Surprising our SUBSCRIBER with his DREAM CAR BUILD! (Full Transformation): 2014 Subaru BRZ

  Alex was recently announced as the winner for throtl Dream Build #2! As the winner of #throtldreambuild2, Alex got his car shipped out to San Diego California to be fully modified by the throtl team. When Alex's car arrived, it was a mostly-stock 2014 Subaru BRZ. As soon as the car arrived at the throtl headquarters, the team immediately got to work on some modifications. Alex's car got the works with some new interior, exterior, and performance-based modifications. Interior Modifications For the interior of the BRZ, we installed a custom black suede headliner, throtl shift knob, and a new audio system from OEM Audio+. The OEM Audio+ system sounds significantly better than the factory audio system. This made it way more enjoyable to listen to music in the BRZ. The Opelite Optics headliner had a space theme with led shooting stars that lit up the roof of the BRZ, adding a nice bit of style to the interior. The new throtl shift knob was the cherry on top for interior modificati...

2020 Toyota GR Supra 

First up is our 2020 Toyota GR Supra. This car is full of tasteful modifications to help enhance its looks just as much as its performance. It has a StreetHunter Widebody kit, HRE C106 forged 3 piece wheels, APR carbon fiber diffuser, Magnaflow Exhaust, and some GoldenWrench Accessories to tie it all together. The sweepstakes for the GR Supra has closed, so stay tuned for the announcement of the winner!

2010 Nissan GTR

Up next is Evan’s Nissan R35 GTR. This car is kitted with some Universal Air struts managed by Airlift Performance. 19x10.5 Work ZR10 wheels wrapped in some Falken RT660 tires. This car is easily the fastest car we have at the moment, making 620 wheel horsepower, thanks to Bill at Delicious Tuning. In the Interior, we installed the Trex head unit to help bring the car into the modern age. We have a ton of GTR parts on the way so stay tuned for the videos to come.

1990 Porsche 911

Next, we have Rick’s Porsche 911. This car is a factory all-wheel-drive car that was originally naturally aspirated. Rick installed an aftermarket turbo kit and a built engine to increase its horsepower. Last year we did a full-color change and widebody kit along with some new 3 piece wheels. We also transformed the interior of the car with a new carpet and racing seats. The car came out great and Rick couldn’t be more stoked on the results.

2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat

This build is actually pretty simple, however, it is insane! It is a redeye edition Hellcat that makes 797 horsepower from the factory. With our aftermarket pulley setup, the car makes well over 1,000 horsepower. We did install some DOT-approved Racing tires, however, it wasn’t enough to keep the power to the ground. Unfortunately, the car does need to be crushed. However, we do get to keep the entire drivetrain. Let us know what car you think we should put this drivetrain into.

1999 Honda Civic EK

You may be more familiar with our FREK Honda Civic. This car is completely custom with a Turbocharged K20 engine and a rear-wheel-drive swapped drivetrain. This car is going to be a beast on the track and we cannot wait to see how it performs. Stay tuned, we should be starting this thing up for the first time in the next couple of weeks.

Tesla Swapped 350z

We have been working on the Tesla Z project for a while, but it is making lots of progress! We have already removed the stock VQ engine and installed a Tesla motor and subframe along with a bunch of electrical components. Since the Tesla Subframe is so wide, we installed a Liberty Walk widebody kit to properly fit some wheels and tires. If you are interested in this project, we are posting Tesla Z videos every Sunday at 9AM.

1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Up next we have our 1998 Mitsubishi DSM. For this build, we are transforming the car into a modern-day version of the Fast and Furious Eclipse. We just installed a body kit and rebuilt the 4G63 Engine. There’s still lots of work to be done on this car but we are looking forward to seeing how it turns out. The plan is to have this car Debut at the Meguiar’s booth at SEMA 2021.

BMW E30

Some of you may remember when we surprised Victor by transforming his BMW E30. Ghost Wrap came to the shop and installed a red wrap on the car. We did some much-needed maintenance on the engine, installed some BC Coilovers, a Magnaflow exhaust, and did a quick clean-up on the interior. Victor is stoked that his car has been restored and now he can focus on doing some more modifications.

2021 Ford Ranger

So far the Ranger has been a pretty simple build with its spacer lift kit, Gram Light wheels, and some 33inch Falken Tires. However, we have shelves full of ranger parts. Stay tuned, because we are going to be kicking off the first major throtl offroad build pretty soon!

1988 Chevy G20 Van

Next is our throtl Ice cream truck build. This one was a lot of work which you can see in the playlist below. Long story short, we took a roof from another Chevy van and installed it on this van. Next, we replaced all of the steering and suspension components, did some maintenance to the engine, and completely restored the interior with a throtl touch. Next, we installed all the components to make this a baller Ice cream truck that we can take to car events. Premium Auto Styling killed it with the custom livery which was the cherry on top.

Driving Simulator

Finally, we took a 2007 BMW E92 coupe and turned it into the ultimate driving simulator. We installed a 49-inch monitor and a bunch of Fanatec gaming equipment. The sim is super fun to use and everyone has enjoyed driving it ever since we put it into the office.
