Fully Restored Completely Brand New 2010 Supra Build

[bozodos]

my comments were explaining the ones preceding it, it wasn't my own view on the car, which is an amazing build, but clearly by an obsessive compulsive lol. I guess if you've got enough money, but I could never own something like that, because I'd be living in paranoia about it all the time.

VERY nice build, however, 2 flaws:

1. Auto

2. Built for STREET RACING

if it was built for street racing why not put a huge ass turbo on it and do a manual conversion. that would be far more successful, plus all that suspension work really isn't required for such activities.

dragging with an auto, even a manual civic is going to get a better start off the line.

Should have gone targa top with 6 speed manual conversion the resale value would be awesome : )! but each to there own and that build is insane : )!

[bozodos]

you would never ever get back even a shade of the money spent on that car.

Wow, what an amazing build!

LOL, gotta love jealous or ignorant posts like these.

So everyone building a car has to be a wrench monkey and should do absolutely everything themselves? They should be experts at:

* Electronics

* Tuning

* Wiring

* Fabrication

* Alignment

* Bodywork

* Paint

* General auto parts installation and maintenance

? Ever thought maybe some people want people who are more skilled than they are working on their car?

Sorry I was unaware that my misinformed, jealous and/or ignorant post was so upsetting to you. Looking back at it, I did only state 3 times in a positive manner and a massive once in a semi negative one. All I actually said was that in my opinion, I prefered that particular build, I said that because personally, I do, I also prefer Jennifer Hawkins over Angelina Jolie, doesn't mean she isn't smoking hot. So an attempt to avoid the page 4 wobble on this thread lets all agree to disagree, I will back away slowly, and give you a chance to see that here at SAU we accept other peoples opinions as just that.

werd. you dont build cars if you are aiming to make profit.

*i know there are exceptions to this rule so shut up*

awsome build! love it!

[bigmikespec]

There was a ton of research involved in this car. The reason it went to the US is shops in the US are light years ahead of Australia.

Lol...

Excellent effort though, cool car.

i been followin this on the forums also, awesome !!

[Deano 1]

amazing build. yes money has been thrown at it but i get the feeling that some of the people in here wouldnt be happy unless he had fabricated every single washer and nut by hand.

im wondering about that exhaust manifold, it comes out at 90deg to the block. whats with that?

that Manifold is Art!!!!

[ARTZ]

MEH!!!!

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

Incredible build, I had some spare time so I read the whole thing, got to the end and was so disappointed he hadn't finished the writeup for it, lol

yeah man pissed me right off haha

[DAN00H]

I don't like it. started off an interesting build and turned into something of a throwback. honestly, there are so many issues with trying to get that through rego it's not funny! some things are done just for the sake of spending money!?!?!

at the end of the day, I'd take the 350,000+ and spend it on an Aston, or GT3, or even restore a real classic. clearly he came into a large sum of money (lotto?) and is like a kid in a lollie shop with a fist full of dollars... wants everything on the shelf.

I look at some of the fabrication and wonder how long things will last. there is not even a trans cooler for instance, never mind the proximity of the exhaust to some components?!?!

realise most people love it, and a lot of time and $$$ have been put in, but Meh...

nice build!

who cares if he won lottery, or if his parents are rich or where he got the money from. Better than another "skyline build" with a 25/30 with huge turbos and 8 hundred 6 thousand and 45 billionty hp.

[PM-R33]

honestly, there are so many issues with trying to get that through rego it's not funny!

The car has been back in Australia for quite some time and drives on the streets.

For those still following the build it is getting interesting with the rear seat delete.

Quoted for stupidity

[Adriano]

TBH you have to wonder about the workshop that recommended some of this build. IE a new rear end, then fot it with a new crown and pinion and trd centre,new auto sent off to be built. seems like a lot of new parts that didnt even get on the car

[sh@un]

rego on that car is 1 digit different to Steve's (N1GTR). his is also black and auto. that one's a tad more modified though, lol

that Manifold is Art!!!!

certainly looks well designed and tig'd. also looks like it'd be heavy as a mofo unfortunately. those poor mani-bolts

i'm sure it has the power to compensate...

[Spark911]

dont we all wish we had the salary/drug profits/hooker money to do something like this

[limpus]

You would think he would just buy a brand name exhaust manifold, with all the money spent on the car.

Sound performance stuff is branded...they are up there with titan when it comes to supra development with innovative products like a quick spool valve and even a compound turbo setup that works extremely well...can't think of anyone better to use for this particular build...and with issues with some other so called brand names...its a wise choice to use the guys who are actually doing to build to do the manifold too so they can build it to their specs...
