Guigsy took me out in his single turbo...

NUFF SAID

First ride in a single supra, bloody heck i want something like that! totally awesome, going to be on my mind all night now!!!!! what a beast

Nice looking car he picked up, what sort of times/terminals did he do at suprapod?

Chatted to him at the and and Im sure he said 13.6...... IIRC

He didnt beat his times from his UK Auto. Cant remember what he said his Terminals were

and evinX you dont deserve such a turbo as you would VS it and matt black hammerite it too

I'm still a single virgin......wait, that came out wrong lol. Hopefully get a ride in one at JAE.

He picked it up for a nice price too, nice wheels, nice car, just a bit of work and it'll be a stunna

Going to be one hot supra when done, jp's going to have competition!

Veilside Turbo, in matt black, WOULD LOOK MEAN AS HELL!

jp's going to have competition!

If its slower than his TT auto, i doubt it some how:)

its at 520 horses, your at 1000, imagine when he does the other half:D seriously though im looking at turbo supras in a different way now, very awesome cars! cant imagine what yours must feel like jamie, must get back problems:D

I was going to offer rides down the strip at Pod but after the first run with Gav, I got told off for doing over 130 with a passenger

That and the dodgy clutch.

Rofl Kev you nut.

Yeah Jamie I only managed a 13.3 at 115 in the end. Same as my uk auto. Was a bit dissapointed but I've never had a manual down the strip... It's a lot more difficult to launch! No idea how you manage it with double the hp. Im definately not competition . 1st and 2nd were prety much useless. The rears are only a 30 profile aswell so not much give in them. And I wasn't doing much burnout with it being a new car etc.

The car it's self I'm not happy with yet. There are a few niggley issues that have come up since i could drive the car. The ps rack is weeping somewhere. I realised it doesn't have any AC which is annoying. And after everything is good and warm after about 30 mins of driving it's very hard to get it into reverse. And 1st gets harder. I'm hoping it's just in need of a gearbox oil change.

Oh and the 4" exhaust and screamer is doing my head in. As are the bucket seats but that will be sorted when I get my uk back

Oh yeah, the wiring is a jumble and the speedo doesn't work

Then there are a few bits of bodywork... Bit of a project.

But I have to say a massive thanks to ash at garage 786 for getting the car ready for pod at quite short notice. And Ryan for mapping it. (that stalling issue I think was my shitty driving mate It hasnt happened since I've got used to the car)

The ps rack is weeping somewhere.

Check the big banjo fitting on the steering box on the rack. Mine has been corroding away over the years behind the plastic sleeve and finally blew a pinhole in it after some spirited driving If you have an undertray with the material still on it, it absorbes a LOT of PAS fluid so you might not see any leaks on the floor yet.

And after everything is good and warm after about 30 mins of driving it's very hard to get it into reverse. And 1st gets harder. I'm hoping it's just in need of a gearbox oil change.

That's more likely to be clutch drag. Do you have to put the clutch to the floor to shift? I've experienced it before after a few drag launches, with an RPS street max.

Hope that helps with a couple of the niggles
