King_Chris Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm in Leigh mate. A few Supra's from the club are around here You will get the bug as soon as you drive it, then the journey to increase power will begin lol Cool, cool.. Not far from me then. So, if I ever need help with the supra, I know where to come. Lol. I've not even drove it yet and want to increase the power. Lol. I'll wait a while before doing that though.

Kirk Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 dude what did you used to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Chris Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Fiesta ST. No laughing, it was a first car. Lol. It was a quite respective 2 litre engine, but only produced 150bhp. So, wanted something quicker and always wanted a Supra. I want a twin turbo, but I've settled for a non-turbo. That way I can get used to the car itself, before getting a turbo conversion.

Stratty Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 What do you think of this, for a first time Supra. (Non turbo) but I'm happy with that. (As explained previously) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180354407202#ebayphotohosting That looks nice apart from being an auto..

King_Chris Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah. Well, it's a 3 litre engine, so it will produce a lot more bhp than the fiesta st. 220bhp standard. Right? And yeah, I don't think they would be a slouch, though I'm not sure how fast the n/a's can move off the line, or top speed. Anyone tested??

Kirk Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 yeah 220s bout right if its been looked after. They can hit bout 150-160 max, 0-60 in bout 7 secs, 6 and a bit if your super aggresive on the stick and your going down hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Chris Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well the top end is much better than the ST and the 0-60 is quicker too, considering the ST's lighter than the Supra. ST; 135mph max. 0-60 ; 7.5 Seconds. Supra sounds better and better each time I ask a question, or look at the pictures of it. Roll on Thursday!!!

Kirk Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 see some seem to forget that the NA has a fair bit of torque. ST would probly match sup to bout 60 - 70 then you would start pulling away.. the only downside realy is the weight but then again this a GT car.

add heywood Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Fiesta ST. No laughing, it was a first car. Lol. It was a quite respective 2 litre engine, but only produced 150bhp.

You sound like a sensible type of person which is good. Just watch out for the handling of your supra, especially if you have no experience in a rwd car. My car can be a handfull in the wet even going slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Chris Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah. Sounds about right. As I said in another forum on here. I was along side a mini cooper s which had more bhp than the ST, and with a bmw engine coould pull away from my ST, but the top end wasn't as much, or the driver was too scared to go above 125. Which is why I coasted past him, at 135 myself. I heard a sudden, yet extremely loud noise. Thinking it was either the mini cooper s catching up or something wrong with my car itself, I let go of the accelerator. Next thing I knew a twin-turbo Supra flew past me, going at least 160. From that moment on, I fell in love with the car and always wanted one. Now, I've found the one I want and willing to put money, time and effort into making it into my dream car. Hopefully works out.

King_Chris Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I wouldn't be going as fast in the Supra, like I did in the ST. I've learned my lesson from that when I almost got caught speeding from the police. Plus, don't need to go fast in a Supra, the car alone gets all the attention. Lol. So until I've got used to it and am confident with the RWD Supra, I think I'll defo be taking it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Chris Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I retract my last statement of you being sensible LOL. Nah, it was my slightly younger days, first car and I'll admit.. I was showing off to a few people. Defo not going to do that in the Supra though. Gunna take really good care of it, since it's my dream car.

Konrad Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hello This Supra you found looks pretty nice, just get rid of HKS induction kit once you will have it, it doesn;t filter air properly. Best performance induction is stock one believe it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
