Ebrahim Kanoo and E.Kanoo Racing, with the help of Titan Motorsports and Shane T tuning, set a new world record for the worlds quickest IRS Supra today with a 7.591 @ 179mph pass in Bahrain. This pass was completed using the factory Toyota independent rear suspension using a Titan Motorsports 2JZ race engine tuned by Shane Tecklenburg. The team also just received their new 3/4 chassis Supra built by Titan Motorsports and looks forward to further testing and record setting with it.
The first week in November marks the start of the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas, and a weekend without the bosses here at Titan. We enjoy a casual office environment, and a week with no bosses typically leads to some fun pranks, with this year’s target would be Bottles office. Bottle typically refers to his office as “one big 7-eleven” so we decided to fulfill his dream and add the appropriate signage, and a few hundred balloons for good measure. Our original plan was to fill the office from floor to the ceiling with balloons, however after filling our first run of 500 balloons and tiring our fingers in the process, we decided half full would suffice. Bottle was quite surprised when he arrived at the office, he expected a prank, but not one this well thought out! He attempted to work on Monday in his newly remodeled office, however after battling the balloons for a few hours; an exacto knife led them to their demise.
One of our favorite sites at Titan is SpeedHunters, this blog features various forms of racing complete with in depth event coverage, technical builds, and great photography. When it came time to document the Kanoo Racing / Titan Motorsports Drag Supra build, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to do so than SpeedHunters. Check out Part 1 of the Supra build below at their site, and keeping checking back here for the latest milestones as this beast of a car gets ready for it’s debut on the Middle East drag scene.
The Titan Motorsports Copper Supra wasn’t in Japan, but it is from Japan, and it too was involved in an unavoidable disaster back in March (click for video). Now, it too has begun the rebuilding process.
As with many things that break, we have now been presented with the perfect opportunity to update and upgrade. The Copper Supra (not always copper) has been racing hard since the early 2000’s and has gone under the knife many times. Each time it has come back stronger and faster than before. This time will be no different.
With updates and revisions including larger turbo and manifold, new roll cage, as well as upgraded suspension components, the once record-holder is eager to get back on the track and once again strut its stuff. Be on the lookout for more news and updates on the Copper Supra as it prepares for NSCRA in December.
In the waning days leading up to Texas 2K11, Team Titan has been pedal to the metal getting the Copper Supra back into sprinting shape. Although the Supra had run a 7.66@188.44mph in its last outing over a year ago, there were still a few “cobwebs” to be cleared (and some actual ones too). So it’s been out with the old, and in with the new, including a new header design, custom built by Titan Motorsports, and a custom set of Driveshaft Shop Axles.
Here you can see the new manifold…
Additionally, The Team will be testing new turbo combinations next week at the Shakedown at Palm Beach, where the Supra will later go on to run in the Pro Import Class, with the Pro Scion running in Pro Mod.
New Precision Turbo…
“We are extremely excited to be racing the Supra again” says owner Nero Deliwala. The Supra will be running in the Unlimited Class at TX2K11, and will be looking to once again put a few numbers in the record books.
Joshua Barnes dropped his road course prepared Supra off for another round of modifications,one of these upgrades included an Aeromotions active rear wing. The wing adjusts throughout a run allowing for increased downforce in the rear when needed, and decreased aero for straightaway speeds. Check the video out below to see this engineering masterpiece in action. We’ll be heading back out to the track in a few weeks to put the latest round of upgrades to work.
Titan Motorsports is an Aeromotions authorized dealer, we carry the complete line of Aeromotions wings, both static and active and are currently working on Supra specific products to increase grip for those looking to road race their MKIV.

The wild Supra we built for Dr. Nick Angelastro was recently featured in Top Performance, a great magazine targeting the Middle East. This Supra was built from the ground up from an NA Automatic Shell, here at Titan Motorsports. Full details on the build can be found in the article in snapshots below for those who do not have access to this great magazine on their local newsstand.
Juan Aviles Vando of Puerto Rico sent us these great screen shots of our Titan Supra that he modeled in Forza2. When Forza2 first came out I spent days playing it and made a similar replica of our street Supra, but nothing like this creation complete with race inspired graphics and all. A big thanks to Juan for taking the time to create this and email it to us, I might just have to fire up the Xbox 360 and take this car for a spin.
