Default Toyota Soarer from SC 300

I sold my silvia conversion in June for $15,000.
that scene is getting played out. So I thought Ild try something new. I got this car 3 months ago and took it straight to the body shop to get rid of the ugly burgandy color and bolt up the bomex front and JIC sides and rear. After that I had Auto Boutique slam it on intrax and had the 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 Volk GT-C's installed as well. They also installed dual N-1's and intake. I stuck on the JDM emblems too.
This week I'm doing the supra TT brake upgrade. I have a Soarer front clip comming. I figured the Supra thing has been done alot but not many of these.

i really want to keep up with this project, i am interested in swinging something similar to this....do the supra brakes bolt right on....also, are you going to stick with a high revving 2.5 bottom end, or are you going to 1.5J with a 3.0 bottom and the better flowing 2.5 head? the n/a bottom ends still hold a shitload of power and are running in the 10's, so i really wouldn't see any need to swap a GTE short block in, but the idea of putting the 2.5 yamaha designed head is definitely intriguing, also because of the air metering system for the 1JZ being based off of speed density...i dunno, SC is a heavy car, and as a personal preference, i'd rather the torque of the 3.0, but to each their own, and i think its BAD ASS that you are doing this, i'd like to come see it sometimes
