she looks well lush

Cheers Trevaro

so do i mate, it's just such a great feeling being that it's totally different to the MR2. And just seeing it in the metal sitting there, it should be a piece of art in a museum

Looks great Dan. A car i've always fancied! Is it the N/A?

Are you planning on putting it to the test at Snett at any point? I'm kind of curious to see how they handle there - only ones i've seen there are the Whifbitz ones and you can't really compare them, lol!

Cheers mate.

yep it is an n/a. As for the test, bit half and half about that at the moment. I idealy want to rebush a couple of things first and replace the discs and pads before thinking about doing that. So for the time being it's a no from me, but i'm sure there are some videos on yourtube of jap Supras doing gymkhanas.

Dannyboy, the pipes-the pipes they're calling..................(no idea if they are the lyrics

)

Thanks for the attempted multi-media message. It didn't work because I was in some kind of Vodafone deadspot in Kensington all day! Anyway, you know my thoughts on the aesthetics and the photos in your possession haven't weakened my view.

Even as I sit here, nursing my mind and body following yesterday's 20 hour day, I am really looking forwards to Saturday........the ride and experience, the banter and catching up with a few of the guys to watch them destroy the quarter mile. I hope, a nice relaxed day from our point of view and a nice day of racing for them.

Best of luck in your ownership of the Supra. You're in the enviable position of owning a car that would be very easy to cock up and very hard to improve. Remember that when you get an itchy trigger finger on eGay

haha yeah i think you mentioned about the MMS thing a while back to me, totally about forgot that :beatdeadhorse5:

Don't worry mate, i'm planning on just having a cruise over there and just have a spectator only day with the obligatory burgervan/giftshop raid

i love a good giftshop

anyway, yeah it'll be good to see the regulars and new faces taking to the strip. Hopefully there won't be any dramas and everyone has a good time.

With respects to ebay, i'll certianly have my head screwed on when it comes to what i'm going to buy. it's actually a rather short list of things i want to fit/replace on the Supra and that really will be it. no spoiler changes or gash wheel sets for me. OEM all the way

Yep spend some time getting used to the car first Dan, we all have rushed in and modified our cars without actually enjoying it in fairly standard form (well apart from Ben who had a standard pea shooter exhaust for a long time).

Gutted I cant make it on saturday

Make sure you take plenty of vid and pics !!

- you'll be surfing for wheels within 6 months !! .. mmmh Volk GTC's .. mmmh Volk CE28n's ....

Definately am Gareth, it amazes me though that this enormous heavy car is so piss easy to drive compaired to the MR2! it's a bit freaky i must say. And like i mentioned earlier, it's staying 99% standard

and no worries, im sure me and Stu will come up with a report, photos and video

No no no no no

i am not going to be arsing around with it, 20mm spacers on OE wheels will do just fine Ben

besides, buying Volks? haha i'm not that rich, just barely made it buying the car!

Also, did anyone else like me thought that the Supra looked a bit low for standard?

well just out of curiosity i got underneath and had a look... it has Bilstein suspension

get in!

Bone-arse

Was the Bilstein set up an upgrade or was that aftermarket? Epic car for the money........keep me posted on the running costs mate
