Hi supra folks! I joined this forum for advice on what to go for. Am guessing that since this is a supra club it's going to be one sided but worth a shot! Basically I currently own a twin turbo FD, it's been spot on for 5 years and never let me down but now I'm after more power, I got a quote for going single turbo which was £10500 + vat! So I'm now wanting to sell my rx7 and buy one already with the conversion. So after looking for a good single rx7 I thought what about a single supra? So looking for good honest opinions on both cars lol cheers.

I love RX7's but they are terribly unreliable you seem to be the exception to the rule. Supra's are better in every way You considered an LS2 swap rather than a single, that would be a sweet car.

Supra without question!

Here is one in the classifieds that is a great car for the money:

Oh and where in Scotland are you!?

Yes that's what everyone says is they just aren't so reliable maybe I've been lucky but then others say if you look after and maintain them well then they are fine? Never thought if that but would that not cost a lot? If I found a good single turbo manuel that I liked I would consider changing to supra and selling the rx7. Something I could rely on would be good to as I live on a tiny island in the north of Scotland where if anything goes wrong, it's a long way to go to a specialist!

Which island mate...there is another lad who is on Shetland and struggles to even get super unleaded!

Hi Westy. Yea I'm just below Shetland I'm in Orkney. Yes same here! It's crap! I had to get my rx7 mapped for 95ron it's a shame but not much I can do. I'm losing out on a bit of power because they don't sell it here! Lol. Which is another excuse for wanting more power to allow for the drop when it gets mapped for that rubbish lol.

Ahh I know Orkney well mate...spent a Christmas and new year in Kirkwall and watched the Ba! And visited Hoy also a couple of times.

You on the mainland!?

Ah good stuff! Yea I'm in Kirkwall it's fine and quiet but would be better with super unleaded lol. What did you think of the ba? Lol

First time I was there I wondered why there was boards across shop windows and thought to myself that all the buildings must be a bit unstable!haha! But all became clear! I like the Ba tbh but the thing that would annoy me is the politics of who wins once its at the wall or in the water!

You an uppie or doonie!?

Haha you can tell some folk must be thinking what the hell is going on!? Lol. I am a Uppie and will be going in it this year Yes the end can go on and on but can be a good fight sometimes! Where in Scotland are you?

Live in Ayrshire and work in Glasgow buddy.

I'm sure there is another lad on here from Orkney now that I think about it!? Norrie88 (Norman Peace)...you know him!?

Aw I didn't know he was on here. Yea I know him, his supras been off the go for a bit now. Think he was going single but didn't quite go to plan.

Well he is signed up to attend the Scottish Modified Car Show with us in July so he must be confident of getting it up and running before then.

I knew you would know him...everybody knows everybody up there!lol!

Am sure he will have it going soon, I think he's putting it all back together now. Yea it's a small place lol.

Only just seen this! In a frequent visitor up to Kirkwall/stormness visiting mates! Never seen any other supra though (plus I don't normally take the supe up lol)
