Today we tour one of my favorite FD drivers shops and do a podcast style hang out talking about all sorts of technical goodies based around the 2JZ engine and Mk4/5 Supra Chassis with Dan Burkett. He builds some really nice and well put together cars, too nice in my opinion as you hear both sides of that in the video. Cool to see the pride in his work.

This Month’s Sponsored Ride of the Month winner goes to Rad Dan Burkett and his 1995 MKIV Toyota Supra. Back in 2014 Dan was scrolling through Craigslist searching for the right Supra, which believe it or not he is always looking for Supra’s to buy. Finally, after searching for the right one, he acquired his current MKIV Supra.

Rad Dan has been in the drift game for a long while by now, and he’s been sticking to his MKIV Supra guns the whole time. And these days, that’s a serious accomplishment, with how much Supras cost. “231,000 miles, $106,000, OBO, I know what I’ve got, bro.” Because of that, seeing a MKIV as an actual competition car these day is damn cool to see.

A mullet and a Toyota Supra don't often go together - in fact, they may even be sword enemies. But Rad Dan Burkett Doesn't mind. Dude LOVES a good MKIV Supra, and isn't afraid to thrash it. So much so, that this is his second Supra; this is the party car with hand-me-downs from his full spec Formula Drift MKIV Supra.

Dan Burkett's Toyota Supra is a rather perplexing car. On one hand, it's very similar to nearly every cover car we've ever featured, but in many ways it's like no care we've ever seen
