The road to the 14r60 replica
 

Hi guys I'm finally posting my obsession lol 14r60 this started when I met supra2nv back in 2018 i saw his 14r build and I started to think how awesome would it be to have a 14r60. It's been very hard to source all the body parts but I have almost all the body from the rear bumper diffuser emblem side skirts and the crown jewel the front bumper which it's being made by TRD as we speak. I need to source the fenders but that will be for next year and maybe the roof if I get lucky. Sooo here we go with the part list.

Parts I want to get in the future

I'm in the navy and I got station in Europe since 2019-2021 so I been busy buying parts and getting ready to install them when I come back to California. Plans are to make this car as close as possible to Porsche GT3 style lightweight N/A and a lot of carbon/titanium parts. Hopefully ill strip down the car next year and start slowly putting all the parts I have collected.


December 2017 brand new of the lot.

Sorry I'm new to the forum thing I'm having a problem uploading the pictures from my phone

If you don't mind me asking, what was the process you went through to get a bumper made by TRD? I'm also really interested in getting a 14r60 style front bumper but had given up on it since I was under the impression that you could only get one if you had a 14r60 VIN.

Some pictures

I bought most of my parts from Yahoo Japan and for the new parts i got a good friend tht has access to TRD parts

Gotcha, that makes sense. Your build looks awesome, can't wait to see how it looks once you've got all the parts installed!

Other images

Nothing but the utmost respect for this much dedication. Car looks great so far

:respekt:

Yeahhhh it's been a long road but I'm very greatful that I have meet many good friends

This is another project I'm having in asseto corsa to drive around tracks

What fenders are those? And how much tire can you fit under them?

Those are the 14r60 fenders and I believe you can fit a 295 easy since a 265 in a stock fender can be done and the price is from what I heard last time $5,500 just fenders in FRP

I am not one for knock offs, but someone should make a replica of the fenders. Hell I would pay 1,200-1,500 for them in carbon. 5,500 for FRP is over the top even for TRD. :eyebulge:

That's the price from TRD the price for the for bumper are $5,500+ heck they want almost 16,000 for the carbon front bumper and fenders 14r60 parts are not cheap used rear bumpers go for $3,500 with busted diffuser and parts missing complete rear end you are looking $5,000+

Been looking for a few of these parts for a while too.

Excited to see how this build turns out. So far it looks awesome!

Too much
 

Whoa. That's expensive!

Excited to see how this comes out. I wish supranv still had his build but he's on the tesla life now haha.


A bit off topic but do you think your friend can help me source the grill piece to the 14R front lip? Been looking everywhere and everyone I contacted could not locate the part.

I sent you a PM and yeah i wish jack would finish the 14r he had all the parts ready he was close to finish he even had the emblem which I have a 14r and a 14r60 if your interested

I know! He was like 98% finished. It looked great in silver ignition too! Unfortunately, I prefer the badgeless look over the badges.

The first time I met jack when I had my blue blitz bumper lol

The blitz bumpers still looks great imo. Unfortunately, I was never able to meet Jack but I did talk to him a bit over IG. Effects of living up in NorCal. SoCal has the best things there.

A little update finally the 14r50 front bumper is on its way to Cali and the diffuser is getting done can't wait to have all the parts in and start assembly

So today i was able to source a super taikyu header from auction this will replace the titanium header to see how much different a race spec headeris hopefully I can get more info on this header like in what car it came and what company made it

Another update the caliper went to the painter hope he will finish them by the end of this month i still need to get new pads for the front at least and zinc coat all the hardware but that's is once I get back state side

The grail has landed

This is my friend car with a 14r60 bumper and now he is trying to make 14r60 fenders they are looking pretty spot on can't wait to see his car finished and make mine a 14r60 replica

Any updates? How much wider are the 14r60 fenders?

Show us moooooore

Here's an update on his car and I think it's 22mm more

Small update i was able to pick up some small parts that i had in storage

Is this perhaps the guy behind Ice fabrications? I just saw him make a post on Instagram about producing 14r60 fenders and bumpers.

No he made his own from metal and bondo the guy from ICE he is working the fenders out and we are going to test the in my car to see how they look but they should be super similar to the real thing

Those calipers are gorgeous

Here an update we'll i have arrived in Cali so I'm back with the car and started to pick up all my parts i don't have all my tools from the shipment but hopefully march i can get around to install all the big stuff.

Those are some sexy callipers!

Good luck with the build!

Thanks

Nice, where did you source this bumper and the wide fender? I checked many sites and even croober doesn't have it.

Thanks!

I was in the right place at the right time for almost all my parts

Last night I placed an order for a Esprit 052 wing I'm glad that the wait time is not voltex or Varis lol 🤣🤣🤣

Well yesterday i was able to get this im excited im selling the recaro now:happyanim: ima get a matching Bride XERO MS Narita Dog Fight for the driver side :party0030:
