I'm the second owner of this 1995 Twin Turbo MKIV Supra purchased in '99 with only 24K miles. The modifications have slowly changed and evolved into what the car looks like today.

Originally when the car was black, I added rare 18" silver 5Zigen wheels. Shortly thereafter a wingswest front lip was added. Eventually a full Bomex kit was ordered before the first F&F(same as used in the movie) when they were still known for quality kits. The wheels were swapped for gunmetal Volk GT-N's and a euro oem hoodscoop was added along with a Bomex whale tail. Back in '02, the car went through a color change from black into Royal Saphire Pearl blue known as "RSP".

The oem twin turbo's which were slowly going bad were recently swapped for a T67 single turbo using a Boostlogic kit. Since the gunmetal wheels had been on the car for several years it was time for a change. The gunmetal wheels were changed for silver Volk GT-C's for a brighter look. A custom made Modellista TS1 carbon fiber hood was added for an updated look. APR carbon fiber mirrors were also added to match the whole cf theme. More recently a custom front bumper with carbon fiber accents was also installed on the car. It's a limited run Modellista Type3 cf bumper - Doluck style, #2 out of the first 4 made(A second batch of these limited bumpers has since been made). A Rod Millen Motorsports- "RMM" wing with a carbon fiber center replaced the previous Bomex "whaletail" wing. A carbon fiber Modellista GT mini spoiler was also added which sits on the hatch under the wing.

The best quartermile run on oem twins was a 12.14 @ 118.70mph with a 1.89 60ft on stock stall on 18" Nitto 555 Extreme ZR's with full interior + spare, sub and tools. Other go fast mods planned to be added: a rebuilt tranny, a higher stall, upgraded fuel system and AEM EMS.

Very nice. It seems as though you get bored with certain parts such as rims easily.

Very nice, Matt, looking great as usual. Watching the evolution has been interesting too, sort of like following a movie series ...swedemix and the Supra of doom playing at a movie near you

Hi Matt. What front bumper is that? I like it. I always liked the TRD style front bumper and the old design TS front bumper since they were relatively simple, clean design and that large, wide-open air inlet.

So I hope you and the family are doing fine. You guys must have a few kids by now, right? ;)

Hi Nick,
it's an authentic Ridox front. It fit 100% and I'm very happy with how it came out. Less busy looking than my previous fronts and it kinda looks like a lower stock front with a JGTC style bottom part.

Family is doing great and the kids have already moved out...lol! J/k, still working on the baby part. It'll either be one that'll get to park next to the sup or the other kind that needs a crib parked next to us.

How's your family? I think I read somewhere you are single? ;)

I'm sure I have offended my wife enough that she could consider dumping me, but she hasn't yet.

As far as turbos, I'm still collecting parts ;) I already have the cast manifold, wastegate, downpipe and some plumbing; I expect to have the turbo, fuel system, and MAP ECU within the next couple weeks, and either a custom sidemount some of us are working on, or a FMIC if that doesn't pan out ...I like Chris's bar & plate over the Greddy 3 row; then it's tear apart and replace time so I hope to hit the track with the small single before Spring ends.

One of my track buddies stepped up from a nicely worked LS1 Firebird to a modified LS1 powered FD so I don't want to be left behind :sheep2:
