But i will show you some teasers of the new stuff on it.

And the black one, well, it was a bad decision while i was drunk lol. Abandoned NA R33, broken motor (i already took it apart and build it for a customer, but his car got stolen and wrecked), so now its a roller, idk what i'll do with it...

Ｉｎｔｅｒｎａｔｉｏｎａｌ　ｒａｃｅｓ　ａｎｄ　ｂｅａｔｅｒｓ　スぐ彙ぅ


Oh boi, a lot of things happened...

September 12th 2019, 8:30am



Today is the day! Today we will go to Topeka with the boys for the supreme shitbox challenge!
We are finishing the prepping of the cars.
And also, we will be using the same tires that are in the cars rn for the entire challenge
After the drag race we will get new/used ones for the trip back to Oklahoma.

Here are the cars :



You know, i got the E36, you know the drill, 318is coupe, almost stock, small porting in the head and welded diff
140-150hp, nimble, quick, not too fast but the best of both worlds, but i'm not too experienced with track days.
I raced in TD events a long time ago, but like not too proffesional.

Ziga got a Lexus SC400 that i wanted for taking out the engine, but he needed it,
it got a big crash and frame damage but Ziga "fixed" it using the Raptor and hammers for straighten the frame,
also he put the old bumper from his drag soarer.
He got the advantage of the power, he had 250hp (from stock, on that moment he got like 220hp, and a slushbox)
But he got an automatic transmission, worn suspension, chassi problems and the weight disadvantage.
But if he uses good his power advantage, he can win this challenge.

And Biggie got his 60ish dollars Corolla!
He got the lightest car, but the least powerful, but he's an experienced time attack racer, so, he got that advantage
And he got the advantage of the cost, so he could make a k swap, d swap, suspension updates and something like that.
but he didn't, he thinks that with his stock car can win, and he really can!

Now, enough of intros, let's get in the highway. Destiny : Topeka, Kansas!



3:20pm



Finally! After a long drive we arrived! Heartland Motor Speedway!
It's beautyful! It's the time to put up or shut up!
Enough of talking, let's race!

Here's some photoshooting!














5:30pm

After a long session, lots of laps and worning our tyres, we stopped and checked times.
Ziga won, Biggie got second and i was last, still idk how ziga won with the problems that his car had
But hey, he won and i'm happy for him, now, to the drag strip!



I expect mid 18's as best time, this car can do low 17's but the tyres are worn, the diff is welded
And i'm not too good at drag racing lol, but hey, let's try!

GO!

Great time! I was really confident, obviously, Ziga won the drag challenge, he did a great pass
But i wanted to beat Big Smoke as a revenge for the TD!

And i did! Ziga scored 15.895 seconds as his best time.
I got the second place, with best time of 18.142 seconds.
And finally there's Biggie with a best of 18.658 seconds.

6:00pm

Challenge finished! Conclusion : Yeah, you can buy a car for 500$ and track it!
Now, after a tyre change that i needed, we started driving back to OKC!
The tyres costed me 150$



September 13th, 2019. 1:30am

Finally! After a long drive, we arrived in our shitboxes to OKC
After this challenge, i wanted to do something crazy with it, like ls swap and something
But like, i don't have time for that, maybe next time, and also, it's a E36 coupe, manual, clean condition
So, the best thing to do with it is sell it and get a profit.
It's time to sleep, tomorrow i will clean it and list it for sale.

2:30pm

Today is the day, today i will get the E36 ready for sale.



After cleaning the car and all of that, i listed the ad and park the car outside

I was asking 3k or best offer, because, yeah, i paid 650$, but hey, it's a bmw coupe, manual, in great condition
Yeah, it's the 318is, but hey, you can't find clean manual E36 coupes so often.
I expect to get something like 2700 or something.



September 14th, 2019. 4:30pm

After a day of the car ad, i got a bunch of offers, but only two people came here, and i took the highest bid

2650$ That gives me 2k of profit, and that gives to the dude who bought it, a really good price for a clean car!



Goodbye E36, you did it great!

September 28th, 2019. 3:30pm

After a lot of Shenanigans, shitcar competitions, bbq's, and rebuilding cars, i gotta go back to Japan
Thank you S2S, thank you Ziga and Benny, thank you Biggie and Soju, for all of the adventures that we got!
i will come back soon! Next destiny : Tokyo, Japan.

