Hello from a noob!

Hi there,

 

I'm currently awaiting the registration documents for my new baby, it's a 1994 JDM Twin Turbo in red, with a few mods:

 

18 Inch AVS Alloys

Bomex Front Spoiler

TRD Factory Bodystyling

Veilside Stainless Steel Exhaust System

ARC Induction Kit

Blitz Dump Valve

Titan Strut Brace

 

It's in mint condition and has only done 39,000kms! I'll put up some pics when I have her home.

 

Can't wait to get it of course, the test drive was a performance revelation:d

 

I've sold on my faithful Daihatsu YRV Turbo to get the Supra, twas a great wee car and gave 5 years solid service, but onwards and upwards.

 

PS. My other car is a Smart Roadster Coupe, I need at least one car that gets 45+ mpg!;)

 

cheers

Graham

Welcome to the club Graham, congratulations on the purchase.

 

TRD Factory Bodystyling - I'm guessing these will be the Toyota optional skirts and rear spats, they often get mistakenly described as TRD.

 

Veilside Stainless Steel Exhaust System - rare, good exhaust

 

Titan Strut Brace - Is this the ARC Titan? If so they are very rare, only other one I have ever seen was on my old car.

 

Get some photo up, we like photos.

 

cheers

Thanks for the welcome guys, I will put up pics next weekend after I pick up the car.

 

I was due to pick it up yesterday and had a lift down south sorted, with a mate in his 993 Targa:cool: I was looking forward to a fast run back home over the A66!

 

Looks like I will need to get the train next weekend instead.:(

 

It's an auto btw.

Link to dealers pics, clicky

 

It's sold BTW!

 

Looks like a nice tidy example :thumbs:

 

Yes it's an ARC front brace, they were very expensive when new as they are made from titanium.

 

I would invest in a new filter for the ARC induction box

The side skirts aren't TRD I think they are Bomex same as the front lip.

Wheels are Advan AVS VS-5

That mileage seems very low, I'd be a bit suspicious whether it is genuine on a 15 year old car.

 

I was equally sceptical, the condition of the car indicates a low mileage and it's not easy to confirm a lot of the history when you can't read Japanese! But from time to time there are obsessives who clean their cars more than they drive them and I'm hoping that this is one of those cars!;)

 

We bought the missus a CRX Del Sol SiR last year with only 40k miles on the clock, again I was deeply suspicious. However, the Sha-ken certificates confirmed it was accurate. Fortunately, there is a girl at work who reads/speaks Japanese and she was able to confirm the bills and receipts.

 

I'll get her to do the same for the Supra!:D

Thought I'd put up a couple of photos of my cars:
