Figure I post up my old beloved supra. My accord was my daily driver and my supra was a weekend track and MKIV killer to be. I spent two years hand building and hand restoring this car. It was my dream car I had wanted. Yes this car was hand rebuilt ground up. Never paid anyone to touch it. Yes I am proud to say I did over night stuff from japan on parts.
Two months ago my daily accord failed and broke down on me (spark plug wire went bad) so I decided to take my supra to work. Car was personally hand tuned for daily and was 1 WEEK yes one week to putting down its final tune in. Half way to work a truck cut me off in the middle of the highway. I swerve to avoid hitting the bastard and ended up in a lane with a dead stop stalled car with no hazards lights on. I slammed into the car at 60mph. The car I hit was destroyed. Mine being an older pure metal handling car was not as bad. Motor was untouch for a 60mph dead impact. I could not bare to start over so sold it as is rather put in another two years. I cried.
The car is a 1987 Toyota Supra with a single 64mm Garrett 1JZGTE forged iron cast block motor. I had upgraded standalone fuel system, 44mm wastegate, hkd bov, Cams and cam gears, 3 inch full straight turbo back exhaust, 2.5 piping, huge 4 inch thick intercooler, Rear 4.3 LSD diff, injectors, and misc stuff. Originally car ran on a REAL MINES ECU but went standalone. All tuned by a EMS standalone and manual ebc. That was just motor a lone. I had genuine greddy discontined front bumper and bomex lips. and full brides seats, sparco wheel with apexi 60mm gauges. There was a lot more in the list. Roughly 23 grand investment over a 2 year period. Car is not in MPH but in kilo dash. Real deal.
Here is the sad part. Car was never finished tuning. Redline on this supra is 8,300RPM stock block!!!!! I only dynoed it to 4,000rpm and with major turbo lag the car made 249whp. I had a wastegate issue and was waiting on a new wastegate. Car top speed is suppose to be around 180mph easily. Motor setup is good for 800whp on stock internals. Purpose of this build was to beat the **** out mkiv supras and bikes. RIP supra.

**This was the LAST shot of my FINALLY finished engine bay 1 night before the accident
. I had just finally finished all the wiring, paint, chroming, and purple scheme that I HAD DREAMED IT SHOULD BE TWO YEARS AGO ***
^^^^ Pretty is it not? Well here is what it looked like when I first brought it home from previous owner not running junk.
