Hello everyone, I'm Matt. I'm 18 years old, and was fortunate enough to grow up around fast cars, engine technology and racing in general. My step-father was a Toyota Supra nut, is a General Manager at 1 of 4 Toyota Plants in the United States (20 minutes from home).
Anyway, he has helped me learn everything I have needed to learn about cars, and started me off with a good state of mind. Like taking time to do things the right way, work for what you have, be mature and always remember "There's never too much you can learn about these cars, so keep learning!"
Okay, Well at 14 I worked at a pizza shop locally to raise money for a 1983 Toyota Celica-Supra. I tinkered around with it and decided to turbocharge it before selling it.
At 16, I bought an extremely clean non turbo 1987 Supra. I put about 4-5k in this car. I have build threads on other websites but here's a pic from a photoshoot entry for Modified Magazine July 2008
Here's me next to the car
And here's the engine we swapped into it
Shortly after, I sold the car to save up with my step-father to buy a newer Supra, along with another 87 to daily drive.
It's a 1994 Toyota Supra. Renaissance red, Targa, 6 speed getrag swap, factory 2jz with denso injectors, apex i-safc II Neo, Single precision PT67-76 with anti-Surge housing. Here's a pic
It has 1998 taillights along with a small "outside" things, but on the inside it's a beast. 637 Horsepower at a conservative 18psi.
Anyway, thanks guys for reading!!! Any Supra fans out there let me know!!
