1995 TT 6 Speed

Featured is a 1995 TT 6 speed Supra owned by Danny.

Danny has owned the car since he was 19. With inspiration from Fast and the Furious, he had his eyes set on owning a Skyline or Supra. Between the two, Danny realized the cost of an NA MKIV was about the same price as an R32. Sticking to a tried and true combination of saving, working hard, and checking Craigslist on the daily for a worthy NA. A rare opportunity presented itself. For the price of an NA at the time, Danny came across a listing for a Twin-Turbo 6-speed MKIV. The catch? A blown motor. With a V160, however, Danny figured it would be worth it to purchase and rebuild the car. Which he did.

The car may not have many mods but it sure is a beauty. Of the few mods, the intercooler/piping, radiator, and intake have all seen improvements. The brakes have been upgraded to a Brembo BBK. But of all the various small work that has been done to the car I think the coolest would have to be the interior reupholster. The oem tan seats were redone in a black leather along with the other plastic pieces that got a paint job.

I can’t wait to see what the car looks like as other work is done. Even if the car stays the same. It’s a timeless classic that doesn’t really need any improvements. I also just want to end by saying how awesome it is you were able to accomplish your dreams and actually stick with the work/discipline that went into chasing it. Few people are able to do that.
