Power figures - 390 kw / 600 nm on 1.3bar boost
I am the youngest and only boy of 4 siblings. I work in the insurance industry as a Business Analyst. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My hobbies include watching F1, Rugby and Soccer...EPL. I am red at heart...Ferrari and Manchester Utd. I have been a car enthusiast since my teenage years ever since going to Killarney racetrack back in the early 90's.

An Addiction To Boost
My late buddy Langley, if it wasn't for him I would never have been in the racing scene. I have a MK1 Golf CTi which I was about to sell until he hit me up after seeing my number on the ad and encouraged me to keep it and turbocharge it. He let me have a go of his golf and that finally convinced me I would have fun with it being boosted. From there, my love for turbocharged cars grew deeper as the boost addiction took over. Today, 14 years later I still have the mk1 Golf, making 433kw and 666 nm.
Giving My Supra The Justice Its Deserved
The MK4 Supra has always been my dream car. The high school boy in me, watching Fast and Furious back then, being on the car scene and learning more about the car, I knew I would simply have to own one someday. As for the customization, it's a Supra, standard wouldn't do it justice
A Dream To Own With A 2JZ Grunt
It's a literal dream come true. In the beginning, I would wake up every day and look outside in the garage to see if it's really there, to see if I'm dreaming. Each time I look at it I feel a sense of joy as I actually own my all-time dream car. The startup sound of that 2JZ engine purring through the 100mm exhaust sings a song of happiness to my inner being. Driving it around the Cape Peninsula on a Sunday morning cruise is pure bliss. And if I need to get somewhere quickly, there's enough power at the twist of the throttle. I still need to get used to the attention the car brings. It's not something that roams South Africa's streets on a daily basis so wherever I go, people compliment and appreciate it, in the same way I did before I owned one.
A Supra Unique to me
A Toyota MK4 Supra is unique in its entirety. What makes it even more unique in South Africa is that it was never manufactured here. It's an import from Japan so there's not that much roaming our streets. Apart from the make and model, it has a Single big turbo and aftermarket intake.
