Very nice, enjoy it in good health, must be a great feeling to see lots of planning money and time come to this outcome.

Thank you, and yes, just happy it'll finally be coming to an end soon.

Car made 930rwhp on C16 but we need to add stiffer wastegate springs to pull the extra 100hp out of the car. I finally said no. I want the car back!

Car comes home two weeks from today! Just in time for the final prep work before the big Supra event in Las Vegas next month. I have a roll cage and harnesses going in and have to get a couple paint imperfections fixed by a local shop but then it's 100% and I can finally say it's done (for now).

Pickup day came and went, sorting through the last of the details but if everything goes accordingly, on Sept 12 I should be having the best 26th birthday ever.

I had an incredible 26th birthday on Friday.









The car needs an alignment and I also have to fix a quick power steering issue so I haven't had a chance to get it out on the street yet but hopefully Monday night will be the maiden voyage.

Total nightmare getting this thing in but worked out great in the end. Took like 16 straight hours. Then went to put some 110 octane in. Got on the throttle in 3rd on the first setting (650hp) only once and it left me shaking for a good hour.

Happy birthday to you as well! Headed out to Vegas on Thursday for the annual Supra event! Like I said you should totally stop by the Excalibur and see them all if you're free.
