Fueling up on Friday evening, Oct 4, to make the trip to Vegas on Sat, Oct 5.



For extra measure: 15 gallons of extra fuel in the trunk.

Are you running only e85? Or do you have a tune for 91 as well?

Glad to see you got it on the road again. We need a meet. :).

Only e85 at the moment, but I will get a tune for pump gas as well, then blend the 2 tunes together so that I both types of fuel in the gas tank simultaneously. I'll set up a meet in the very near future.

Nice!! How do you improve on those 3 firsts.. rofl.

Looks like you achieved the dream most of us have. Next year when I show up, I wont be pulling prizes (probably wont have the interior) but will be good to see this car in person.

I just love that car. Funny how my head plays that nah-nah-nah-nah nahtorious song whenever I see the back end of your car. :D

(by the way.. for those that don't know what I am talking about.. listen to Loverboy - Notorious on Youtube)

Me too! I really like the plate too. Is there some sort of a story behind the plate, or was it just something cool that you wanted to do?

Thanks! There's always room for improvement. I look forward to meeting you and showing NTORIOS beside your MK3 in Vegas!

The license plate refers to Notorious B.I.G.. (My GS300 plate is "HPNATYZ") "NO, NO, NO, NOTORIOUS!" is from this song:

Yeah.. Im not much into rappers.. lol. Im old school Tragically Hip, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins... you know.. the boring stuff without swear words and violence.

Thinking back on it, Im really glad you didn't sell your car. It's pretty well a pinnacle of success in MK3 rebuilds. I have seen a lot of really nice builds but yours just seems to look like it belongs. That's rare.. very rare.

Going to go with WILDTHNG or WILD ONE on my car. Just sent my valve covers and intake plenum/mani out for magnetic metallic gray powder coating. Should match my paint perfectly.

I figured. I bet a lot of people don't get either of them. My plate just reads SUPRA87 and some people even have trouble with that one...

That TRD strut bar looks out of place.

You should sell it to me.....

:naughty:

I should sell it to you, cuz it doesn't really function. :naughty:


Very short videos. Poor quality. I will get better footage.


Good rolling shot, but the engine can't be heard.



Poor video, but captured a decent sound clip of the exhaust sound.
