gaijin Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thanks Ray.Its the one Paul has had advertised on the site:94 black auto about 400 bhp,its a beaut!.I have a Calibra turbo at the moment,putting out around 300bhp,bit more in torque;took it for a last blast today.It really can shift,she will go off the clock at 160 no bother and hit 60 in 5sec.Its one of the best examples i've seen.Ah well,look forward not back.Always wanted a Supra.Hope she will be as good as the Calibra is and has been.I feel that it will be,and more.Personallly,i blame Mr Allen for my oriental urges!Hello John!

letmeshowyou Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I got a soop from having a calibra turbo too! Have to say I've never looked back. Soooo much more reliable - a nice feeling getting up of a weekend not worrying about having to do things to the car to go anywhere. Good luck!

gaijin Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 You have a very good point there mate.Ther always seemed something that needed doing.can't wait to get a drive in the Supra,though an auto box is totally alien to me.Just exactly how do you squeeze a good 0-60 time out of it?

Shaun. Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hi and , you are going to love the soop, however your wallet won't once you catch the "mod" bug - and it's running rife in this forum ! Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambertpig Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 0-60 time - just nail your foot down and hang on! although if your after a good drag launch then search previous posts on autobox drag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 to the club No offense but comparing the Calibra to a Supra is just insulting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 No offense but comparing the Calibra to a Supra is just insulting! Not sure I agree there, but thats a discussion for another day. I know I wouldn't go back tho. Gaijin do a search on 'power braking' but beware of the potential consequences if you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks for the replys and advice.I'm not a particular fan of standing starts,its just if the notion takes me.I know this sounds naive;but just what is 'kickdown',no tittering!I wasn't comparing the Calibra to the Supra,its just that my Calibra is a good one:'96 with only 57k on it,and a flyer.As i said though i have had a long time hankering for a Supra;i think they are stunning,now i have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
