  1. wow, ive never seen so many crashes on an owners club, starting to think supras are cursed lol what have i done?!
  2. AgtX80

    280 or 325?

    Point taken. I must have short term memory loss. Im guessing the ceramic turbos are also weaker. Many people had primary turbo failure?

    280 or 325?

    Please clear this up for me once & for all. Are all supras 325bhp Jap or UK...or are some actually 280bhp as declared on the official stats? Im hearing that the UK cars had bigger turbos & stuff.
  4. For a system thats not full stainless, its a bit steep. I like the sound of the silent hi-power & the look too.
  5. Wish i knew how to do stuff on cars, n/a to TT conversion wow! See many of these exhausts going 2nd hand? Anyone know any good garages around derby area to get hold of & install the exhaust?
  6. maybe im a bit down on it cause i work there lol im sure its thrilling. Yes i will join up once i have my car 7 days
  7. Looks real good. Is it a cat back or does it go on the mid section?
  8. I work there, its pretty crappy & they dont let you see a lot of the areas. Youll mainly get to see the car having the engine put in & the monkeys putting in the interior. The tour doesnt come past me anymore on quality control. Think you see the weld shop & assembly plant(s) wont go in plastic shop, you can only go in the paint shop wearing a baby suit to prevent seeds & contamination & im certain they dont do that. They should show you the graveyard, all the cars deemed uneconomical to repair & all the cars the idiots crash on their way to the yard You have 0% chance of getting within viewing distance of the test track & -100% of getting a ride round it. I got a go when i started Mostly i see school kids & old folk on the tour which is in lil golf buggy train things. Were making the Cor...sorry Auris in my shop & Avensis in the other. They do a 280bhp V6 version of the auris in Japan. Why do we always get the shite cars?
  9. That would be great if you could do that.
  10. how loud is it? wake up the neighbours loud?
  11. i like ones that come out at an angle, cooool.
  12. Ok, whats the best exhaust? I have the super dragger on my current car as its not overly loud but its too expensive + rubbish. Didnt realise when i bought it that only the backbox is stainless steel, the rest is just steel, the thing rusted through in less than a year. Had to go to powerflow for custom pipework. Can you just get backboxes or do i have to buy a cat back? i dont want a super loud one. Fensport have the Blitz nurspec one for £265, in comparison the HKS supergdragger is £545
  13. My car is totally standard & too quiet for my liking, i want to leave the exhaust alone (unless a backbox is easily fitted & removed later). So figured an air filter would add some engine noise Whats the best aftermarket air filter? Anyone got a set of used alloys for under £500. I dont like the standard wheels.
  14. Just put a deposit on the car. Pick it up on the 29th.
  15. aint it meant to say Greddy? Yes, i have to admit. He must have been drinkin bottles Cristal while he was modding that thing to get 50k worth of bills. Torque GT is in Devon, wheres the one in autotrader at?
  16. AgtX80

    Just crashed

    Are they really that twitchy?
  17. Interesting. I know zero about autos. Its all very clever.
  18. i must be easily impressed. Show me an amazing supra
  19. Look at his wheels, hes obviously started to lose it and countersteered then smacked into you. Did the police come & look at everything? Those photos are enough to prove things, plus he wont be dumb enough to contest it (well maybe). It is a bit worrying how all the bodywork is crumpled level with the wheel, looks like that wheel took the force of the impact.
  20. http://www.torque-gt.co.uk/cardetails.php?c=78 Anyone got £25k i can borrow?
  21. But its only got 4 gears...manuals have 6 to get it to 155?? im puzzled
  22. Just hope they call it an insurance write off, keep hold of the car & use the cash to fix it up & then some!...& claim for whiplash.
  23. Just the damage on the 2 cars & how they came to a stop says its his fault without a doubt.
  24. Ok, i thought jap supras & uk supras had the same 325bhp, they just wrote 280 because of that gentlemens agreement about limiting the bhp in japan. GTR-34's get listed as 280bhp too. Found out today that his car actually has 260bhp. Only thing thats been done to is it that it has the tripple p pack on it. Standard exhaust. He said he wouldnt do a standing start because of the wear on the clutch so it would also be a rolling start. I dont even own the car right now (waiting for the guy to call me back), no intention of racing on an icy road...& by race i mean see who pulls away from who & not up to silly speeds & over a short distance, dont worry!, its friendly. Being a 4 speed auto, whats the top speed on the auto version? A lot lower than 155 i bet....130?
  25. How high speeds? I take it he tops out well below 150 then
