Name – Lawrence Duckers - 1998 Toyota Supra MK4 

Job – Prototypes Engineer

Bio – I’m 32 years old from Stockton on Tees in the North East of England. I’ve been involved with the Supra community for over 5 years now and I have learned so much from other owners. Advice is priceless and every time I have owned a supra, it has been a huge learning curve for me.

I drive a 1998 Toyota Supra MK4 converted to Single Turbo myself. It’s always been a dream of mine to own a Single Turbo Supra. It has taken three Supra's to get to where I am today. My first was a Genuine TT Aerotop. The second was the Speedwells Widebody Supra (F1BOMB2). I then sold that to buy the Supra I have today. I Bought it as a genuine TT 6 speed (V161) and worked my way up from that with this build.

The car scene has been a big part of my life. Primarily for friends. It was friends introducing me to other like-minded people who share the same passion. It’s great. I thank my friends for the people I know and the friends I have today. Friends are everything. Keep them close.

The car itself is running a healthy 651bhp and 593lbft of torque. My 0-60mph speed is hard to gauge when it spins up in 1^st and 2^nd gear. It gains traction from 3^rd gear onwards. If you follow me on Instagram, you will see some speedo footage there.

I've done the majority of the work myself on my drive. It was difficult as I was limited to space. I got the car sent away for a full engine wiring harness to be made up. I didn’t want 20+ years old wiring gremlins to show their face during tuning. I have Ben Newell to thank for all that. He also supplied my Megasquirt3 Pro standalone ECU. I then called him up to do the full tune on the car.

I used to be a member of quite a lot of car groups. But it slowly got smaller and smaller. You seem to want to keep yourself to yourself the older you get. Instead of being public with your car, you end up keeping it private with your friends.

I never intended to enter any competitions at events and shows. The competitions seemed to come to me. I have won a total of three awards, solely with the Widebody Supra because it was so unique at the time. Primarily, I go to shows with friends to show off my pride and joy. Hard work cannot be recognised on your drive right!

I attend whatever shows my friends do. I have a good ‘Jap Car’ circle around me and that’s what I enjoy the most. We all keep ourselves quiet at local meets. We have a small circle called ‘Midnight Club’. We can only dream to be in the calibre of Japan‘ Midnight Club’.

I’ve always loved Supras, even before ‘The Fast and the Furious’ Just something about them seems so timeless and appealing.

My dream car is the one I currently own. It has taken me a lot to get here. I’ve loved and lost because of my hobby. I have this car as a retirement fund. They are increasing in value faster than I can count. So a worthwhile and lengthy investment gives the greatest rewards.

The Supra has a lot more to give and I am not finished yet. I have a full refresh of the engine planned for this coming winter. I have up rated race bearings and strengthened bolts to go in the mix. Then come early 2021, I’ll be getting the Supra back in for tuning to up the boost. It’s only running 1.4Bar of boost at the moment. Plans are to up the boost to 1.8 or 1.9Bar. I won’t be doing that until I am confident that it is a healthy motor. I have 20+ year old engineering to swap out so engine health is paramount.

All in all, the Supra isn’t at its prime yet. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Watch this space!
