Sorry, but as much as I LOVE Supras I hate the squarness of the Top Secret kit. You can get the Supra as wide as the TopSecret Supra but with a much nicer looking kit.
From memory, and it's quite bad  , the Nissan engine in that TopSecret Supra is the one out of the Skyline (RB26DETT) AND there are Supras using 2JZGTE motors making 1000bhp so I'm not overly impressed with the use of the Skyline engine just for that purpose... :roll:

Widebody TRD Supra kit I think you're looking in the range of $10-$15K for a replica kit and install!

700HP, not bad for a 4 cylinder  I think I still prefer the 2JZGTE though

no mhm3773, its Top Secrets supra, another tuning company similiar to Jun, just a lil less known. on another interesting note, the JGTC supras are now running either the 3SGTE (for better wieght distribution) or the tundra/lexus V8 ! the supra turned out to be a swap happy chassis after all
anyhows enought useless info...its 4am here

Weight distribution is not the only reason for the engine swap, regs play a part in this too as is my understanding. The rules state that they can run whatever chasis they wan't but the engine has to be a current production job, hence the 3SGTE. That's my understanding anyway  ops:
