JPS Toyota Supra
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
To conquer the Pro class of the HKS Drag Series is one thing, to do it twice in succession takes a very, very special car. Never mind a car that still has it’s original steel quarter panels, roof, spoiler, bumpers and lights.
The car before you is that of Leon Green, owner of JPS Motorsport and the car was built for two reasons, one as a test bed for his customer’s cars and two for Leon’s own personal goal of running consistent six second passes. Continue reading at Speedhunters

Scorch Racing Blitz Drag Supra
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
Back in 2008 this Scorch Racing Supra kind of raised a few eyebrows after its appearance on the Blitz stand at the Tokyo Auto Salon. At the time it seemed strange that Blitz would get involved with a drag project, as interest in the scene has died down in Japan. I originally shot it for Turbo magazine, now long gone since being axed in late 2008, and at the time the car was supposed to be raced within a few months, ready to set those record passes everyone was expecting from it. But nothing really happened for a good two years.
I was very surprised the other weekend in Sendai Hi-Land when out of nowhere it showed up at the strip. I had completely forgotten about it but it looked like the project, after a little pause, is back on track. It was the car’s first outing and it achieved what it set out to do within a few passes, so the Scorch Racing and Blitz guys were extremely happy. The car put down a series of low 9-second runs before recording a 9-sec dead at the end of its first practice day. See more pics and continue reading at Speedhunters.

58,000-Mile Supra on eBay
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
This low-miles Supra was bought by a father and son from a previous owner who’d driven it only as a weekend fun car until he put it in storage in 2006. The only thing wrong with it when they got it was that it had been sitting, and after fresh fluids, tires, and a few spare parts, it runs and drives pretty much like new. It’s rare to see one of these that hasn’t been thrashed to hell–take a look at the eBay auction.

Supra Test Mule – But What’s it For?
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
Hello all, this one’s a little different…On the Gazoo Racing day out at Fuji Speedway on Friday, a number of us remarked on a fleet of six Supra JZA80s driving down the main straight while we were tucking into our bento lunches. The cars were all conspicuously old and very worn looking, at least on the surface – each appearing to have covered an extraordinary amount of mileage – I’m talking a million klicks-type of levels here. The cars were obviously well-used test mules. But what were they being used for (at least on this occasion….). Continue reading at Speedhunters

Curve Abflug Supra
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
After seeing a widebody JZA80 at Fuji Speedway last month for the HKS Premium Day I was instantly reminded of this Abflug-Curve Supra I shot a few years back. To this day it is one of the most extreme body conversions I have seen, along with another mega-wide Abflug JZA80 I snapped years ago. You can always count on the guys at Abflug to shock and come up with unique designs with this particular GT-05 kit taking inspiration from the Supras that used to race in the JGTC championship, now known as the Super GT.

Moto Supra

Editor-in-Chief
Tokyo Auto Salon often brings out stuff that makes SEMA seem tame. So how about an Eleanor based on a fourth generation Toyota Supra? The students from Saitama University’s automotive course who built this named it “Moto Supra.” More pics after the jump! Via Car Scoop
