These are the TE37 SL’s in Pressed Graphite! Featuring a graphite face with polished lips and black inner barrels. This is one of my favorite wheel colors irl. A lot of my future wheels will feature this color as well.
The wheel irl has polished hubs to match the lips, but I didn’t replicate that as I didn’t want to print multi-color. I experimented using a silver sharpie to color the hubs, which turned out kinda cool. I forgot to do that on this set, but that’s okay! I can do that in the future, because I’ve already made some revisions for a new version of these wheels. I just need to find the time to reprint them.
I also want to make some revisions to the car in general, but for now I updated the doors with the new wedge tiles.
ou already know the Supra had to also get the TE37 treatment.
These are the same exact wheels I have in my previous pictures with the RX7, but this time, with custom tires! This wheel size suits the Supra much better. And if you look closely, I also made some custom brake rotors. More on that in the next post.
I think the white wheels contrast very well with the dark blue, but there's another colorway that is my favorite. I bought some new filament and am working on dialing it in before printing them out. What do you think the colorway is?

What's that I see? Custom brake rotors!
After creating custom wheels and tires, I couldn't forget the last details. I tested using various Lego pieces for the rotors, but I didn't find anything that I really liked. So, I had to make my own. For my first design, I made these slotted, but I can of course create other rotor designs.
For the calipers, I really wanted to stick with a Lego piece, so I can use their colors. I tried so many pieces. I tested the curved 1x2 jumper, but it was too big. I saw @3dsupercarbricks use the claw piece which is really clever, but it would have been tough to attach to the rotors. I then found the ingot piece, which is what I am using. I like how it has a taper at the top of each corner, which gives it a rounder look. It's not the perfect representation of a caliper, but I am happy with how it looks.
The size of the rotor and caliper fit really well into the wheel. However, I'm thinking of future compatibility with other wheels, so I'm going to test fitting smaller rotors.

Introducing my Lego Toyota Supra inspired by the Streethunterdesigns widebody kit! When this kit was first revealed, it instantly became my favorite and I knew I had to build it. I also included a Varis inspired hood, which has a really cool hood vent where you can see the engine and turbo through it. This is the second car I have ever built and was the most challenging yet. I estimate it took me several months of working on and off. The most difficult area was the doors/skirts/fenders, as they are all connected together. Additionally, the curves and body lines of the Supra added to the challenge, but I must say, it looks amazing and I am very happy with how it turned out.

My current fleet! Which one is your favorite?
I've been thinking of building a Porsche or a Nissan
next, but before that, I plan on working on some Star
Wars mocs and hopefully, creating some 3d printed
wheels. I think custom wheels would take these builds
to the next level!

Which engine is your favorite?
Featuring the 2JZ, F154 CB, B58, and 20B. In the order of the oldest to the newest ones I've designed.
The engine to me is the heart of the build. Of course, the exterior of the car is very important, but the engine is the cherry on top. I like to put as many details as I can and that led me to make my engine bays at a width of 8 studs. That isn't very realistic, but is a compromise I was willing to take. Doing so, led me to create all my cars with widebodies because Lego's wheel options are very limited. I do want to build some stock-body cars in the future, so when that time comes, I will most likely narrow the engine bay. Maybe these engines are better suited for larger-scaled cars but at the end of the day, I do favor how great it looks over accuracy.

And there we have it, all 3 of my current car builds in their latest versions! Which one is your favorite?
In the order from oldest to newest are my BRZ, Supra, and RX7! Over time with these builds, my building skills have definitely improved. I have a big list of cars that I want to build, but since this is a hobby for me, I like to take my time with them. I think I'm a pretty slow builder, but at the beginning of the year, my goal was to design 2 cars this year. Hopefully, I can accomplish this goal :) I'm going to start working on one very soon and I plan on sharing some work-in-progress photos of them. That means I won't be posting very much and consistently.
Big thank you to you and everyone for following and supporting me! Other Lego creators have inspired me to share my creations with the world and I am glad I did it and hope to continue doing so! Thank you all so much, I'm excited to see where this journey heads to!!

Following my previous post, the Supra has also been updated to be in ~1:17 scale, previously ~1:18. Doing so was more involved with this car than the BRZ.
This car was lengthened by half a stud instead of a full stud. The front fenders look much better now. Before, it was 2 studs and a plate and a half wide, but it's now 3 studs wide, which is more accurate. I then also had to modify the side skirts to fill in the gap that was created and I love how it turned out. The area where the door meets the rear fender and the end of the side skirt did deteriorate ever so slightly. There are bigger gaps than before, but it's a compromise I am willing to accept. In addition, I added a bracket behind the doors to mount it. Previously, it was just loose and held in by the bricks around it, but now it doesn't fall out when I move the car, which is great!
Moving towards the rear, lengthening the car meant I had to push the rear fenders and bumper back. I was dreading it a bit, but with determination, I was able to move it back and even improved the stability of it! So now, when you compare it to my previous version, the rear is absolutely identical and you can't even tell that I made any changes to it. Overall, I love how this car turned out!
