Thanks. I know from the factory they're pretty stout and I know there are more than a few Supras in the area who could hand me my *** still.

Thanks man. The car was detailed this past weekend. When I get a break from work I'm going to try to take some new pictures. If anyone has request, post up and I'll get them.

If you wanted to pay to have it shipped I wouldn't have a problem with that once funds have cleared in my bank. The 6 gauges in it are all Autometer Phantom gauges.
Voltage - not hooked up
Water temp - the sensor is bad I'm guessing. It pegs past 250 after a minute or so of running. We've taken things apart to make sure that isn't correct, and it's obviously not. We tested the temperature and it was within normal ranges after running at idle for 20 minutes. The car wouldn't even operate at 250+ let alone drive for 3 hours at a time. The fan should actually have a switch on it. It's just wired to be on when the car runs so it actually runs very cool.
Tach - works fine
Oil pres. - works fine
Boost - works fine
Fuel - it's in but doesn't read right. Full is empty, and empty is full. In between doesn't make very much sense. I started looking in to it to see if it was a sending unit or something else and ran out of time.
What it needs in addition to the gauges listed above being fixed is a speedo and a trans. temp gauge. I know that a touch under 2000RPM is just under 80mph, so I wasn't too concerned in the mean time. The guy before me was going to build it in to an all out drag car, so he didn't bother with a speedo. He actually had a roll cage installed at one point but it's since been removed. The trans. temp gauge would just be a good idea.
This car was a 5 speed. The clutch pedal is still actually in the car and attached, it just doesn't function with the current trans. It was left in there though in case someone wanted to go to a T56.
I can get pictures of whatever you would like. The only videos I currently have are doing a small burnout and then two just driving down the road to show how docile it is under normal driving. The sound is a little goofy on all of them because they were taken with phones. If you want something specific I'd be happy to get it though.

The car went to the track this morning. Traction is a much bigger issue than I thought. it only has 275 BFG KD tires on it and it spun so bad you had to get completely out o fit around 330'. The best 60' it went was 2.0 also. It trapped consistently at 116-117 even with getting out of it for half a second. If I go back I'm going to see if I can borrow some drag radials or slicks from a friend. It's at worst a mid 12's car already but should be in the low 12's with traction. Not bad for a stock LS1 with a small turbo that drives as well as it does.

I wouldn't mind shipping it as long as I had payment and everything cleared before it left obviously. I've never shipped a car though so I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how much. It would be picked up at 48346 if you wanted to figure it out. I'd assume it would be $400 - $500 but I have no idea..?
