What to Do??? (evil thourghts)

My brother has decided to bugger off O/S for a month to live it up in Ibiza and the like and whilst he is away has left his Supra in my care (for want of a better word)
Now... whilst my brother loves this car to bits I have always been the driving force about what happens in terms of modifications.
ie. Origonally he wanted a Statesman, I found him a Supra and made him buy it.
When the 7M BHG, he wanted to give it to someone to make it go again. I found a JZA70 front cut for a conversion and made him buy it.
This car is like the car I always wanted that sits in garage for the occaional drive gets modified the way I like and I don't pay for it.
Whilst it is in my care(?) I'm very tempted to 'play' with it a little, and I'm looking for ideas of what to do.
Boosting it seems very high on the cards....

I've driven it a few times after he first got it and after the conversion, I've never spent "quality" time with it so here is my chance.
One catch... It can't end up faster than my car(s)
...this is not allowed

Personally I'd rather throw around a GE86 than a JZA70

Yes I do enjoy throwing the GE86 around but it is off the road getting some work done to reaffirm it as fastest car in the family. The reason I have the Supra.
Boosting... This will happen.
A trip to WSID is on the cards...
I might even get around to fixing the stuff I'm supposed to fix on it...

Decided this morning that I had to see what all the supra ra ra is about. Sooooo.... I went drivies. and put the Supra through its paces...
First phase of testing, a nice cruise out to windsor, Straight line driving, Few lights, now know its quicker than an SS commo, but not quicker than R34 Skyline.( this must be fixed )
2nd phase... conering... Putty rd no traffic Hmmmmm corners well, by no means nimble but it sticks at signposted speeds. (made note of that 35 corner for return trip) Decided that nothing needed to be done to suspension that a good set of tyres couldn't fix.
3rd phase... Attention getting... pulled up at servo where I was to U-turn and head back to Noted 35 corner. Drove into servo where a group of people were gathered both male and female. with aero top off pulled up jumped out grabed bottle of coke and jumped back in. Had 1 girl point as I idled out, but that was about it, did not attain the attention i was after, somthing there needs to be done. Either that or bikies just don't like Supras. 
4th phase... that 35 corner... And the question of Can Supras Drift???? Short answer ...NO. (and there will be none of this "A Good Tradesman never blames his tools" crap because my other car is a Sprinter!!!!!!11111
So after an exhastive day of testing it was found the following needs work....
Acceleration...... Needs More...
Handling.......... Needs Tyres... (at least does now)
Attention......... Needs More... (looks at flouresent lights in corner)
Drifting.......... Lost Cause
Ful sik Skids..... 
Have decided to take Oldcorollas portfoilo idea further and create a photo trail of the supras antics, Much like people do when they steal garden Knombs and send the owners back photos from over seas. Would like some photochopers to assist with more stirring ideas..

If you really want to piss him off just do as many k's as you can with no maintenence.
I once left the keys to a car I owned in the possesion of a friend I had known about a year (he was my flatmate at uni), It was 100k's overdue for a service and I left him the keys when I had to go home over the holidays since the car would be left outside and it frequently hails in Toowoomba, He also asked me if he could use it for 1 night to take his GF out to dinner(I said ok).
When I got back I found he'd done 3000km in 4 weeks!!!!!!, cost me like $1500 just to pass rego again as he'd worn out the brake drums and lots of other things through thrashing it. I then had to sell te car to recoup the cost.
needless to say I am no longer friends with him, though he still can't understand why I "hold a grudge"!!!.