September 29th, 2019. 12:30pm

After a long ass flight, i arrived to my beautyful Japan.
Also i needed someone to pick me up from the airport, so, a buddy of SLP picked me up in my red Skyline
But, it got some changes...




You didn't expect that? Well, really yes because i posted a teaser lol
My daily got modded, let'me show all the stuff





- Optional body lip kit and sideskirts, repainted in the same AR2 colour that the car has
- Recaro seats




DGR high performance coilovers
AP Racing big brake kit
Nismo LMGT1 18'' wheels



It looks so neat right now, i fucking love it !
Now we need to drive to SLP!

1:30pm

Finally, we arrived to SLP! Now it's time to do some photoshooting!








Beautyful, isn't it?!
It's epic! But i got something not so pretty.




This thing is parked in here for a long time and i need to do something with it




The old rb25 block is long gone, i fully rebuilt it for a customer, so it needs new engine.
Today i'll start working on it. I got a little surprise for it.

3:00pm

Ready for the surprise?!




RB26DETT!
Yup, i got an RB26 engine! And for a good price!
This is an R32 engine, and i got it from a buddy that he wanted to do a fully built RB30
And he knew that i got this R33 and i needed a engine, so we agreed in 4700$
This engine was in his S13 with a RB25 transmission, the same transmission that i wanted to use.
So it's basically plug and play. The engine right now is in OEM engine mounts.
The oil and filters were changed when the engine was put.

4:00pm




After some test fitting we put the intake plenum with the fuel rail and the computer
And the exhaust and the turbo assembly, it was plug and play.
I bolted the stock RB25 5 speed RWD transmission,
and because the engine was adapted for this transmission, it was pretty much plug and play
I also welded the diff and put new oil on it.
Now we need to put the cooling system, charge pipes, intercooler and misc things.

5:00pm

Finally, all the things are on place!




ISR Front mount intercooler
Koyorad radiator and fans
Oil cooler
AEM fuel pump
Custom exhaust

Now we need to test if it starts.

*crank*
*crank*
*crank*
STARTS! IT STARTS!



I'm really excited! This project is going great!!!!
But something is wrong, that fitment.
Let'me fix that:

6:45pm

I think it's fixed...





Now it looks great!
We put some goodies in the suspension and braking system

Megan Racing coilovers with camber plates
R33 GTR Wheels (the old wheels from my red r33)
Yellow pads and steel lines.
New brake fluid

We already aligned it, so it's ready to drive, let's go for a drive...



It drives so great! I love it! Let's get to the dmv and register it...




It passed! (I was too lazy to took the pics with the plates on lol)
So let's drive to home with the Frankie Fleet! (except the yeet-35, it's getting work done)

7:00pm

I arrived to my home, the car ran awesome! So let's do a photoshoot!!!












Well, this is all of the stuff done for now, soon i will do another update (when i recover myself from this lol)

Here's the toughest part, hopefully you liked the update and all of the stuff
See you soon!

Ｎｏｔｏｒｉｏｕｓｌｙ　ＢＩＧ　ｐｒｏｂｌｅｍｓ　(サヒ代)

Finally! The big typhoon update.
I'm uploading this so late because i had a lot of problems
(irl : i had a lot of exams and all that shit)
But hey, here it is, the Hagibis Typhoon evacuation update.
Soon i will do a new update on new stuff, a little new toy and all of that...

October 12'th, 2019. 2:30pm

Today is a heavy day, we were receiving a lot of news because of the incoming Hagibis typhoon
It will hit Tokyo in a day or two, so we received a evacuation warning, luckily we have a plan...

(-) : Me, (+) : Hideo (my boss)

*phone rings*
+ Hi?
- Hi, it's me, Frank
+ Oh, hey Frank, what's up?
- Not so good, Tokyo will be hit by Hagibis, and we need to Evacuate
+ I heard that, well, pack your stuff, help the guys to evacuate their cars, save as much workshop parts and tools and come here.
- Okay, but where i would stay?
+ I will rent you a house so you and your girlfriend are safe
- Okay, but how i can get my cars to there? We can drive both r33s, but we don't have nobody to drive the Supra and G35, also Jess car isn't roadworthy
+ Ship them in truck, maybe 1500 for the three cars i will pay you that in the next salary.
- Okay, great. I will get our stuff done, fill the van, get the cars in a truck and go to Osaka.
+ Great, see you there, take care.

