In a dramatic unveiling, throtl introduces the SEMA Bill to the team, setting the stage for a monumental project destined for the 2024 SEMA show. The plan? To transform a JDM import S15 into an all-wheel-drive powerhouse capable of an 8-second quarter-mile pass. With sights set on the McGuire's Booth, the team aims to outshine previous builds like the Eclipse and Supra, with an ambitious 2,000 horsepower rb26 engine upgrade in the works. But the real showstopper? None other than Paul Walker's iconic R34 replica from The Fast and the Furious, poised for a jaw-dropping transformation.

As the team dives into stripping the interior and prepping for a fresh paint job, the focus shifts to welding in a roll cage for safety and performance. With meticulous attention to detail, the crew navigates the challenges of converting the car to all-wheel drive, installing GTR components, and ensuring a top-notch build that will captivate audiences at SEMA. Amidst the grind, a Japanese coin discovery adds a touch of serendipity to the project, fueling the team's passion for excellence.

With welding quality and preparation taking center stage, the team tackles the removal of sound deadening and fine-tunes the roll cage installation, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for perfection. As the main hoop and other cage components take shape, meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering dedication define every step of the process. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to 100% weld coverage, throtl's SEMA build emerges as a testament to precision engineering and relentless pursuit of automotive greatness.
