Considering the TT swap or NA-T at some point (once I have the cash) but honestly just enjoying the NA for now.

I just couldn't ever have a jap performance car with an auto. Just seems defeatist to me!
Are the eyebrows gone on your Supra yet Nath?
Thats what I thought until I drove the auto supra.
Eyebrows are gone but I currently have a nice new set of UK spec glass lights in the post
Along with front leather seats, which is win.I just couldn't ever have a jap performance car with an auto. Just seems defeatist to me!
Its the lack of boost I'd be more concerned with.
The autobox is actually pretty good. At the end of the day Supras have always been on the 'Grand Tourer' side of the fence rather than being out and out sports cars. It shifts smoothly, can handle a fair wack of power, easily uprated, easily adapted to operate in a tiptronic mode. As long as you're not pounding a track 24/7 the auto is more than sufficient for most.

Yeah, it's entirely possible. Closest I've come to a jap performance car is the Lexus IS-F Dad had as a courtesy car - not quite in the same basket really
Some pics would be nice when you get them fitted
Any other plans atm?

Looks like a child has tried to make something that looks like a Bentley out of play-doh

I'd give them some credit for trying to make something different but I've got to say I much preferred the look of the original car.

I would've guessed that was based off a S2K or an MX5 but after googling it, actually sounds even cooler
