Nice grill. You need to lower it, and if it's lowered, then lower it more.

It's lowered. Any lower and I'll be hitting bump stops and bottoming out left and right.
I was already having camber issues with Eibach Pro-Kits (1.5") and KYB AGX's.
I tried Progress Sport (1.7") and they were way too stiff.
The next step would be Eibach Sportlines (1.9") which are regarded as crap, or coilovers ($$$).

BTW, which car did the FWD SR20DET come from? Overseas Bluebird? GTi-R?

yeah... internals are quite different... and the little things like the mounts... then it goes all the way down the tranny... lots of headaches if you ask me. :( then again... what swap isnt. :confused:

lots of people with NA supras always ask this question... and most of them just end up selling the car and buying the turbo model.

We have Super 94 at sunoco here in cleveland...$1.89 a gallon.

Too bad I dont have the SR to put that premium to good use.

Because the 2JZGE is a worthless piece of poop. A turbo kit on that thing will not be near as impressive as an honest 2JZGTE. Those motors don't lend themselves easily to swapping either. Plus you'll spend a fortune of a real turbo motor. Just buy the car and leave it alone ;)

Btw, you what turbo and boost level were you running to be using a race gas mix? If the motor was esentially stock then you had some serious issues. No way you should need that.

Stock boost was 7psi...i'm pushing 12psi with no signs of knock
