I recently fulfilled a life long goal and purchased a mk4 Supra. I've only got one photo of it at the moment, but I'll go and take some next time I get the chance to visit Matt, as it's still parked up outside his house for the next few months.

Plans for the car in no particular order:

MeisterR gt1 coilovers
Weight loss (lots of carbon and the 2j is going)
3uzfe and 6 speed a761e auto, which comes with manual shift from the factory.
Lightweight wheels
Eventually a syvecs and flappy paddle kit

The main goal of the car is to be light and have good balance. I'm not in a rush to finish it, so it will be done properly.

Stage 1 is to restore it to being a good nick car, as it's currently a bit ratty. Photos to follow when I get the chance

Current spec:
Black Na 5 speed manual. Jap spec import with UK big brakes, limited slip diff and tte Borbet wheels. Also had the rare black headliner which I'm quite pleased about.


I'll update this post as the project progresses.

Very. The sc400 is a similar subframe to the supra so the engine bolts right up on 2jz mounts. I'll be keeping the 6 speed auto box as it's vastly superior for my desired goals.

It's a good supra that one...

Quite a few hours have already gone in to making it look nice.

Hope the plans work out.
