Supra Drag Car

This isnt a very original project, but I just love to make dragsters out of anything, so here's my Supra attempt.

Here's an overall shot. (Dont mind the green wheels, their just mock up wheels.)


A shot of the intercooler and removed headlamp.


The Drag version of a 2JZ, custom air guides too.


Just a nice aggressive stance.


A shot of the custom tail wing.


A shot of the path to the turbos.


The new exhaust dump, and new wheels.


Enjoi.

Alright, here's a few updates.

I started to fill in the front bumper and the rest of the un-wanted holes and indents in the body.


Here's a shot of the hood with a custom grille behind it.


Here's a shot of the motor and all it's majesty.


Here's a shot of the rear end suspension support.

Re: Supra Drag Car

I gotta admit. I don't have the time or energy to do the stuff you guys do to these cars. Amazing. I enjoy coming here to see what creative minds can do with these diecasts; it's a wonder that the Diecast Car companies don't come here to get ideas for better cars...

I'd still love to see a Real Eleanor come to Die-Cast in the public market for a fair price...

Keep up the amazing work fellas...

Yeah, wouldn't this car have absolutely ridiculous turbo lag? Wouldn't that make it difficult to use as a drag car?

The lag would be vicious, so I'm gonna add some horsepower in a bottle to end that.

And the Motor, I built all the plumbing, and added the turbos, and made the intercooler.
