Pics: Supra Clean ride
95 6 Spd Targa Top. Titan Copper paint job. Stripped the car to a shell and rebuilt it from scratch. Brand new shortblock and head (stock), 264 cams, valvesprings, retainers. Tilton Clutch Gt40-67 turbo on a custom turbo kit using the ebay manifold modified, Virtual Works Intake Manifold and Titan Fuel system. HKS Hipermax coilovers, Titan Swaybars, CCW road race wheel package, Mazworx rollcage and Sparco Milanos etc. I've still got a Sparco steering wheel, Titan Line Lock Kit and NX kit to get installed along with a few more dress up items under the hood. I probably missed a bunch of modifications, at this point it's even hard for me to remember.

jesus christ that's a clean engine bay
is it just me, or is the front end of these cars really long?? From that one picture, it looks like the hood is huge, is in actually, or just the way it was shot?
Also, this may be a dumb question. It does't have a front strut tower brace. From what I understand, they do help a bit, so is there a reason he doesn't have one? I can see that the driver side strut tower mounting bolts are covered, so is that the reason? or is there another one?

My god...Incredible
About the strut bars, with the a70 and a80 chasis, flex is not that big of a problem in the front. With the targa option and since it is a hatchback, the body flexes in the rear mostly. Targa bars, hatch bars, floor bars etc. are more commonly used.
