Yup, your luck ain't happening . Seems like we're all scattered about.

Word. I'm still just trying to catch a run with a 750.

Supra guys out here have a meet once a month. Talk about money; I feel poor with these guys.

The orange SC300 is 2JZ-GTE BPU++ swapped. Moves like a madman.


Kahanu's TRD widebody: 1,102whp


Jamie's widebody: 8xxwhp (his claim, but no dyno (HKS twins))


Aryn's Ridox widebody, 3.4 stroker: 690whp


Tank's TH400: 632whp


7 other MKIV's MIA at about the same caliber. I'm hoping I'll find a similar Supra scene to this after Hawaii.

I'd treat it like a high displacement domestic and shun accordingly.
You shoulda come over at Freedom!! I was just chilling with some of my boys! Shy=bad!
Yeah ive done my homework but it's different from the firsthand experience.
I just love how the low-end and how smooth the 1uz is.
Im on club lexus but i like Lextreme better.
Im building my setup right now and i might PM you some pics if i could find them.


Yah i was at freedom probably 50-100 Ft from you. i saw you had your hood popped. I'll come say hi next time

Dangit- you shoulda stopped Chow was up there with his red supra with the HKS twins. Cool guy- met him yet?

yes its the blurple one with white interior. you know the story on that car? or why it is always having the motor pulled?
Yep- he's an old friend of mine from back in the day when I was driving my RX7. He blew the motor like 3 years ago, bought a house and none of us ever saw the car again. He said it was at a shop waiting on a new block. Everyone was saying he probably sold it but I never pushed the issue. It's got a SS Autochrome 71, no fuel or timing control and an exhaust.

Oh and BTW- Citium, those cars are pretty nasty. I should post a few pics of my friend's rides up. They build some nasty cars.

Dave Penton's. He's the one who hooked me up with my diff and the ported head out of his SC after he rolled it. This is his SC replacement. Built bottom end, runs 9.39.

Mario Deniz's SC. He runs a 9.44 on a stock block. It's a STUNNING GTE build. Not bad for a Spaniard who looks like every desperate housewife's dream pool guy. He's the one who got me all riled up about the TH400. Really good salesguy/tech guy out at Titan. I'd kill for my car to have come out like his.

Big Mike Manion's. I had to use a stock pic for it- he doesn't have hit up on his FB and I don't have any other pics of it. He's constantly doing shit to it- I think the last was forging his block.

Actually -that's big Mike over to the left. Sean Joseph's MKIII 2jz build. This thing is INCREDIBLE. 1275hp and a really quality build. I think he's one of the most underestimated guys in the import scene but hopefully the Texas mile will change that. Another great salesguy at Titan.

Chris Pena's piece of shit. Woulda been a great build if his psycho ex girlfriend didn't chuck his brand new stroker pistons and rods across a parking lot.

Daniel Thompson's underhood shot. The MKIV is just your standard white hardtop. It hasn't been to the track but he just hit 1175rwhp.

Shonanspeed, the Red MKIII was my absolute favorite among the bunch.
