Default SC at Nopi Nats. Twin Turbo

Did anyone see the SC at Nopi Nationals with the tubular manifold and the twins? It had a 1JZ swap and was from the Atlanta area. It was sitting in the Toyo booth I think. I was wondering if anyone had any info on the turbo kit. It looked totally fabricated by someone but I would like to know who that someone is... Let me know if anyone has any info... Thanks Tommy D

The guy who owns that car is one of those strangers that pops up with a sick a$$ car but has never been to any kind of forums . My friend helped him do the 1JZ swap (he was one of the first to put it in an USDM mk. III supra). The car is running with a haltec and has the blitz twin upgrade from japan. It has the vertex kit, and 20in. 5zigen wheels (those new ones). I believe he lives in the marietta area. I think the dood actually owns some kind of performance shop. I have been dying for my buddy to take me up there to get a look at it...and maybe a ride as well. I didn't go to nopi to see it(nopi is not my sorta thing), but, from what im told, the car is really nice

I think the "guy" i'm talking about may be her husband or something, but there is definately a guy involved lol. I am located in Lilburn (Gwinnett) and drive a white '93 SC300 5 sp. on polished TT rims.

He has been to our site. He seems to have a 1.5 frankenstein. Goes by the handle, finishlinemotorsports.



This it? Or should I say, them?

Edit: not bad eh? The car I mean.

I don't know man, I'm having trouble making it past the passenger fender.













Honestly, I can't see through the windshield in that picture. It's too dark on my screen at least.

Yup, he seriously crammed himself behind the driver seat with no one in either of the front two.
