    first i've ever seen!
    what a sweet piece of history
    looks like you're going with a w5x tranny as opposed to the r154 that came in the mk3 supra turbos which are far more robust.
    if you're gentle and dont bang gears everywhere the w5x should last.
    i noticed you have no intercooler, that could be a possibility for you to get some piping and at least a small stockish side mount somewhere.
    does it have a boost gauge? did your brother remember how much boost it was running?
    12.2 is super f-in fast for that semi-trailing arm setup even with those big tires and even in a little truck.
    must be mucho boost.
    has it a rising rate fuel pressure regulator?
    anyhow, sweet project much luck
