TIME TO HEAT UP ON THE SUPRA

(smol update)

So as you can see, ive removed the old 1G-GTE. currently sitting at the garage door, waiting to be sold to a customer. along with that, i also removed the bumper, hood and headlights for ease of access. And as for why its missing a limb, i got it some used Greddy Spec R coilovers!

Didnt lower it yet, kinda looks the same height as it did before, maybe slightly lower. i'll start tampering it when i get wheels for the car.

And as i said on a previous update, i got a pair of TRD x Bride Zeta III's! They required a LOT of digging until i found one pair for sale. initially they asked 2500 V$, but i managed to barge it down 2050 V$ and a cuppa coffee

The harnesses arent doing anything as of now, but i'll have them functional after i have a cage in the car.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST,

THE HEART OF THE BEAST

wow that rhymed smh

Yup, you're looking at a mildly tuned 1JZ-GTE VVT-i engine + R154 5-Speed MT, that i bought straight out of a JZX110 Mark 2 IR-V. got about 30k miles on this engine. for mods, it only has the HKS intake manifold, an HKS fuel rail, and a greddy oil filter. Now you may ask why the whole turbo assembly is missing. well, the prev owner had the stock turbo setup and tried upping the boost on it. the engine could obviously handle it easy. we're talking like 330hp out of a 1JZ. However, the turbo couldnt for some reason. SO well the turbo went poof. and he decided he'll sell the engine without the turbo setup, and swap something else in.
He delivered it over today but yesterday i went to look at it before he removed it from the car, it started and idled just fine too. no weird noises. but still, while he removed it from the car, i convinced him to remove the oilpan too, cuz i wanted to see if the blown turbo left any damage. debris circulating through the engine would leave shards in the oilpan, and maybe the oil itself too. However both the oil and the oilpan seemed pretty clean. which convinced me to buy it, and now here we are!

Another funny thing happened this week.
So my parents back home, to this date, have no clue that i own 4 cars. they only know ive bought the ES1 as my daily driver. they just know im living a normal life, studying at japan right? SO they literally video call me that day and say they're gonna send me some cash over, as just an elderly gift to, y'know, enjoy Japan for 5-6 months. we're talking the equivalent of about V$ 7,000. Well i'll be honest, Cars are what i enjoy the most here. And ofc living with my buddies, mocking each other 24x7, while improving our pride and joys, our cars. bit by bit. what more enjoyment could i possibly need? A SHIT TON OF HOE- yeah no im good. So uhhh, ALL OF THAT CASH IS GOING INTO MY CARS XDDDDDD

(sorry if i sound like im a TERRIBLE son. Im far from that lmfao)

THE START OF SOMETHING BIG!
