Getrag Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Well, its been a long wait and an intense couple of weeks but I finally got myself a Supra. '94 jspec 6spd TT. And I couldnt of done it without the help and support of this board. After seeing a Supra in the 'trader that I quite liked the look of, 250horses and MRB kindly offered to take a look at it for me. I really wouldnt have bothered if you hadnt help me there, thank you! After Charlie and John looked at it for me and gave it the thumbs up I went down to Colchester to have a look at it myself. I liked it and struck a good deal with the owner. I paid my deposit on Saturday and agreed to pick it up Thursday after he had a few little things fixed. That was the longest few days of my life. So worried that he would sell it. Well, to be fair to him he was a great guy, got all the little things fixed and kept it good for me. I picked it up yesterday morning and then used the 450 mile journey back to get used to Supra ownership Since I got it back I really cant stop driving it, hence posting about it at this time. I didnt even want to tempt fate before I had got it to let you guys know lol. I'd also like to thank Matt H who gave me a lot of advice concerning electrical things with the car, thanks Matt. And thanks to everyone else who have supported and encouraged me throughout the whole process, Grazer, Thunder, Tom and all the other people that I cant remember at 1.30am sorry. And I'd also like to thank the acadamy.... So, onto the bits you care about, whats done to the car Outside: Blue respray Full Veilside kit Fibre Glass Abflug bonnet BBS alloys Inside: Momo wheel Some kind of gear knob and hand brake Boost guage Turbo timer Shift lights Jap style big head unit with CD and mini-disk Performance: Blitz induction Blitz BOV on hardpipe A custom, 1 piece double decat and custom exhaust (the thing is one whole piece and looks of very good quality) Here are some pics that either Charlie or myself took. Its looking filthy now but will get a good cleaning in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd also like to thank the acadamy.... It's tDR now f00! Glad you're happy with it m8 Like I said via MSN though, IMO you need to loose the ghey eyebrows, banner and on a lesser note change the wheels as I don't think they suit the Supra. You'll get good money back on them with them being BBS I imagine, then get a nice less spokey set lol - make sure they're wide with a nice low offset though. All totally my opinion though, if you're happy with it as is then that's what's important. Like I said before, pop over to mine at some point this weekend an we can fix your stock BOV problem Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazer Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Nice one m8 Looks well sweet - even more so when the sleepy eyes and stickers go I think you should lose the Veilside kit... ....I'M THE ONLY VEILSIDE IN THE VILLAGE Are you around this weekend? I need to see this beast in the flesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getrag Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Thanks guys. You forgot to tell me about not getting any traction in this weather Grazer, yeah will be about, we can arrange a veilside only meet Only after I clean it tDR, deffo need that BOV looking at. Can feel it leaking and reducing power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Just gis a text m8 an I'll give you directions. Can't do tomorrow night as I'm having an xmas meal at a posh restaurant with the family Tomorrow morning probably best for me. Big tip for you - switch the crappy traction control off everytime you get in the car as part of the startup procedure - it's deadly! Cheers, Brian.
