Updates?
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..

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.

Here's the Supra how I got it,

Ridox kit, bolt ons and Tein basics.
And first day at the house:


Shortly after, I realized the Kit wasn't going to cut it as it's only 25mm wider each side and it needed a 50mm wide kit at least.
Whenever I hit went WOT she would squat and scrape horribly, and this kind of flare the only way to fix it would be to cut it up and flare more or modify it significantly, so I'll be doing a metal widebody soon.
Had to take the rear flares off so I don't destroy it, I'm guessing the girl who owned it babied it and never ran hard.
Also will need to re tub her higher up. Here she is after removing the flares and installed the air suspension from my boys air company Air Demand.

If anyone is interested I can post more info on the supra as I build it.
2jz motorsports is finally done with my 1400hp block and new 1050rwhp turbo kit setup.
After the car gets tuned I'll be starting the widebody.


I currently still have the S14S and sold the Hood to my boy who has begged me for it for the last 4 years lol apparently after I got that cowl style hood they got harder and harder to find and everyone kept asking me to buy it upwards of 1k offers.
If the S14S sells it sells.
But if not I'll rethink colleting her next year or so.

Sorry for the bad news but just seemed like the smarter thing to do.

3 full posts with updates and news!!











If anyone wants to buy the car as it is. Contact me directly 213-210-5923
Comes with extra parts:
sparco seat, new headlights, lots of interior parts nearly everything, doppler pro racing pedal set, suspension arms tons of gauges ... All extra stuff that's not on the car.
I was told the custom front would accommodate any other large V8 engine also or just swap the crossmember and do a jdm motor

Nothing crazy, around $55k, the shop that is building it sourced it for me, I would say that's a pretty good deal for a TT 6speed original car in immaculate shape overall and with the interior upgrades and widebody, the girl was was trying to buy a Lambo so I'm glad I was able to help her achieve that goal also,

Yea your photos are all working.

Nice find. Been looking at getting back into the upper end 90s car game as well. The Supra has always been near the top of the list.

I look forward to seeing your progress. I know you'll come out with something impressive. Still sad to see the V10 never went into the s14 though haha

NSX is in similar price range! But I wouldn't ever be happy with that engine performance, beautiful tho!

Without the hood for 3k can take all the extra parts with it.
Not trying to make real money off it. Just sell for. Low fair price.

FD does. This car is perfect for a personal street car not a competition car.
After a few track days I realized I think track days are boring I just like to fuck around sporadically haha.

Dave at 2J is the best. They are building me a 3.4L stroker as we speak and sourced my car too! Love seeing the Supra in white with the kit, killer combo.
