With you Sean.

For all of the time and money invested, the end product seems a bit underwhelming.

[OMGz Turbo]

I like it alot actually. Just needs better wheel setup

[Erik@R/TTuning]

Finally got a chance to read all the way through that thread last night and it truly was epic. I don't say that often.

[Scapegoat]

the wheels are definitely too small for that car.

the final appearance of the vehicle doesn't look any better than some of the supras i've seen online. but when you consider the amount of detail that went into the vehicle and the fact that just about everything is new on this car is when you appreciate what went into this.

i don't think it was worth it... but then again i don't have an ungodly amount of money to spend and would have chosen a different vehicle

Pics don't show up at work and don't feel like reading it without them.

Hopefully the guy actually built the car himself, otherwise I'm not impressed at all.

you didn't breed your cat, so it sucks.

you didn't build your house... not impressed with that either.

dude spent a lot of time researching and picking parts and picking out the right people to do the job. that is impressive. just because the guy has a ton of money and didn't do all the work doesn't mean the accomplishment is any less spectacular.

He sent it over here to the good ol US of A and had MVP motorsports do the work. Like Scapegoat said, big deal. I doubt many of the big money builds like that are done by the owner. Most people aren't capable of building their own motors.

THIS.

there's not one person that can't appreciate the time the guy spent on the research, and the level of craftsmanship is absolutely stunning no matter who did it.

[thefro526]

Craftsmanship is awesome, without a doubt. Parts selection is impressive as well. Not too many people would through the hassle of sourcing Ikeya Formula Parts across three countries (three continents as well I believe) for a build.

That being said, the end product looks exactly like every high horsepower show-ish Supra I've ever seen. Perhaps it's a bit cleaner under the hood and under the car, but judging on pure aesthetics, it's just more of the same.

always so negative SMH

not a fan of the duals though.

[TalonTsi97]

[JerseyTuscani]

I actually went through all the pages on this build and I must say it's pretty damn impressive. I could care less if he wrenched on it or not. Most of the nicer cars on tristate were built by shops not the owner.

[97TurboDSM]

lol at saying this car is like any other show car. he bought two supras so he has a test vehicle and then once finding out the one he was going to drive wasnt straight, used the front clip from that to make it straight. unless he just switched cars at that point. either way, anyone saying this build is unimpressive is a dweeb

[DPancoast]

pretty awesome. there is a guy on the mr2 forums doing a ridiculous build with a similar style. its crazy how detailed his is getting and how clean the car is.

awesome read

Your right but its exactly what he wanted, and he literally replaced everything brand new oem. I have seen many supras but none that have done so much to replace the old parts that most people dont care about.
