In the world of automotive enthusiasts, some journeys take unexpected turns, weaving through different cars and experiences. Edwin’s automotive adventure began with the influence of the Fast and Furious franchise, sparking a passion that would later lead him to a remarkable comeback in the scene after a decade-long hiatus.
Edwin’s initiation into the automotive world was marked by crazy builds and the thrill of mischief, inspired by the Fast and Furious movies. Joining the Army, his first major automotive move was acquiring a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse, only to trade it for a MKIV Supra after his first deployment. However, life took him in a different direction, prompting a 10-year break from the car scene.
The announcement of the new MKV Supra reignited Edwin’s dormant automotive passion. This time, he aimed to fulfill childhood dreams with the perfect canvas offered by the MKV Supra. Opting for the latest generation, he sought the blend of nostalgia and cutting-edge technology.
A striking element of Edwin’s MKV Supra is its vibrant neon Blue and Pink graffiti-inspired color scheme. Partnering with sponsor Rexpeed, he enhanced the car’s aggression with exterior modifications, including a Front Lip, Duckbill, Spoiler, Sideskirts, and Spats. The iconic Volk TE37 track edition wheels and H&R lowering springs contribute to the Supra’s head-turning appearance.
Performance Upgrades: Beneath the hood lies an AMS Carbon engine cover, signaling serious performance intentions. Edwin optimized airflow with a FTP Charge Pipe and fine-tuned the turbocharged engine with an ECUtek tune. A Magnaflow Xmod Exhaust with a powerneedy downpipe and AMS intake not only added horsepower but also crafted a distinctive engine tone.
Interior Refinement: Rexpeed’s influence extends to the interior, featuring Carbon Fiber accents on the steering wheel, dash, and handles. Comfort and security were addressed with Braum racing seats, perfect for tracking the car. Edwin’s nod to the 80s retro vibe includes a custom LED trunk, adding a unique touch to the interior aesthetics.
Edwin’s journey from the early days of tuner enthusiasm to a decade-long hiatus and then a triumphant return with the MKV Supra showcases the dynamic evolution of automotive passion. His commitment to both performance and aesthetics has transformed the MKV Supra into a personalized masterpiece, blending nostalgia with the latest advancements in the automotive world.
