Engine is in, you can see the motor plate and full placement and maybe a glimpse of the dry sump setup Decided to make a custom radiator, to fit with all the additional stuff in the front of the car now Intercooler piping had to be remade, the old pipe wouldn't clear the new roll bar setup Intercooler pipe and a good shot of the new suspension New Rear suspension, just back from powdercoat. Thanks to FK Rod Ends for getting us great product in time for the build. Overview shot of the suspension -

Subframe we built while the car was at paint came back from powdercoat. Came out fantastic. This allows you to fit any dry sump oil pan, simplifies the whole configuration of the factory setup and all of its solid mounted New Control arms and upper mounts just came back from getting plated, bolted right onto the factory locations. I have wanted to do this setup for 5 years, and now with the awesome group we have at Titan, we're able to build a lot of the parts I've always wanted to. My good friend Gary White as always will be returning to drive my car. New safety features added to the car, guys the additional weight is worth it. -

More paint work, body work to get that beautiful Copper Color on there The hardtop is on, I always wanted it to be a hardtop. Well 15yrs later it is. I had a custom carbon hatch and doors made, these allow the full use of the factory window motors and glass. The quality of the parts we had made for Titan is unmatched, I've never seen carbon pieces this nice for the Supra. My next update will show the doors and hatch came to me. -

Had a custom dash made, so that it can be fitted and give the car a good look and feel; made to fit/look like the OEM dash. We had a factory dash before and the structure is really "floppy" when there is nothing underneath holding it together. Always has been an irritation for me, so this dash fixes that problem. -

No gaurantee's we will make TX2K12, we are trying thought. 5-7 people are working on the car non-stop. I know we won't have everything done if the car is ready for TX2K, but the goal is to get it running and try to make it there. Its going to be real hard as we're pretty close to out of time -

First of all special thanks for Daniel for letting us build his 2005 Gallardo Twin Turbo. Its had a few changes along during the build process and the vehicle came out great. He recently upgraded to a built engine package at Stage 2 and the car made 913rwhp on 93 octane when it was very hot outside. Subsequently it made 1160rwhp on C16 and we didn't push it harder since we were worried about the clutch holding prior to him flying in to take it for a test drive. Here is a quick video of the dyno The car has been at a few cars show's the past weeks, its been a big hit at every show we've taken it to.

Titan Motorsports Copper Supra rebuild for 2012 - going for the worlds quickest

Decided to use a front motor plate on the Copper Supra. Like our other cars this will make everything for engine removal easy and also make it easy to transport spare motors. Went ahead and rebuild the whole front area of the car, before the bars tied into the shock towers but were more direct and stopped at the shock tower; this time we go over the shock towers and hug the fenders to keep the bars out of the way and looking clean. Also this keeps the bar in 1 piece going over the shock tower but still ties the shock tower into the cage. A shot of the finished welded piece You can see in this picture the old shock tower pad's, which have the bar removed but the pad's for the rollbar still there. With the front and rear motor plate, this allows the tranmsission and assembly to be seperate part of the car, also helps tie the whole car together with the motor assembly. Sticking with the air/air intercooler. You may not believe it, but you will see an air/air intercooler on the car as it has been for years. Another shot of the roll cage from above Front Motor plate mounts -

Cutting the roof gave us the ability to get the best cage clearance and also accessibility for welding You can see the seat being test fitted into the car. This is the old seat, we got something new coming Here we decided to modernize the engine bay, which we do now on a lot of show cars. Complete welding and cleanup of the engine bay so that all the panels are smooth when painted. This is a lot of effort, but to get the best show look in an engine bay, its a must. Approximately 100 holes will be closed up. These holes are from things like the factory air intake, wiring harness clips, bolt holes for various factory pieces that are removed. The view we hope all our competitors see. Went to dual parachute for additional safety at high speeds in the 1/4 mile Rear view hatch view -

After a lot of discussion we decided to rebuild the Titan Motorsports Copper Supra for 2012. So as usual we are logging a lot of pictures and developing some new items and parts for these cars that will be built on the Titan Motorsports Copper Supra. As many of you are aware, we had a minor accident at TX2K11 in the finals of the Drag Race. In an effort to update the safety aspects of the car as well as repair the vehicle we decided to build the car from the ground up. This will entail more work then just repairing the vehicle, but the end goal is to have the fastest and quickest Street Supra's as well and one the nicest ones to hit the drag strip. The first build on this car was in 2001-2002 so its only fitting for this car to get a rebuild as it won a lot of races for a decades time. Now its time to update it so it should hopefully be a leader and stand out car for the Supra community for another decade. Here are a few pictures of the car after the accident, we put a stock Supra wheel and suspension on it, to get it out of the trailer and into the shop. The fender of course came off. We start the stripping process here.

We recently completed this stunning Lexus SC300 for Jerome Williams after an detail intensive long term build. This SC300 features a stock 2JZ shortblock making over 848hp on E85 fuel. It’s chromed out engine bay features many one-off pieces fabricated strictly for this build. The modifications don’t stop at the engine bay, this complete build features a Vertex body kit, black diamond paint, Brembo big brake kit, Auto Couture wheels, and a host of other modifications that truly make it one WickedSC

Today is testing in Bahrain, after the exciting debut the goal was to beat the personal best time set at the last race of 6.71. Well it happened very quickly, the guys had time to analyze the data between the races and were able to make some serious changes. The quickest and fastest Supra in the world did it again, running a 6.46 @ 215 MPH. A great job for Ebrahim Kanoo, Eric, Gary, Shane, Haider and the whole team. Keep posted as there is a timeslip and video to come.

Congratulations to Ebrahim Kanoo, today he set another personal best and a landmark pass in the Toyota Supra Drag community. His street supra which he has campaigned for almost a decade just went 7.59 @ 185. Congratulations to Ebrahim Kanoo, Haider, Shane T, Titan Motorsports and all the people and sponsors involved.

E. Kanoo went 7.76 @ 181 in Bahrain. Congrats to him and the whole team, Haider, Shane and crew have done a great job with this car. Titan is proud to be a piece of this excellent program. Enjoy the video's and pictures:
