Ever since the first time she first laid eyes on a Mk4 Toyota Supra, Shay Bisconer was hooked. Growing up helping her dad in the garage with his cars and trucks had her looking at cars differently from a young age, and the Supra just happened to be the one that really caught her eye. When she finally got one, she knew right away that she would be modifying the platform because of how much potential it had.
After spinning a bearing one unfortunate day, she decided to take the responsibility upon herself to learn the ins and outs of engine building. During this time, she also learned how to wire everything herself, and she tells us that to her surprise, it’s held up all these years later. She must be doing something right! Careful modification and maintenance has led to a reliable 600 whp car day in and day out.
What originally started out as a dream for a show car slowly evolved over time as Bisconer grew bored of not using the car to its full potential. From there she transitioned over to road racing and Auto-X. With her previous goals of showing the car, the styling and cleanliness of mods lends itself well to making the car a true all-rounder, looking the part as well as it drives. Modifications walk the line between performance and style very well.
Just about every section of the car has been modified in some way, with function and form in mind at all times. Taking it upon herself to do work herself was not only a good way to save some dollars, but also a good way to gain an intimate understanding of the Supra’s components and systems, a collection of knowledge that pays off to this day. Well done!
