Pics comin soon

I've had the car for a few years now. I started with my exhaust 2 1/2 inch with a straight through muffler thanks to toyota the car already had a beautiful set of extracters. I was quite suprised as to how much extra power I picked up from that mod. unfortunately I was deprived of my licence for a few months for excess speed. But I look at it now as a good thing cause we ripped the engine out giving it a full rebuild and strengthen along with some headwork. I also had a little bit of colour coding done to the dash and other interior.
I also got rid of the ugly air box and installed a K$N pod in the front corner of the bumper with a nice piece of 3" aluminium piping linking it to the air flow meter. $4000Aus later and I was back on the road the first 1000km running the engine in and driving like a grandma nearly killed me. but it was all worth it.
The next stage was to get some new wheels I choose a nice set of 17" in a gold capri finish. But my thirst for power was not yet quenched. I did some reasearch and decided to fit a supercharger off a mr2 1G-GZE engine all up it took about 2wks to fit the unit. It was alota work but it was way worth it. I also put a small intercooler on the front as the unit seemed to run fairly hot when I got under it .
At the moment i have only got 2psi of boost (120hp at wheels) but I will be fitting some new pulleys to rectify that problem (7psi). soon I am also fitting an aftermarket computer soon as my airflow meter cannot take the back pressure that the supercharger puts on it when I back off.
stay tuned for more info as soon as I got them I will write it up.

Um, I'm a tad confused why you would supercharge a Previa... but to each his own. I would probably mod a Gremlin if I didn't have my Mustang. :)
