Delboy52 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Finally done it! Spent years on and off looking at Supra classified ads, test driving a couple of TT's and generally lurking on this site watching peoples projects develop. I now have RXV8's black V8 Supra. Top guy. Hell of a start to Supra ownership. This is it the evening it arrived.

Delboy52 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Cheers guys. The spoiler goes well with the batman look I think I have some ideas brewing on a new look so I'll keep you in mind if I decide to change it. Will get some videos done shortly.

Jamesy Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 nice buy there mate Are you ok to drive with that headlight duct all the time on the road? Or is it just for show? What colour is the car painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Very nice purchase. Now get some videos up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistermann Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Ah, I'm happy this has finally sold for both you and Nigel, he had it up for sale for ages! I went to see it and the car is beasty - Gotta love those engine tones! (I would be be interested in the headlight/air duct query too) We love pics and video's here.....welcome to the club!

Delboy52 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Do you mean is it legal? That duct goes straight into a hole in the airbox. The air filter is getting air and anything else thrown straight at it. I guess in heavy rain the filter might get pretty soggy. At the moment this is how it is all the time. I'm thinking of getting some facelift lights and routing the cold air feed into the bumper opening to be a bit more discreet. It could swallow a pigeon at the moment and make a new home in my air box! Do 100 miles a day for work so am seeing how good on fuel it is. So far it's better than expected.

Noz Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nice car. I'd love a V8 next. Are they actual carbon doors or is it wrap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone The front end of the car is carbon wrap Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nice car Dude! Welcome. Just make it nice and shiny black, ditch the carbon and the rear wing, and you'l add a few grand to the value, plus it would look the dogs! Seen the vid of this on youtube, sounds awesome!

The-Plethora Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nice purchase, I was suprised this car was hanging around as long as it did at that price. Make the most of that engine bay and get everything looking pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preston7 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 agreed with the spray it shiney black comment, I don't get the obsession with matt black, god knows why anyone would want their car to look like a plastic toy from taiwan. Anyway aside from my dislike af matt paint on cars I love the rest of it. Great buy mate, have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hope you got home alright in all that rain. We definately need to go with the idea of having an animal sticking out of the air intake even if it's just a stuffed toy lol. I'll see if I can get parked next to you tomorrow and we'll get a couple of pics done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I saw & heard this at SRR a couple of months ago & it justs imense! It REALLY got me thinking about a V8 conversion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Got home fine thanks. Police van swooped in behind me going through Bedford town centre this evening. Thought oh no here we go.. No problem though, even though the engine shouts it's way through the streets! Hehe. Car is very stable in the wet and dry, but the fuel meter moved a lot more coming home than going to work this morning. 100 miles covered, about £30 of 95 unleaded sent to the heavens. Will have to re-consider having this as a daily driver if it costs £30 a day just to get to work and back. Keen to bring it to some meets as I have questions mounting up. Eventually I will change the colour, but not to gloss black even though it looks good on other members cars. That'll be the single biggest cost I do.
