Hello, my name is Adam and I own a 1987 Toyota Supra. I bought this car as a shell in March of 2007 and have since swapped in a 5-speed transmission, 1JZ-GTE Twin-Turbo motor, and an almost completely clean interior (just needs a little work, but only to the center console arm rest and drivers seat [small tear]). I have been recently dyno'd at 310 RWHP and 302 RWTQ. My current list of parts to install are the high beams for my custom flushmount headlights, machined 2JZ-GTE cams (good for about 15-20 RHWP), and a new FMIC. My goal is to make this car as clean as possible while keeping a fairly stock appearance as well as being very streetable.
Eventually I would like to repaint the entire car with a frame off paint job that will include shaving all unneccessary holes and divets in the engine bay as well as painting the side trim to match the car. If possible, I would like to do a custom widebody kit that looks like it's stock while being 2-3 inches wider at the fenders. I post regularly on an international Supra forum called Supramania (over 1000 active members daily), as well as keeping a Cardomain profile. On Supramania, I am constantly updating my build thread and helping out the community. Here is a list of my current mods.

I love this car because it something like no other and is a car that I have built from nothing and is now a very nice car that is getting nicer with time. When I got it my Supra had no interior, motor, or tranny and had locked up rear brakes. I want to build this car into an extremely clean Supra that will win awards at shows as well as be able to be very streetable and be raced on both the 1/4 mile drag strip and the road coarse. My eventual power goal is 600 RWHP with a custom twin-turbo setup so as to keep turbo lag to a minimum. I am looking for a partial to full sponsorship and would love to have a body shop sponsorship to get the dream paint job. As far as looks go's, I do not want a wing (except maybe a very low profile wing that blends into the body) and will not put neon lights on my car.
Here are pictures, although I need to take a new engine bay shot (even though my flushmount conversion isn't fully done).