I talked to my boss (owner of SLP) about this and he said me that we need to evacuate asap
we need to pick up from the workshop the most reachable things like parts, tools and stuff.
The rest of stuff we needed to leave it there, also he said us to get our stuff and get out of Tokyo.
I will go to Osaka to the SLP HQ and store my cars while my boss rent a house for staying there
We will ship some of our cars and tools in a truck, mainly the Supra, the G35 and my gf car, i will show it to you in a second.
(Yea, i'm moving to Osaka, tokyo rn is pretty dangerous and surely the house or the shop will get pretty bad damage.

So, we need to take out our cars...



My R33 is already with some of our stuff and ready to go, but some other stuff not...





This is Jess car (my girlfriend). A 1992 Nissan Silvia with Onevia frontend.




It got an SR20DET engine with Neo VVL head, hks cams, Brian Crower internals,
Garrett GTX3576R turbo, AEM Infinity ECU, Custom fuel cell, S15 6-Speed transmission, EXEDY Clutch



BC Racing Coilovers, Angle kit, r34 stockies, and some other stuff

This is my girlfriend's project, she bought it with a stock sr and the classic drift car project look, but it broke all the time, the engine blew up and it had a lot of gremlins, so she started to redo all the stuff needed, new engine, transmission, clutch, cams, internals, ecu, fuel cell, suspension stuff but she never got the time to finish it, she works on it some days, but still no major progress, i wanted to help her, but she wants to do it on her own
Luckily, the car is already built and the things needed to run are on it, just needs some stuff on the ecu and the car will run
Then we will be able to move it to the truck,and when we get to Osaka and the situation got better, then we will work on it to finish it and getting it road legal.


3:20pm

After doing some settings on the S13, packing up some stuff and getting the r33 ready




We will move the S13 to the trailer and drive to the shop, to get the other cars ready, the stuff that we will take with us
Evacuating some cars of the crew and drive to a safe place.



3:50

After a little drive, we arrived to the workshop



Now we need to pack our stuff, get ready the cars




The supra and G35 will be shipped in a truck, so they are safe, and also because we don't have nobody to drive them.



The red R33 will be driven to Osaka by Toru and Ichijo, two friends and SLP coworkers,
Their cars were already evacuated and they have family in Osaka, so they will be driving this car to there.
(they worked on the hq before SLP tokyo started)



And the black R33 will be driven by Jess and me. Why this one and not the red one?
Simple, this isn't too much lowered and this one have the stock comfortable seats lol.

And the van (i don't have photos because isn't special lol) will be driven by Masashi, another SLP coworker and friend
He already evacuated his car, and also got family in Osaka (he worked on the hq before SLP tokyo started)

5:00pm

The van is ready, the cars too





The Supra and G35 were already in the truck with the S13

But first we need to help to evacuate some friend's cars...





This is Hantaro's 99' R34 GTT, RB25DET with a lot of goodies, around 500hp
Carbon fiber hood, BC Racing coilovers, BBK, 18' Work wheels, etc
He will be on our convoy, he will go with us but he will go to Kameyama, he got family there, so he will be safe.



And this is Mika's slammed to the ground, 06' Nismo Fairlady-Z
The car has 326power coilovers, 19'inch wheels (i don't remember the model)
Full exhaust system, tomei cams, and some stuff, but is basically stance build
She will go to Kyoto, but i don't know how she will drive like 600kms on a car that can't pass a speedbump...
But hey, let's see

At this point, the wind was very strong and the sky turned out to be purple, so we needed to evacuate ASAP.
We got on the cars and drive, we were in a Whatsapp group call and we have walkie talkies to talk if the signal dies.







(-): Me, (+): Hantaro, (*): Mika, (=): Toru and Ichijo, (&): Masashi.


- : Hey guys, how the trip is going?

+: For me is doing great

=: From here we are good

*: Me too, but idk how much this p.o.s will be driveable
=: Hahahaha, you didn't need to slam your car in the first place
*: Shut up! When your cars are here you can talk to me, until that, fuck you pedestrians!
-: Hahahahaha
&: Enough? Damn kiddos.
*: Shut up van man!






