gaz1 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 for the last 2 years i have strived to get my supe looking and running as it is today, which i am well happy with it:d i went the long way round to do it, ,(bad advice, crap traders, and me for changing my mind so often) but winning the club trophy was the icing on the cake:d which i thank everyone for;) but wtf do i do now.......(i get bored easy:( ) A. change the xs intercooler and manifold for a named one so it is perfect in my eyes with only the best on her, B. buy another stock one and start again........ but this time with a lot more knollege than before(thanks to this club and the great techie guys here.) maybe start with a 6 speed and engine rebuild, (the worry is picking the wrong garage again,) or do i just sit back and enjoy what i have got, and maybe concentrate on getting my boys turbo,ed:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Personally, I would leave the boy with just an NA for at least one winter. Maybe get yourself an old sports car that needs some restoration and keep the Supra. You can pick up beaten up old ferrari's cheap and you could restore it back to its glory.

Gaz6002 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 not keen on the porshe, was contemplating the noble:cool: but not that keen on the look of them:rolleyes: The noble is nice but IMO the Porsche is better in every way... I'd KILL for a new GT2. I like the big twins idea though, there aren't enough cars running a serious big twin set up in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Keep it Gaz. It's a stunning car matey and just use your spare money to maintain it with some good traders hey However, you could invest in a nice Seq gearbox for really quick shifts!

CarlT67 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Keep it, its superb.... Alternatively you could swap it with me for mine and have a new project whilst making another member very happy....! P.S I knew someone who had a Noble for a bit but got rid of it as its reliabilty was so poor, nearly broke on every journey.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Enjoy it for a while now you have it all working, I have been going backwards for the last few months and have not driven it for almost 2 with several thousand pounds to spend in the coming month just to get it running again, I cant wait to get it back and if one good thing has come out of the problems it is that I still really want to get the Supra back on the road and drive it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 My dream would be to buy stock and build up a no compromise road/track weapon, stripped out, built engine, race set up suspension, cage the lot. Forget the bling, just go all out performance and handling. Something along the lines of the JUN or the Do Luck Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Send it to CW and have the full geo\suspension setup, once that's done I can't see the GT2 would have much over you. I know the Supra is no Porsche and the GT2 is an awesome machine, but you know this car in and out, if you buy a different car then you're buying another unknown entity that may cost you money. Get the XS power stuff off, get the geo\suspension sorted and then enjoy the hell out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Forgive me if I offend anyone, but this is the bit it don't get..... Saying stuff like "I've got the car where I want it to but what do I do now?" I just don't understand it. This isn't just directed at you Gaz, but you see a few members spend literally £000's on their cars to get them to damn near perfection and then sell them because they're "bored" or fancy anothger challenge. My advice is kepp it,enjoy it, lap up the accolade, you have a truely stunning car, I'll certainly never acheive that sort of level with my car ever, but if I did, I would want to keep it and enjoy it for as long as I could.

dibbleyuk Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Its is lovely Gaz you could always help me with my project! Like you said get rid of the xs stuff and go for some nice branded stuff like HKS, Greddy etc What brakes do you have? Brembo's mite be a nice touch.
