" now with this suspension, I'm loving it so far. The old shocks were trash.