6:00pm

All was going great, but something happened

*: Ouch, that was a heavy bump
-: Hey Mika, your car is losing oil, you broke the oil pan
*: Shit, is losing too much?
=: Not so much, but a decent amount
*: Okay, i will stop in a parking lot and later call my boyfriend and rent a truck to tow it.
=: Shit, i will go with you

Mika in a pothole broke the oil pan, her car was losing oil, so we needed to stop asap.
Luckily, we found a parking lot of a shopping, so we were good to park her car





-: Damn, what a shame
*: Really, but hey, isn't the end of the world, the engine is okay, and if it isn't, i will swap a JZ
-: Haha, okay, you will be good?
*: Yeah, i will call my boyfriend and rent a truck and trailer, so we can tow this shit out of here.
-: Okay, take care, call me when you arrive
*: Thank you Frank, see you soon, take care.

*Walkie talkie*

-: Boys, Mika will leave us, her car broke the oil pan
+: Damn, what a shame
=: I told ya
&: Shit, okay
-: Where you are?
+: In a gas station near the parking lot, get here, refuel and keep going
-: Okay, i'm going...





After going to the station, refuel and buying something to eat, we kept driving





October 13th, 2019. 1:30am

Finally, after a long ass trip we arrived to Osaka.



Toru took the red R33 to his parents house, at the morning he will leave it in SLP
Masashi left the van in SLP and went with his parents.
It started to rain, but at least isn't as heavy as the incoming situation in tokyo, luckily we are safe.
Goddamn, i'm tired asf!

9:30am

After a good sleep time, we are ready to check SLP HQ again, damn, i'm nostalgic asf!
Also the rain stopped, so, let's go to the shop, the cars should be there rn...




11:00am



We are back, we are back!
I missed this place, really.










The cars arrived safe and sound! I was really worried of them getting flooded or crushed by a tree
Luckily we evacuated them successfully.




Also Toru bringed back the red R33




Also my black R33 is here, the Frankie fleet is back!
Now, let's get to work, see you later.

Bois, a lot of things happened...




My r33's got sold, yeah, i sold them, why?
I lost passion on them, the red one was a daily and the other was a "let's see what happen" project
I love them, but i don't know what to do? And i'm not feelin' these cars, idk
and before dumping heavy money on them while being insecure if i want or not, i rather sell them and get money.

The red one sold for 15K, and the black one for 11k.

Also, SLP is going in a difficult situation, low sales, tokyo shop getting destroyed (flooded and a tree fell on top)
So probably if the situation doesn't get better, probably in new year will close, so i need a good money,
But hey, i can get a job in Tomei or Greddy and do great stuff...

Also i got some little surprises, so i needed money.
I bought a great project, that will need good money, also some other stuff, here's some teasers



More on that in the next update...

@NotPerfect : Yeah, it's a crazy project, i will do some stuff on it, but is her car lol
And also, you don't recognise that s14? check some rp's and you will find it, this will be a hell of a project!

I will do an update of that soon!

[NotPerfect]

I mean i do but i wasn't sure if it's about that sibling s14 to mine, it is dope af

[SimplifyHerb]

Glads most of your car is safe and sound, and oh god you bought S14?

[FranklinAnderson]

I mean i do but i wasn't sure if it's about that sibling s14 to mine, it is dope af

@NotPerfect : Thanks dude! Luckily lagano is a friend of mine of a while ago, and after Hagibis, his RB26 swapped S14 got heavily flooded, but i didn't want to see the car in a junkyard, so i bought it pretty cheap actually, let's see how the thing goes, if the engine is screwed, no problem, in the chassi i alread got what i paid as a rolling shell, and in the suspension the profit, so no loss! lol.
But i want to resurrect this car. Enough of speaking, i'm leaking 2 much lol

Glads most of your car is safe and sound, and oh god you bought S14?

@Buzzsaw : Thank you, hopefully they were evacuated without problems, and yea, i bought it, i will update the situation soon...
This project will be epic.

[Nick Shovkin]

Hey! I am glad that most of the cars are safe! And what are you going to do with the S14?

[FranklinAnderson]

Hey! I am glad that most of the cars are safe! And what are you going to do with the S14?

@Nick Shovkin : Thank youuu! Luckily, all of my cars were evacuated at the right time, and about the S14, you will see it soon, i will do a big update on it, but first i need to set some stuff, but this project will be great!

