slapped rear tyres on as i cant wait any longer getting dicked around by extreme offset wheels, first rough cut, will take another inch out of the top of the arch for clearance then plate it all in   view  looks evil in person bit of rake on the go too  285 60 18 vs 215 45 17, i did have to cut the front and rear of the arch line as the tire is bigger then the gap between the sill and rear arch   Ash |

OM606's can sound good, but a well tuned Cummins makes my spine tingle. Go the whole hog and put a jake-brake* on it for the full auditory experience! *Disclaimer - I get the feeling that an exhaust brake would be bad news for drifting, especially in something so light. Eating your steering wheel every time you lift off probably won't help smooth drifts. It'd sound pretty special though Haha, I reckon that could work well actually, especially when shift-locking. Would need it on a lever or something so it only engages when you want it to. Thats how it works on my 32 tonner, lever on steering column activates it. My old 18 tonner had button on steering wheel and it would stay on till you turned it off. |

Wasn't expecting tyres like that! Complete lunacy, and I absolutely love it. More updates!

This build reminds me of what a few Aussie guys did a couple of years back. They went with a V8 into a Nissan Silvia but the wheel choice is very similar.

this is what happens when you have a REALLY great night in the pub...or eat cheese with just a little too much mould on it! either way this is so far outside the box it needs a new postcode!!

Not a real big fan of the Supra as it comes out of the box but this thing looks brilliant. The lift along with the big wheels really makes it.

This needs a tube front bumper with lots of spotlights, Baja pre-runner style. Awesome!

Oh wow, got a massive soft spot for Baja styled coupes. There's a chap in the states that has a similarly modded 350z:  The cummins is a cool choice, following this with interest. |

Not too much to update on been finishing off tubs on rear wheel arches that is a depressing and messy job I'm going few a few designs for the front bumper going to chop it on the line above the cannards and make a metal lower rear  bought new fibreglass wings and fit is well terrible so got to wrestle with them to get them even close  I'm using Disco 3 front arches x4 to cover the wheels too so should be a nice aggressive look Ash |
