Inspiration behind the Altezza GTR

After reluctantly selling my Porsche Cayenne to settle some debt, I had some money left over and bought a Lexus IS 300. With a car like that a 2JZ-GE, which is the legendary Supra engine minus the twin turbo setup, I spent a lot of time looking at kits etc. If I was going to work on that car, I'd go all out, or I wouldn't bother and look at other cars. With the GTR comign towards it's end in terms of modifications, it was time to look to a new more challenging product. I spotted the full Carbon Fibre Kit for sale on Driftworks. I agreed a price with Martin Ffrench who is a well known drift in Ireland. We met up in Reading services, I handed over the wad of cash and drove home with the full carbon fibre kit. These pictures are what inspired me to go down this route, and work on this well and truly ambitious build.
