Hello

 

Michael here, new Supra owner and member. I have a VVTi 6 speed, allegedly 65tkm. Had it imported myself from Japan. It has a full titanium exhaust with a huge hole in it, near slicks on the back, leaks a little oil, holes in the dash and some interior panels, dysfunctional soundsytem, larger spec breaks, fmintercooler, shabby veil side body kit.

 

On the upside, we are doing 310bhp on 0.8bar boost with 1st cat still in place and no boost control and running pretty rich, according to the guys at Austec. We are hopeful we can get that to 420 with full decat system, boost control. It shifts ok, mileage seems genuine. Impressive ride though: virtually no understeer around tight bends, easy to provoke into tail action but not vicious. Steering feels accurate and precise. Power, even though it is not much in todays world at 420 would be what the 996 GT3 had and would do well. Had big plans for larger twin turbos but cost is prohibitive and single turbo not so appealing as the power band at present is nice and smooth. Will need to think this through. Would love to give it a suspension upgrade, KW is the preferred choice but we will think about that and most of all would hope to be able to get feedback from those members who done that all.

 

So far pretty happy.

 

Michael
