Cool1,
It was it only taken back to bare metal where it really needed it. But that was most of the bottom on either side. Any rust spots.
Thanks!

trd_celica85, the rear bar was imported from a company called Kaminari Aerodynamics in the USA.
Its made from fibreglass & designed for the MA61 but it was 2inched two long. I had to chop 2inches from each side and re-fibreglass them back together.
The front skirt is also from the same company.
Cheers

"lexus 550cc injectors"
Um... the paint is awesome but I think you're a bit off the mark with the performance upgrades. The "Lexus" thing I believe you are referring to is actually a combination of a Lexus 1UZFE Air Flow Meter and a set of *low-impedance* 13B-turbo RX7 Series IV 550cc injectors. What that does is allows you to run the stock ECU at higher boost pressures with almost correct fuelling (a trick, of sorts).
As far as I'm aware 550cc Lexus injectors don't even exist.
The other thing that you've got a bit wrong there is the Microtech computer. That's fine, but if you're doing that then the "Lexus" upgrade isn't worth doing because you won't have an Air Flow Meter any more, and you'll then be able to run any injectors you like as long as they physically fit. So just any old RX7 550cc injectors would be fine - note here also that with an aftermarket computer like a Microtech, the factory 440cc 7MGTE injectors will have a lot more life in them due to more accurate fuelling, and with the upgrades you mentioned you may or may not need them (the 440's should be good for AT LEAST 450 crank hp).

In your position, I'd say that you really have two options.
1. You can fit a Microtech ($1500-2000 fitted and tuned) with some 550cc injectors (any RX7 550's are fine)
2. You can fit a 1UZ Air Flow Meter and the *low imp* Rx7 550's ($xxx Depends as these parts are second hand and hard to come by, just a matter of finding them. Injectors are worth $60-$100 each as they're VERY rare... and one of those air flow meters is worth at least $200).
Once you have chosen one of thse options (the ECU gives you a bit more scope, but it does cost more than twice as much), you should then look at high-flowing the CT26 will give you a world of benefits, a friend has 216rwkw on a hiflow on just 16psi. About this point you will need to upgrade your fuel pump and probably fuel pressure regulator.
This is all without mentioning head gasket issues

Oh, note that the mods you already have should put you WELL into the 13's, as my Mk3 ran 13.7@103 with a 3" exhaust and a boost increase to 11psi. Keep in mind that I was still running the cr@ppy factory cooler and some cr@p Nankang tyres in the stock size. Also note that Mk3's are a good few hundred kilos heavier!
I'm not sure exactly how you managed to run 14psi with the stock air flow meter as it should be hitting fuel cut well before then (11.x psi to 13.x psi is the range I though, based on the external/atmospheric conditions the engine is running in?). You may find that your engine has a fuel cut defender fitted.

just curious darren,
wat are your under bonnet temps like with that front skirt. it doesnt have that much room for air intake....
i am designing a front bar for my supra and i was wondering on the amount of area for air intake in the bar...
(i obviously dont want to make it restrictive and prevent air from getting into the engine bay)
and yes the car looks absolutely fantastic i love it only wich i could afford a respray.
p.s. thanks for the advice u emailed me on harnesses ages ago, didnt end up gettin em but i noe what to do now if i get some down the track

STR8 2.8- The engine temp stays at 180 Fahrenheit, not sure in deg maybe 60 or 70,
But the car has never overheated.
Hobbs- the 3 lt Turbo badge came from the 7MGTE front cut from Japan.

I'm not the one with all the flash HPC'd crap hanging off my engine
Was just thinking about it actually.. with the money I spent on the suspension and the engine conversion, the Supra would be well into the 12's now. Oh well.
