I think it's about time I say hello as I've been a member for a while now :)

Any of you guys from the north east near redcar or darlington?

I don't actually own a supra the min but I am looking for one don't mind what model as long as it's manual if I was to be picky I'd say UK Spec too but that's not a must so if you guys see anything please shout :D

 

Thanks

Thanks guys! Okay well maybe I wouldn't rule out the auto I've never owned an auto before. I'm just after a clean pretty standard looking supra just not a silver one not a massive fan of silver cars :/ it's been my dream car since I was a young one :p

Ok best bet is ask a member who has either at a meet or something and see if they will take you out and show you what it's like.

Not really, I changed the OEM panel filter to a K&N one, the wheels & tyres, swapped the window scutter panel to a carbon fibre one from whifbitz, bought and fitted an OEM front active spoiler and then bought a box of wires off here so I could control it myself... But I do have some recarco seats sat waiting for rails in my spare bedroom, a set of coilovers in the boot, and Reg plate surround for the rear in the kitchen (ongoing to make it fit)

It will be going to BPU once my bank balance hits a figure Im happy with, and I'm still on the lookout for a TRD front strut brace.

 

Arrh it didnt go to car heaven, just bits were killed (calipers, clutch, paint, power steering pump, splitter, seats were pitted, all thanks to the **** from coke dust!), guess saying "killed" was OTT ha.

We will have weekend meets this year for sure last year was a bit of a nightmere concerning meets, there was so many different reasons things just didnt work out, hopefully with any luck things will be better this year

 

we could make the midweek meet in the summer abit later or shift it for alternating weeks to hartlepool or somwhere in the central area if theres gonna be a guys coming up from teeside

The dust is so fine it just got everywhere, bearing in steering pump, forced the calipers to seize, red seats and fine black dust dont mix ha. I'll never work there again in my life, that is a fact haha.

 

Yeh I hand picked it out of the japanese auctions, gave Jurgen a top price and let him do the rest, 30 hours later I was emailed "your now the owner of a supra" :D

Wasnt the first I bid on tho, think there was 3 or 4 supra, 2 Integra DC5 and maybe 2 Celica GT4s before finally winning what I have.

 

The hardest part was having to take bits off! Be alot easier on ramps too, not jacks!
