Lol. I gave up on this thread a while back because I was building my M3 for a few years.
Here she is in some of her best photos:


Color changed a couple times....


Then I sold the Viper engine setup during Covid since I decided to sell the car back in 2018 and it was not selling as a whole car for se reason, I had pro drifters interested in the engine multiple times, but it ended up selling to a guy and his kid who are building a ground up rat rod.
Also during that time I had some of the wheels I always loved finally custom built to my crazy specs
My Leon hardiritt Ordens that I bought on Zilvia13 years ago and Friedens that I always wanted. And also re lipped my AME Shallens. Hey, I wasn't spending money in Vegas clubs so had to direct that energy somewhere lol:







So Viper engine sold, I continued playing with my M3 till I figured I wanted to Super charge the M3 or 2j swap it. But then early last year I decided to finish the S14 build since Supercharging the M3 was a waste of money since max hp without spending another 25k on a stroker or forged bottom end would be 650wheel for $15-25k for the SC only, so I said fuck that I'll keep the M3 as a show and cruise car and build another race car.


So early last year I decided to finish the S14....... went to talk to Forrest wang about buying his 1k whp 2jz engine and all......

Then started getting quotes for completing the build.
From a few different race fabrication shops.
The plan was to have a show quality car, with 1000 whp that could smoke anyone on the highway and slide whenever I wanted to.

However with the 1 year of covid, not partying, and working a lot at the hospital, for me, business was good, but I also matured a lot that year, I realized me dumping another $40-50k into an S chassis even though I could, was not the smartest decision when later on It would be nearly impossible to value it over 35-40k. And ai would have spent 65 or so in total on her..[emoji29]

I started thinking what other chassis I always loved and would hold value, long story short I got an Mk4 supra instead. Found a decent deal on a super clean 94 Targa top with 130k miles.
Already had a cleanly done, widebody the way I like it. So a good starting car that wouldn't require any repairs, only upgrades that I wanted to do to it.
