Lawrence Duckers 1998 Toyota Supra MK4 (Genuine TT 6 Speed)
The generic response to this would be “The Fast and the Furious”. Yes, it had a small part to play but I liked the MK4 Supra even before that. I grew up watching those insane videos of the Supra on the internet and reading about them. I just loved the potential of the car.

Hey, I’m Lawrence. I am 33 years old and I am from Stockton on Tees in the North East of England. My current job is as a Prototypes Engineer working in the CNC department making things that I’m not actually allowed to talk about.
What or who got you interested in cars?
I’m truly unsure, just seemed to grow up being attracted to anything fast. Whether that be planes, trains or automobiles. I grew up surrounded by a family of train enthusiasts and I’m a pain for not following the followers, so I swayed towards cars. Educating myself on the internet, books and advice from friends to get me where I am today.
Why this Car?
The generic response to this would be “The Fast and the Furious”. Yes, it had a small part to play but I liked the MK4 Supra even before that. I grew up watching those insane videos of the Supra on the internet and reading about them. I just loved the potential of the car.
Why did you build this Car?
This is the third Supra that I have owned. It has been a huge journey to get to the point I am at now. The term “Blood, Sweat and Tears” couldn’t be more fitting. My current Supra is a Genuine TT 6 Speed so it is the ‘Top Dog’ of the Supra variant. It is the perfect base to invest the most and try to get the most out of the car. Prior to a big purchase, I always say to myself ‘the car deserves this’. The Supra will be undergoing the last stage of its journey in the winter of 2022 and will be coming out all singing, all dancing.
What does it feel like to own your car?
It’s a great feeling. But, it carries a huge burden. By that, I mean that people seem to think a Supra is 1000bhp from the factory. Which in turn puts pressure on you and primarily, your wallet! Building a car to 1000bhp is definitely not cheap. Fortunately, I want my car to be a 4 figure fire breathing monster. So building the car for myself works well with people's expectations. It's a real head turner now as there are so few on the road. I am surrounded by them day in, day out on social media. But to the general public, it really blows them away. The Supra is my getaway. Do you feel down? Go for a drive or turn some spanners. My solace is under the bonnet of that car and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Advice/Tips?
Advice on a Supra? Whatever your budget is, double it. Parts are expensive and if I’ve learnt anything through my supra ownership, it’s that the small things really do add up. In regards to modifying, all I can say is if you have a power goal in mind. Stick to it! Otherwise, you’ll end up buying everything twice!
What do you think makes your car Unique?
I’d definitely have to say the engine bay does all the talking on the car. A big turbo, a tucked harness and a smoothed-out engine bay. Everything plays a part to make it overall special. It’s special to me and hopefully, people see that. I had a vision and brought it to fruition on my driveway. All the build photos are on my Facebook in an album and it has been a journey, for myself and the car.
