My name is Darin, this is the evolution of my 1986.5 Supra.
Back in 2005 my dad first bought the 1986.5 Toyota Supra from a customer of his with a blown headgasket. It sat until 2009 when he finally had time to fix it and him and I disassembled the engine and reassembled it as a project. Over the next few years my dad taught me how to drive manual in the Supra and eventually it became my summer toy during 2011 in my junior year of high school. Finally at the end of May 2012 I graduated high school and my dad handed over the keys and the title and I got my first car and joined the Mk3 community. Over the next few years I finally began modifying the car since I could now call it mine.

Longblock:
7M-GTE "heavy" block
7M crank
Wiseco .020" over forged pistons
Eagle H-Beam rods
ARP main studs
ARP head studs
Clevite main and rod bearings

3 angle valve job
Full port and polish on both the intake and exhaust
Brian Crower valve springs and titanium retainers
Stock camshafts
New oil pump, water pump, seals, gaskets, etc.
Intake:
Stock intake manifold
Stock throttle body
Stock CT-26
Stock intercooler
Slightly re-routed intercooler piping
HKS SSQV blow off valve

7mm rack spacers
Interior:
Stock with stripped out rear
Exterior:

Moldings plasti-dipped white
Custom hood with late 90's z28 camaro hood scoop molded onto stock hood
Wheels:
(Main wheels for daily driving)
17x8 with 0mm offset Cragar D-Window plasti-dipped white
225-45-17 Cooper Zeon RS3-A with 1.5" hucentric spacers in front
The rear varies often, ranging from a 205-45/50-17 up to a 245-40-17 depending on what pair of drift spares I decide to put on
Upcoming plans for 2015 season:
Adaptronic E440D ECU
LIPP Boss Sr Stage 4 T04E 57 turbo
750cc Fuel Injector Clinic injectors
Aeromotive 340 fuel pump
LS coil on plug setup
FFIM setup with modified stock throttle body
Mishimoto 3" universal intercooler
Stoptech slotted rotors and performance pads
Beech Performance rear traction, toe and camber bars
Aftermarket radiator
Full 6 point FD Legal roll cage
5 point racing harness and seats
Shine Auto wide fenders and quarter panels
Hatch visor and Rocket Bunny replica spoiler by Jarvis
One piece driveshaft
Current Power Levels:
(AFR currently super rich due to stock ECU currently, below 10:1 according to the dyno's wideband)
257 whp @ 5400 rpm
266 lb/ft @ 4800 rpm
(List updated Oct 27, 2014)
My main project is to build a car that was fun to drive on the street but could also be taken out to the track to drift for a weekend and come home and still drive to work that Monday. The stock 7m-ge with coilovers and a welded diff didn't do too bad (I burned through 22 total tires over 2 days with a combined 9 hours of drive time) but I wanted more. I built the 7m-gte mainly for reliability rather than aiming for insane power levels. My plan is to try and get to a reliable 500 whp (keeping boost levels reasonable and not running the air fuel ratio too lean).
Pictures and more information to come throughout the next few days!
