UK version tail light assemblies (look like 93-6 lights but reverse light and inside red light are swapped. So now the 2 brake lights are split by the reverse light, looks wider. Ordered from UK). Engine: Turbonetics T66 turbo Garrett turbine housing changed to .70 A/R(6/14/05) HKS 264 camshafts HKS adjustable cam gears (new purple/blue version) HKS turbo system (includes stainless steel hand ported divided manifold, GT wastegate, intake and down pipes and related hardware) HKS mid pipe (eliminates remaining catalytic, also has extra bung with plug for A/F meter use for tuning) for race.

These are Advan Sienna Generation II wheels from Japan, measuring 19x9" in front, and 19x10" in the rear. These are mounted with Yokohama AVS Sports 245/35-19 front and 275/30-19 rear. I have yet to see another Supra with these rims. I think they look great because of the polished lip, mesh design and hidden bolts that can only be seen by reflection in the lip. The HKS Hipermax Damper II offers both ride height and shock dampening adjustments, provides improved handling characteristics while maintaining your vehicle’s ride comfort. Ride height is adjusted by simply rotating the 60mm spring retainer perches around the chromed steel shock body. The dual interlocking spring retainer perches prevent spring movement and unwanted ride height changes. Dampening can be adjusted at 30 settings to deliver the desired shock compression and rebound stiffness for custom tailored driving characteristics. The included anodized aluminum upper Pillowball mounts retain spring placement and improve steering response and maintains suspension geometry. The very rare HKS Tokyo Service front carbon fiber strut bar ties the front towers together. This was the first Supra in the US to install this strut bar which is now discontinued. It has adodized end rings and center badging that match the Hipermax Dampers. The end rings are designed so you can still access the dampening adjustment on top of the pillow mount with the HKS adjustment tool. I also have a rear Cusco carbon fiber strut tower brace. You can see it now through plexi-glass but this pic shows what it looks like in complete format before the stereo mods. These are the top of the line road-going brakes that Brembo offers for the Supra. This is actually the first Supra in the world to have this brake kit. Brembo took the design off of the Ferrari F50. The head engineer for Brembo used this car to design the system for all MKIV Supras. The fronts consist of two-piece 355x32mm crossdrilled 48-vane discs with aluminum bells, large 4-piston aluminum calipers and adapter brackets. Although much larger in size, the front system saves 5.0 lbs per corner over the stock brake system. They make a big difference in stopping power, pedal feel and ride quality. The rears utilize OEM calipers which have been powdercoated to match the fronts, along with Stillen crossdrilled OEM replacement discs & Stillen pads. At all four corners I have Goodridge / SMC Stainless Steel Brake Lines. In Car Electronics: Plug and play stand-alone engine management with HKS 4 bar map sensor and HKS intake temperature sensor. Sensors are connected to HKS FCON S sensor harness with custom connectors that plug into a customized Fields extension harness making it completely plug and play. The extension harness has leads for turbo timer, Defi meters, kill switch and more. Dolby digital sound system alpine amps JL subs DVD/CD touch screen neon accents Sponsors: B.Customs 1345 E.
