Rad Rides by Troy Speaks Japanese! Toyota Supra Project - Lateral-g Forums

notorious1970 · #1 12-01-2009, 12:14 AM

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.....

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 ?

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.

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.
