I'm back ! ;)
○ Hey guys , I'm back after 19 days of working like a mad man and I'm happy tell you that this summer will be absolutely LIT !
( more on that topic later in the update).

○ So , first of all, the S14 got a tune about 2 weeks ago , and its going strong ! I've even put it on the dyno and I'd say that it has some power. Not over 1000 hp but still , it packs a punch. Here's some pics from the dyno :





○ Yep , 341 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. I've been running it at 22 psi on the turbo , and I could go for more , but I dont think the internals would hold up. Anyway , this is enough power for a daily car.

○ And just to be safe , I installed a Mishimoto radiator and an Mishimoto intercooler. Gotta keep them horses cool , here's some pics :





○ I paid 280 V$ for the radiator and 275 V$ for the intercooler. I'd say that this was a good purchase.

○ Anyways , enough about the S14 , this is not what the update is about. I am happy to present you my ...

-Summer Project Car !!!-

○ Well , first of all , I am so lucky to have this thing , its not even funny.

○ I got myself a 1994 Toyota Supra Mk IV !!!

○ Here's a walkaround of the car , it may look like a piece of crap , but thats why I bought it !











○ Well , this car has a ton of backstory to it so allow me to tell you the whole life of this poor thing.

○ So , back in 1994 , my friend bought this brand new Supra. He used it as a daily car for about 2 years , when , in 1996 this car got totally thrashed. He was the victim of a really bad accident. He got hit by a drunk driver going about 120 Km/h in an intersection. That guy was driving an R32 GT-R and still , to this day , that R32 hasnt been seen since. If you look at the pictures above , you'll see that the whole left side of the car is crashed , but luckly , theres almost no damage to the chassis. After 1 month of staying in the hospital , my friend decided to store this car in his back yard for the rest of its life. At the time he didnt have enough money to fix it so he just left it there. Keep in mind that this car hasn't moved since 1996 when it was crashed into. Now , my friend passed me this car because he had to move and he needed to get rid of the car. Long story short , I bought this for about 3000V$. There's so much work needed to restore this car , and thats why I decided to buy it. This is my summer project car. Hopefully , I'll be able to get it running this summer... :D

○ Well , lets pop the hood and see whats beneath it...



○ Hah , 2JZ no shit ! Its a GTE but too bad it doesnt even start. ( I think everybody expected this refference... :)) )

○ And what's in the trunk ? Lets see here...



○ I barely opened the trunk and my god , I nearly choked because of the dust. There's dust everywhere !

○ It seems that my friend saved the left headlight , left taillight and the left side skirt , though , the side skirt looks to be bent to hell.

○ After looking more at the car , I think I'll have to strip it down to the chassis , clean everything , maybe even buy new parts and stuff. Also , my friend also warned me that theres several rat nests in the interior. This is going to be fun ! Not....

○ I'll also need to remove all the rust , rebuild the engine ... *2 minutes later* ... and overall , rebuild the whole thing. It's gonna be a lot of work , but I'll do it. If any of you want to help , you're welcomed to come , but I dont think anyone would want to work on this rat infested junk car.

○ So , yeah , thats all for now , sorry for the inactivity , and I'm pretty hyped on this car. I hope you guys are too , see y'all around !!!
