Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I’m about to spill the beans on my Fast and Furious 94 Toyota Supra build. This wasn’t just some weekend project; this was a full-blown obsession. Let’s dive right in.
So, first things first, I found this ’94 Supra. It wasn’t pretty, let me tell you. Peeling paint, a sad excuse for an interior, and an engine that sounded like it was gargling rocks. But, underneath all that grime, I saw potential. I saw a freakin’ legend.
Stripped it down. Every nut, every bolt, every wire. It was a complete teardown. The interior went straight into the dumpster. The body got media blasted down to bare metal. No shortcuts here, people. I wanted this thing done right.
Next up, the engine. The 2JZ. I decided to go all out with it. New pistons, rods, crankshaft – the whole shebang. I upgraded the turbo, threw in some bigger injectors, and a custom exhaust system. I’m talking enough horsepower to make Vin Diesel jealous. Getting the engine back in was a proper pain, took me and my buddy nearly a full day to get it aligned and bolted down.
Then came the bodywork. This is where things got interesting. I wanted that iconic Fast and Furious look, but with my own twist. I went with a custom shade of orange, something that really pops in the sunlight. The body kit? I sourced it from a few different places, piecing it together to get exactly what I envisioned. Spent hours sanding and smoothing, making sure every panel was perfect.
The interior was a complete custom job. I ripped out all the old wiring and installed a brand-new system, modern gauges, a high-end sound system. I added racing seats, a roll cage (safety first, kids!), and wrapped everything in Alcantara and leather. Man, that was expensive. Getting the seats to fit just right was a real headache.
Finally, the paint job. I spent a week straight in the garage, laying down coats of primer, paint, and clear coat. The result? A finish so smooth and glossy, you could see your reflection in it. Honestly, I almost didn’t want to drive it after that, it looked so good.
The wheels. Can’t forget the wheels. I went with some lightweight forged wheels, wrapped in sticky performance tires. They look mean and grip like crazy.
Putting it all back together was like a giant puzzle. Hours spent under the car, tightening bolts, connecting wires, and double-checking everything. I replaced all the suspension components, the brakes, and the fuel lines. Every little detail mattered.
Then, the moment of truth. I turned the key, and the engine roared to life. A symphony of pure mechanical bliss. Took it for a spin around the block, and I couldn’t stop grinning. This wasn’t just a car; it was a freakin’ statement.
- Engine rebuild
- Bodywork and paint
- Custom interior
- Suspension upgrades
- Wheels and tires
It wasn’t easy, folks. There were times I wanted to give up, times when I thought I’d bitten off more than I could chew. But, in the end, it was all worth it. The satisfaction of building something with my own two hands, of taking a rusty old wreck and turning it into a freakin’ masterpiece… that’s priceless.
Challenges I faced:
- Finding the right parts (some were discontinued and rare)
- Wiring (Oh man, the wiring)
- Budget overruns (way over budget, actually)
So, there you have it. My Fast and Furious 94 Toyota Supra build. It’s a beast, it’s beautiful, and it’s all mine. I really hope this was helpful, and let me know if you want more build details!