[Soju]

Glad you and your gang's cars are safe, but sad to see R33s go

[BigSmoke]

I'm sooo glad all of your and your coworkers cars are safe.....but it's quite sad to see both R33 went away-wait, if the red R33 was your daily, does that mean the Supra is back for the daily duties again? Or is it going to be the S14's job? (And yes, I'm glad to see Ziga's S14 moving on to the right hands )

@BigSmoke : AYEEEEEEEEEE BIGGIEEEEE, WASUP?
Yeah, luckily we evacuated at the right time...
About the R33's, yeah, it's sad because they were really great cars, but i lost the motivation, so yeah...
And about the daily... YEET TO THE DEAL, jk, but yeah, probably the yeet35 and the supra will do some daily duties, but i will pick up a shitbox for daily, and about the s14, this project will be the 2nd most ambitious project that i did, besides the supra, i will try to do it as perfect as possible, you will love this project...

Glad you and your gang's cars are safe, but sad to see R33s go

@Soju : Heeey boyeee, whatsup?
Thank you, the evacuation was a P.I.T.A but we did it and the cars are safe
And about the r33's, yeah, i'm sad too, but hey, i lost motivation, and before dumping a lot of cash in cars that i don't have the motivation to do it, i rather sell them and get something that motivates me, for example, the s14, i'm so hyped for that project, you will love it guys!

[Lagano]

I'm glad you jumped on the S14, i just didn't have the time to rebuild it or save it in the first place. Take your time for it and bring it back to life!

[FranklinAnderson]

I'm glad you jumped on the S14, i just didn't have the time to rebuild it or save it in the first place. Take your time for it and bring it back to life!

Thank you for sell it to me! I promise you that you will love the end result!

Ｓｕｐｒａｎｉｖｅｒｓａｒｙ：　Ａ　ｙｅａｒ　ｏｆ　ａ　ｄｒｅａｍ　そヹち囲ョ咽

A year already, a year of a dream becoming true, i'm speechless, let's see this from the beginning...

November 2nd, 2018



I was recently moved to Japan to reunite with my old friend from Highschool Erwin Fenyvesi
I got a really good job at Street Legal Performance in Osaka, a nice house, a nice rent on a personal shop
And some cars like :



My beloved Nissan Skyline HCR32 GTST Type-M



My K-Swapped Nissan 240SX



And my Nissan Silvia S15 Type-S, recently bought

Everything went normal, until i saw a really special car for sale, it was really cheap, i offered my R32 and 3k for his car
He accepted, so i went to his workshop to set the deal, a couple hours later, everything was done...






I was oficially, the proud owner of a 95' Toyota Supra RZ Coupe!
I couldn't believe it, it was, it was, mindblowing
All of my dreams from my childhood were becaming true.
Also it was slightly modded, Blitz bodykit,
Volk F-Zero 18' wheels, NSX Orange imola pearl paint, Tein Coilovers and some little lil' stuff
After an hour of admiring my new car and thinking, i turned the key and went back home




Still i remember that day, Sunday 2 of November of 2018,
blasting C.R.E.A.M from Wu-Tang Clan in my 2000's alpine, rowing each one of the 6 gears
Loving my new dream car, and thinking a lot of stuff to do with it.
I arrived to my workshop and took more photos of her.






I was excited, i loved it as it was, but keeping it stock wasn't in my plans
So after some days of earning money, i left it in SLP and started the Transformation!

Phase 1 : 540-ish hp

We started with new shoes and socks!






18 inch Enkei RPF1's for the baby!
Those were a trade with a coworker, i gave him the Volk's and he gave me the RPF1's
I liked the old wheels, but i'm a sucker for RPF1's, you know me...

Then, some new clothes...







To be fair, i didn't liked it that much the Blitz aero and Chargespeed wing, it was too 2000ish, so, what i did?
Trade it for a stock bumper with TRD front lip, stock sideskirts, stock rear bumper with CF Diffuser, trd wing and LED Tail lights
These modifications made this car a lot more modern!

Then we disassembled a lot of the body and took out the engine, it's time to paint!






This was the last time for me and for us to see it on his Imola Pearl Orange paint

A few days after, it was ready <3






FINALLY! This was the thing that the Sup needed!
Active Red (AR2) new paint!
With the new bodykit, wheels and other stuff, the red gives the perfect touch!
The cherry of the cake!
And if u thought that i left the engine stock, you are veeeery wrong!
This 2JZ got a lot of love!
With Erwin we did a lot of work, let me show the end result!





(Ignore the fact that it's a 1JZ, i needed to recreate a 2jz of 500hp with good quality
to make the difference from this setup to the known 1410hp one lol, just pretend that is a 2JZ)

We put a lot of passion, money and love into this engine!
This 2jz got a new CX Racing GT40 Turbo kit, also a new HKS Plenum, custom fuel rail with 850CC injectors, New AEM fuel pump,
Stage 2+ Clutch and flywheel kit, AEM Standalone ECU, Ported head, new Koyorad radiator and a Blitz pressure regulator.
This thing after a dyno tune got 532hp! The turbos can give us 650 but i need new cams, so yeah, but 532 is aight for me
And overall, the car is safe of the damage, so it's pretty bulletproof 4 now.











I love the end result of this thing! From that stock-ish 320hp Supra with a 2000's aesthetic
To this modernized dailyable beast, it was a hell of a change!

After finishing with the build and some little details, we went for a drive...
I picked up @BigSmoke from his crib in the Sup and went to a drive and for some food at McDonalds,






Luckily Clucking Bell doesn't exist, because if they existed, Biggie would leave me in debt with his obsession for n°9's

Overall, Supra Phase 1: A complete Success!

Phase 2: 1410 Wangan Beast!

After some runs in C1, i blew my head gasket, luckily i had enough money to fix it and the engine wasn't damaged
But if i was tearing apart half engine, maybe it was time to fully built it and make it insanely powerful!
And even more nicer!



With the car in the garage, we started!





We took out the engine and part it out, and started to work on it
The parts were here so, we got to work on it!



We installed a Ground & Micro polished crankshaft (.010) with Manley forged turbo Tuff I-beam rods w/ARP 625+ bolts, also we put new JE FSR series pistons 87 mm forged pistons with 9:1 C/ratio & Total Seal Rings, we bored the cylinders on Rottler Block CNC machining center, we alligned bored & honed main housing bore and put ARP main studs, also new KING HP rod & main bearings and the block was machined for removable screw in plugs to insure cleanliness through out the oil passages.
Also we put the Stage 5+ Clutch and Flywheel kit, so we can put the power through the V160 Getrag!
And a TRD oil filter




Then we put the head, that also had a lot of work:
The head has a more aggresive port, we also installed new bronze guides, we did a valve job, we give the head clearance for hi-lift cams, chambers, lash, mill, we assembled with Ferrea pro-dual spring-kit, comp plus intake valves, pyromet exhaust valves and locks (including shimless buckets), new water pump and a new greddy cambelt.
Also with new Brian Crower Stage 4 camshafts with HKS Adjustable gears






Then we put a new Precision 8685 Billet 86mm Ball Bearing GT42 Turbo with a custom manifold by SLP, custom intake plenum by SLP,
Greddy Intercooler, 50mm Wastegate, HKS blowoff, new fuel rail with 2000cc injectors, HP ignition coil packs and new NKG Iridium sparkplugs
And a complete custom SLP exhaust system with an HKS Evolution muffler.

Then we installed the rest of the body, new bodykit!






This incluided Blitz rear bumper, Blitz sideskirt (that i didn't end up liking so i swapped them for some Top secret ones, you will see em in another pic), TRD fenders and Intake headlight for the Turbo.
Also we installed new bushings for the suspension, changed the Teins for some new Type-R Greddy's that will be better for this job,
We put new adjustable tie rods, an aluminum driveshaft, Cusco Hybrid LSD, and a Brembo BBK that incluided SRT8 6pt Calipers and Lexus ISF discs!
Also new tyres for the RPF1's, i chose the classic Dunlop Direzza's, i don't remember the variant.
Now the suspension was ready for the new power!



After putting the body together, we started her up, and luckily, it was sounding beautyful and running like a champ!
But i needed to do something like 700kms for preparing the engine before dynoing at full hp, but first we needed to do a little thing...

We needed to paint it ASAP, so i let the car to the SLP boys and they called me a week later, it was ready!
And oh my fucking god...







It was better than ever!
They did a new colour inspired of the AR2 colour, it's perfect,
it goes perfectly armonious with all the new modifications, it's my dream becaming true!





