Nice pics. Great cars.

As for the Skyline...I love em. But I think part of that appreciation is the rarity of them.

Everytime I see skyline pictures I kick myself for not shipping mine back from Okinawa.

That gold supra was on the front cover of Superstreet May 2006 "How to burn out like a PRO" I saw it in person at ToyotaFest 2006 in Long Beach last year when I won Best MR2 trophy. That Supra was DOPE! Apparently they were boasting about having put $100,000 into the supra.... NUTZ!

Here is a full picture I took of it at Last year's ToyotaFest:

Yeah, I have a couple snaps of the engine bay of the Supra I could edit up if everyone wanted to see.

yeah the supra was pretty insane! spent $100,000 on it they said, Very impressive work on that car! But it seems like such a waste because they don't even drive it!

I love modifying cars but I think ti sucks when it is too nice that they don't want to drive it, they should have fun with it!

did you check if it was RHD?

I'm not 100% sure but that looks like an R32 rear end and i have heard of some 240sx doing the r32 rear/front end conversions.

Yeah, I saw all of the Skylines and such leaving the show as well driving down the 710 and have seen a couple different Skylines out and about in previous trips to LA before moving here.

I know there some in town. They should let me have their cars.

This is merely my opinion [so please don't torch me].


First of all, I am an extreme Toyota Freak. (I mean, I love my Z33 but my passion lies with old school rare Toyota sportscars.) I've ALWAYS been a big JZA80 fan but I'm extremely picky about any car that I'm seen in no matter how expensive it is or how fast it is. With that said, I'm all for extreme horsepower but I'd never own a JZA80 unless it was wingless (even the OEM wing needs to go), NO body kits, NO decals, logos or plate frames (unless it's a plain flat black frame), NO carbon fiber (unless it's color matched) and it has to be silver, gray, black or Midnight (very deep and dark) Blue. [custom paint] Period.

If they want to stuff the engine bay and chassis with hundreds of thousands of dollars in mods it's all good as long as the car appears like the above description and is running 19" BBS RS-GT's or LM's (silver finish; NO chrome) and is perfectly dumped...


The way I see it, there's nothing wrong with dumping tons of cash into a car's performance if you have the means but the looks absolutely need to be executed in a CLEAN fashion. I can't stress this enough.



Once again this is purely just my opinion but rice belongs on your plate, not your prized vehicle... Even if the rice costs more than 100-300 grand, it's still the same-rice is rice... All the money in the world can't buy good taste.

I agree with you to a point but the thing about the Top Secret car is that there is a purpose behind all of it's mods so I have a hard time calling them rice.

Really wide wheels needed wider fenders.

Stickers are there for all the sponsors.

Wing for downforce on high speed runs.

It's a purpose built car just with a very different purpose than most of us have for our cars.
