Mr Haggett’s love of cars started at a young age, collecting and playing with Hot Wheels toys. By the age of eight he was go karting and by nine knew he had to have a Supra.
“I was riding shotgun in one (Supra) in one a family friend had,” he said in the official entry, “I just knew I had to have one.
“I saved every penny I had before buying my first five-speed manual Supra for $5000, which I learned to drive in.
“Watching YouTube videos of Supras from Texas Streets inspired me to build one mental Supra, which is my RZS Supra I have now.”

The car, which Mr Haggett estimates cost around $50,000 to build, has a 3-litre 2JZ engine, Precision Turbo, “pushes just over 1250hp” and has a full interior upgrade.
There’s also a six-point cage and chute set-up as Mr Haggett plans to take the car drag racing.
However, it must first be “signed-off” by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA), which Mr Haggett said was “pretty close now”.
He will then aim for “that eight-second pass, with aspirations of someday pushing the title of a seven-second streeter!”

“This car holds a big place in my heart and has an incredible amount of sentimental value,” Mr Haggett said.
“Ninety per cent of the work, including the majority of the fabrication, was carried out by myself and my old man in our back shed.
“Working alongside him has been a massive learning curve and an incredible blonding experience for us both.”
Mr Haggett may also start building a second car – most likely an Australian model.
