Herb Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks a lot for the kind words!!! Really pleased to see you guys appreciate the build!!! @charlton: I don't have a specific picture of the sto'n'sho number plate system, you can sport the little bracket in the "mouth" of the car on the upper side. Basically it is a little bracket that is mounted inside the mouth that allows you to get rid of alle the stock holes on the bumper while doing a respray. Then you have another detachable construction to put the numberplate surround on. There is no Supra specific version available. I ended up buying one for the 05+ Mustang and basically put it upside down as originally engineered. This requires some little tweaks but nothing major I'd say. All in all it is definitely worth it and a really functional and clean mod in my opinion. I can give some more technical insight or provide detailed pics if you want me to. I can also provide contact data of Big Mike who is the manufacturer in the US. @hamzahkhan: Yes you're definitely right. I'm planning on doing a professional video, let's say similar to those "RWB Porsche" videos but more on a budget haha, kind of an image clip about the car. This might still take some time but smartphone videos simply don't do the sound justice. @Kendo 11 and Logie: Never say never. This car wasn't built in a day either. I worked 6 years on that car Keep chasing your dreams and someday everything will be worth it, I promise! Regards, Herb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Have you got a dyno sheet for the 300hp? Interested to see it compared with the 300hp ITB supra in usa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 @ Mike2JZ: i do have dyosheets, yes. I actually did dynoruns almost every year over the course of time in oder to being able to tell if the recent mod performed as it should. I don't post them officially on forums, facebook etc. as we have to pay tax per horsepower over here. So I could get into severe trouble tbh. In comparisson with Brendan's itb Supra mine performs pretty well I'd say. Whereas his is unbeatable in response (his goal was response, not peak power) the response of my GE is actually pretty good as well. Especially when it's allready moving, my real CAI (with the carbon duct below the indicator in the front bumper) does its job. It's kind of a "natural supercharger", Porsche did something similar with the recent 991 GT3RS by using the intercooler ducts from the turbo models as a CAI. They managed to bump HP wirh just this mod by about 15-20hp when the car's moving. I'm not saying that mine is the same but still it's noticeable. I really like the idea of itb's but I'm very satisfied with my current intakte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraTRD_MK4 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Indeed this is beautiful. Really a master piece of a car. Congrats on coming up with this and making it real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Thank you so much for the kind words to all of you! I'm currently in the process of acquiring parts for a little update/evolution on my car (few more carbon parts aso) as well as a forged lightweight steel flywheel from Japan (including new clutch and basically everything renewed in terms of transmission, propshaft carrier bearing aso). So will definitely post a few updates in this thread every now and then this season.

SupraTRD_MK4 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nice to hear mate. Once again a real spectacular car there. Marvel at the way you have done it and the power it achieves without a turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
