In this episode of Larry Chen's automotive adventures, we delve into the fascinating transformation of a 1988 Safiro from a forgotten relic to a jaw-dropping project A31. This Malaysian delivery car, originally equipped with an RB20 turbo engine, underwent a remarkable evolution under Larry's skilled hands. Despite the trend of heavily modifying Safiros in Southeast Asia, Larry chose to preserve the car's original aesthetics while enhancing it with custom touches like a one-of-a-kind front bumper and rear overfenders.
Under the hood, Larry spared no expense in outfitting the Safiro with a custom RB25 D Neo engine from a GT-R R34, emphasizing reliability over sheer horsepower. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the exterior, where a striking diamond gold paint finish, bespoke carbon fiber elements, and unique R34 brakes set this Safiro apart from the crowd. Inside, the car boasts carbon fiber seats and a purposeful interior, reflecting Larry's dedication to both style and performance.
The Safiro's three-year transformation showcases Larry's unwavering commitment to automotive excellence, blending innovation with a deep respect for the car's heritage. From custom wheel fitment to Thailand-imported engine components, every aspect of the Safiro's build reflects Larry's passion for pushing boundaries while staying true to the essence of the original vehicle. This project is a testament to Larry's craftsmanship and vision, culminating in a truly unique and awe-inspiring automotive masterpiece.
