Dream Car Build Thread: My Toyota Supra

Awesome stuff! I have a friend that is crazy about them, but won't settle for anything less than a LHD turbo manual one. Needless to say he'll be search a long time!

 

Hope you have deep pockets. A friend owns a Supra shop (FSR Motorsports Creations), and modifying these cars isn't cheap at all. Then again the people who own them tend to spring for the very best of everything, so I'm not surprised at all. Those cars make insane power all day long.

 

Wow nice pick up man! Havent seen those Racing Harts in YEARS! You just going to make it look good or do you have plans of swapping in a turbo setup?

 

I can't remember what year it was but a guy I knew from high school had an uncle buy a NA version. I happened to line up next to him back when the 94 was bone stock and it was a dead even race right till I had to shift. He didn't beat me by much but he did.

 

As much as I am disappointed that it's a n/a auto with a body kit, I know you'll do this car right. Congrats on acquiring your dream car. At your age that must be a great feeling.

 

Sweet car, man. I love me a MkIV.

Given that you can take that car to 1750rwhp (9:1 compression, 90mm single, 30psi, 200hp spool-up shot), the quest for power is never ending... so, start with dialing in that suspension and the brakes. Then move on to a torsen clutchless limited slip differential and the twin turbo six speed. After you have all the bugs worked out with your suspension and your six speed swap, THEN stick a single 61mm turbo on a Treadstone turbo manifold and call it good.

Or at least that's how I would approach it... and I have thought about it a lot, daydream-designed a million different MkIV Supras, been wanting one since I was like eight, wben first come out.

Sweet car, man. Do it it how you see fit.

 

Cant wait to see what you do to her. Lol ur a lucky man. A LHD Supra is pretty rare here in North America, no?

 

No. Left hand drive models are the norm, even with import cars like the Supra. Finding a Supra with the steering wheel on the wrong side is still pretty rare. Some people go out of their way to get direct import RHD models, but they are the exception, not the rule.

 

I was hoping to see a build thread on this. I think I know that car. (I was the one that commented on your instagram pic) Did you buy it from a college aged guy?

 

Not to sound like too big of an @sshole, but what the f!ck is a "college aged guy" these days? I mean, wouldn't it literally been easier, not to mention much more understandable, to just give an approximate age?

 

He's got that covered.



Sent from tha trap house.

 

Good purchase! If all your other builds weren't your true dream car, I can't wait to see what you do to this one

 

Nice pick up. I grew up around these cars. My mom had several lol. Fun cars for sure until they break

 

Good score! I've always liked the lines of the last gen supra. Just usually hated the guys driving them.

 

Can you guys import them?
The LHD are a bit uncommon, LHD turbo manual are super rare. RHD ones are fairly common here, not as common as subbies or r32 though.

Excited to see the build!
