Rad Rides by Troy Speaks Japanese! Toyota Supra Project
 

During our buildup of Notorious we picked up a 1994 Toyota supra. My brother is a Supra freak. This kid knows everything about this car and eats, sleeps everything Supra. So he found a prime example in ohio with 13k original all stock miles on it.

Dad and I fly out with a one way ticket to columbus, OH and get picked up by the owner of the car. Now we had a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with the first donor nova (rust bucket) we bought for our nova build up at RRides. So needless to say we were quite apprehensive on buying another out of state, older car. However this one is a GEM, the owner actually shed some tears as we pulled away. Year goes by and we get the itch to do just a little something to spice up an already beautiful car. Off to rad rides..... :wow:

Why is the nova still there? Shouldn't your dad be driving the thing?

Its home...some of these pics are from a little while back.

For those that don't know about supras, they are seriously engineered cars and make tons of power. Great transmission as well. Most will take the twin sequential turbo system out and opt for a big single turbo setup. Heres an example of whats possible.

I was wondering the same. Why there are so many older builds still in house? For maintenance ?

It's about time you guys shared some pics of this beast.

maintenance
 

Maintenance and storage for the most part. Its a candy shop there sometimes in that showroom. "Probox" was/is even back at the shop for some updating.


haha..i know, many more pics to come. I see your truck is in interior..very nice.

Have you seen pics - that Tracy Guy won't share them with me :yes:

less talk more pictures :) Seriously. I'm anxious to see what RRades is capable of on a car you traditionally only find tuners building

What are the plans for the Supra? Just cosmetic or a full build? I have always liked those Supras. I know they can be VERY fast.:_paranoid

I agree Eric. Those are some nice cars. I hear they're pretty fast when modified!!:_paranoid :unibrow:

.....at least the power is directed to the correct end of the car......:D

This outta be good! One of the ultimate in turbocharged cars, at one of the most respected hot rodder's shops....I have a feeling this will be a lot of fun!

I'm a bit partial to turbos (Esprit, SVO, S4) so I'll be tuning in to see how this will go in the right hands!

the beginning...
 

Thanks for the comments. This is not a full build by any means. The supra is such a great looking car, we wanted to leave the body just about stock. There are some slight modifications you'll soon see. Here are some more pictures and some of what the car looked like the day we picked it up.

Sweet! Glad to see the build posted over here. I look forward to seeing updates at Supraforums as well. SW is a frequent poster here, so most people here are aware of the Supra's potential.
