1994 Toyota Supra JZA80.

When i need a bit of a break from looking after all the sick 2 strokes this is what i like to play with. It used to be a daily driver but now its become a project car so i can do a few track days when time permits.

The Supra was designed to be at home at the race track. Not that 1/4 mile stuff but the true form of racing. Closed circuit.

It has many adjustments that a track car requires and is built to handle pretty impressive G forces. It has impressed many top drivers worldwide and is one of the true supercars from Japan.

The 2JZ engine is legendary worldwide and still to this day imporesses engine builders by its strength.

When time permits our little Supra will undergo several enhancements to improve its stability on the race track.

A new engine is also planned but its important to sort out the handling first and learn to drive this beast safely.
