2021 Supra 1998 E36 M3 LS3 Twin Turbo

I am making this thread to document my two builds as I am constantly working on both cars. I work in the auto industry Mon-Thurs but I am also a photographer and shoot weddings on the weekend but I will keep this thread stocked with up-to-date photos. I am doing all the work out of my 2 car garage in Charlotte NC.

The goal with the M3 is 1000hp but retaining full streetability with AC and power steering and should be cranking it for the first time pretty soon. I'm making good progress right now.

The goal with the Supra is to have the perfect daily driver that can do it all. Hopefully 700hp without any sacrifices while maintaining reliability. If something breaks I'll build it stronger.

Gotta say, beautiful build! Personally not my cup of tea, as I am little bit purist, but it deserves a thumbs up for dedication:thumbsup:

Nice build yourself! Thanks for sending the pics. In terms of the Supra for a daily I have truly enjoyed it. I have had MK4's, C7Z06, GTR's, etc and I really have enjoyed this car for a daily. I would 100% recommend it for you.

If now given the chance to choose between a MK4 and the MK5 I would go with the MK5 with modern technology and creature comforts but that's just purely my opinion. Granted my exhaust is pretty loud but I can take my wife up to the mountains for some spirited driving and she's not complaining about anything and with all the assists you can set cruise control and take your feet off the pedals the entire time you're on the highway. The direct injection is also nice because mine doesn't have cats but you also don't smell like gas when you get to your location. The gas mileage is pretty good if you can stay out of it, I am not one of those people though.

I plan on building the Supra to be pretty rowdy for a street car but still not sacrifice anything, it's going to get interesting around 700hp and we shall see how it goes. Haha. Anways thanks for sharing your build and look forward to hearing how you do.

Thanks man! just dropped the E36 off at my body shop today, the full Carbon roof is being applied and sealed, then off to Rogue Engineering for buttoning things up. I cant wait!
Im still on the fence with the new Supra, I want it badly because I need a daily, something fun but I swore to myself to budget. I even went to test drive the 2019 Mazda Miata RF club and shit I swear its the best drivers car. Affordable but....im 6'1 at 245lbs muscular (Ex-bodybuilding competitor) I fit in the mazda which surprised me but....long trips with the girlfriend, bags and such......may be the Supra in the end. Oh yea, I cant leave anything stock, I have the itch.
Cant wait to see what else you do with your cars man. Enjoy!

A couple of rolling shots I took on the way to Rockingham Dragstrip. She ended up running 11.5 with 100 octane, catless downpipe, 305 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials, and a dyno tune from MHD Tuning done at CES Motorsports in Charlotte.

The dyno tune produced 477whp and 538tq.

More to follow!
