Supercoupe Build

[Bridger Bollinger]

Hello everyone my buddy bought a rust free supercoupe shell that i had and wanted to build it. Now he is swapping in a Toyota 2jz that he has sitting around. I know some of you guys will like it and some of you guys will hate it but figured i would share the build with you on here. I will keep you guys updated on it as we progress.

Mock up motor is in and sitting on factory slant 6 motor mounts

OK, this is actually pretty damn cool. Is this a turbo model and what/if any performance upgrades are planned?

 

[Bridger Bollinger]

Yes it will be turbo he has a built motor out of his drift supra that he is putting in the car but he had a block to use for mock up.

I've been waiting for the drift kids to get tired of looking at 90s Japanese plastic.
There's a world of cool looking iron hulks out there just begging to be welded onto an angle/lock kit and paired with some slow motion Instagram sliding.

... But let him know if was looking for maximum respect he would fab and tune a turbo MPFI Slant Six instead. Ingenuity beats wallet size.

 

[Bridger Bollinger]

Yeah the whole reason he liked the supercoupe is because of the flares and colors he said it reminds him of toyota colors and jdm flares so he said why not just swap a 2jz in it that he has laying arround

Definitely will be different when he pops the hood

Really not much of a difference in weight between the chassis either. Is he going to do anything with the suspension? Sure as hell won't handle like a Supra.

He's gonna end up going with bigger sway bars in front and rear and 8 3/4 rearend
