Guest wardycatt Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Answer: buy one! That's why I'm here. I first got the Japanese car bug a few years back when I went to buy an average, sensible car and instead blew double my budget on a 200bhp Honda Prelude with a few mods and in an outlandish colour. Unfortunately, the Honda didn't like wet roads much and got 'married' to a fence last year. After crawling out the mangled wreckage I decided the sensible thing to do would be to go and get something with at least 100bhp more power! Makes total sense. For that kind of power, I'm looking for a turbo. I will consider an N/A aero-top if it looks really good (needs to be something special, i.e. unusual colour). It's coming into summer after all (well, the three days of summer we get up in Scotland, lol). I'll be monitoring the 'for sale' section until I see something I like. I'm also looking on eBay, Pistonheads and AutoTrader - if anyone can suggest anywhere else I could look, please let me know. Then, once I have a Supra, I can be a proper member. Looking forward to that day. Wardy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 You don't need to own a supra to become a member, just to love them, oh and pay the fee If you do get one, you will need to learn some respect for it. No 300hp+ rwd car likes the wet either, some get caught out in the dry too take care Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeksuprakent Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Even the N/A Auto has a happy tail, Supra's love to have fun lol ... you just need to respect the car, and you will enjoy year's or worry free motoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Welcome and good luck with the search. If you go for a TT it is a good idea to look for one with a Racelogic TC system in place if the STD one, or at least budget for one. Had mine for 2 months now and enjoying it loads!

Abz Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Welcome, if you decide to thrash a Supra in the wet, please be prepared to get married to a coffin. The Prelude, depending on which model you had can be quite heavy handed in the wet. With 200bhp at the front wheels and not brilliant tyres or geo they can have pretty nasty understeer in the wet. I have experienced it first hand being a passenger in a car which went across 2 lanes on the motor way, his budget tyres didn't help the matter. And you don't have to own a Supra to be a member of this club. I sold mine recently, but still staying here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
