my new supra :D :D :D :D :D

Hey guys, well I picked up my Supra today.

I signed up about a week ago and posted up for some advice about the NA Auto, got lots of good answers that re assured me so I got the car I was looking at!

 

anyways, theres still some stuff i wanna know, like how you delimit the thing, and the easiest way to get rid of the bolt of fog light, how to take off the rubber sil under the bumper, also how do you use the manual mode on an auto box! lol

 

anyways, had the car about 8 hours but managed to take a few pics before the daylight faded.. so here she is..

Wire your fog light into your rear lights;) Should be a " How to " post on here somewhere...

Yeah found it now cheers, ill have a read soo how i do it!

 

there are a few things im looking at doing, i dont kno how they got that far but it has stone chips on the roof, lots of little white dots, and also it gets to 115mph [im told ] and it brops back down the revs although its only at around 3700 rpm!

 

The guy who had it was smashin bloke, and he gave me a big folder of receipts and history on the car, its been dyno'd at 246bhp, but i dont think any performance mods have been done to is aside from the exhaust!

 

Im curious what else i can do to it to get more out of it, over time of course!

 

thanks for the nice comments guys, looks like im gonna be in these pages for a wee' while to come!

very tidy

Very nice looking car you have there.

 

Put some UK glass headlights at the top of your wanted list and it'll look ten times better

good looking supra hope your happy

Good point. Mods, there's no link to follow on the manual mode hotlink, even though it says there should be.

Where it says "Follow the link below", is there one? I've just got a smilie there.

 

Edit. Ah, I see you have to click on the hotlink, not just hover over it.

Looks very tidy mate, and it already has the clear indicators and active spoiler

Dyno'd at 246 BHP ? thats no standard N/A supra mate must have some good mods done .

Also that that rubber flap as you call it under the front bumber is an active spoiler and my advice is you want to keep that rather than take it off , It may even be wired in so its active .

 

And by the way ...... nice looking car .

Or the dyno has over-read

Maybe but lets not burst his bubble just yet .

Not my intention but a sense of reality may be in order.

 

Besides, dyno figures mean nothing unless they're being compared to some other readings from the same dyno.

 

As long as it feels quick to him, that's what matters

I'm sure it does feel quick to him as even the N/A's are quick cars .

feels quick compared to a Corsa GSI, and £1450 which is what i traded for it. TBH I have to confess i dont know the validily of the dyno printout, i got a massive folder of paperwork with the car, everything from receipts for alarms, import, mot's, tax paperwork, exhaust paperwork etc.. a lot of the stuff goes as far back as japanese paperwork too although im not to sure what that stuff actually is! lol

 

All i know is the prinout has the reg of the car on it and its a dyno readout. ill pop a picture on in a sec

Im def not boasting bout it.. im just happy with my new motor thats all

 

Yeah i think i may keep that aero spoiler on it too! i actually like the look of it tbh now have had a decent look around the car, the only part i DO want to sort is de restricting it, as it does feel limited once you get to 115 mph it drops down to 110mph and keeps doin it [never been in a limited car before tbh, so im assuming this is normal for a restricted ecu?]

 

anyways, heres a snapshot of the printout, weather its real or not i dunno, its prob not, but even so.. im happy with my motor!

Thanks everyone for your time and advice