After a month of driving it like a granny, the engine was ready!
We changed the oil and checked everything, the luck was in our side, so we took it to the dyno!






And we started with the dyno




At first we were expecting 900 at most, in the first pull it was already on 920,
and it was kinda low pressure because the turbo max out at 1500, so we kept going,
The engine block and internals max out at 1500 and the head at 2000, so, 1500 was the limit.

And all of a sudden, it happened



1410HP!

We were like crazy seeing that number, the trophy of months of labor, parts and money were paid!
I still can believe it today!
We preset the ECU with a lot of caution features for avoiding damage in the engine, and i gave it a go




AND OH MY FUCKING GOD, THIS THING WAS INCREDIBLE
It wants to go ballistic in every moment, but still so precise to give u confidence!
It's a machine that if u respect, she will respect u.
It's incredible, and i can't believe that this is my car!
(btw, if u wonder how much i topped this thing, 376kmh!, it wanted more and it was going for more,
but i was a lil scared of my life, maybe if i test it correctly 385 will be the limit, also hello Osaka and Tokyo police!)
The more crazy thing is, that it's still legal for the streets and pass shaken, it's unbelieveable.

Days later i moved to Tokyo, and the sup came with me, it didn't got so many changes except the fact that the car got a lot more action in Wangan!
Lots of racers and in all of them she behaved like a champ!









Then , after some grip problems, we decided to upgrade it a little bit more!






I had to say goodbye to the RPF1's and get these Hyperlock HL-06S 18 'wheels that costed me A LOT!
Also i put Dunlop Direzza tyres, And a new AP racing BBK




Also we put New upper and lower control arms, new anti roll bar, new HKS hypermax IV coilovers
And a new turbo intake headlight for more symmetry and better cooling.






It behaved A LOT BETTER! No more grip issues, more precise feeling, no body roll at all and overall better handling!

And then, November 2nd of 2019 arrived.






A whole year of this project, A WHOLE YEAR.
A whole year where i achieved one of my dreams
A whole year of a beautyful ownershift and craftsmanship of this car
A whole year when i knew a lot of beautyful people thanks to this car
A whole year of events and racing, and wangan runs.
A whole year of a dream that became true!

But now, Supra project is finished at 100% percent.
I can't do nothing more to it, really.
I did everything i wanted to it, and that strange and sad feeling of completing a project car at the point that you can't do nothing more
The feeling that you have to part ways from your project, let it go.
I'm heavily sad, but i need to move on, and the supra too.

This aniversary and this whole complete build in a post remembering all of the stuff done to this project
All of those memories, those epic and beautyful moments.
They will never go away, they'll be in my heart.
But i need to move on from the Supra. It's time.
Maybe someday i can reunite with her, but for now it's time, it's done.
I'll ship it to USA next week or past next week, i'll go to Tsukuba with the boys for doing the last event.

Hopefully the next owner will love it as much as i love her
And hopefully, he gets the same feeling of driving on the canyons while listening to Wu-Tang Clan without believing that you are driving your dream car, that you are driving the fruits of all of your hardwork, and feeling the beginning of a complete new project, and the achieving of a new life based on his new dream.

Thank u Supra for all those memories
For those races, for all the nights modding you, you became so great but you made me so different
You made me love what i do, and you were my motivation.
Thank you for all my Sup, i'll always love you.

It's not a goodbye, it's a See you later...

Boys and gals, don't forget this phrase : Be careful of what you desire, because it can became real.
Go outside, chase your dreams, do all the hard work that you need.
Everything is possible if you work hard enough
Look at me, i was a dumb ass in illinois, if i didn't found motivation and help from my friend Erwin,
i would be in Illinois with a 240SX, dreaming about this.
And now i completed one dream, and i'm entering another one (more on that later hehe).
It isn't impossible to achieve your dreams my boys and gals, work hard and you'll achieve them.
Chase your dreams, work hard for them.
They will became true, trust me.

That's all for this update, hopefully you liked it.
And remember, go for all or go home!

- Franklin.

GOD DAMN i sincerely hope that you dont fuckin DIE trying to keep that thing planted to the road!
Jokes aside, the Supra looks really good now undoubtedly. Though kinda underwhelming, because who in their right mind would guess it packs such a hard punch under the hood
