Animal Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Evo 8 yes you can modify, but it just won't give as much bang for buck.. Or it'll just give one very BIG bang... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meko Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 get yourself a daily drive and a TT / single. Drive the daily drive over winter while getting the Supra to how you want it..... This is England, you've got a good 10 months before we get some decent weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very I'm very impressed with your Mazda, but then again, the Americans don't do things by half when they Mod cars hey! Some of the American Supras are nuts! BTW Matt H. your car is exactly what i want, minus the spoiler and paint in blue! sex on wheels Thank you very much The spoiler is rather a contentious thing with members on the forum! Most aren’t fans either. I may change it for either a do-luck, or back to stock? If you want it, I’m always open to an offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meko Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Or it'll just give one very BIG bang... Sounds like a story one of my mates told me about. He worked for Mitsubishi a while back. Some lad came in and bought a brand new Evo, a few days later it limped in as the engine had blown. Somebody else had seen the car come in and whispered something to the manager.. who then toddled off down the street, had a word in somebody's ear and then watched the CCTV footage of the said Evo being thrown around, doughnutted and red lined around a supermarket car park. Apparently the lads face was a picture when he was told the warranty was void as he was too dumb to blow it up in private and they'd seen the CCTV footage.

That's another thing about the Evo, it has a stigma attached to the kind of owner. Such as shame because they are awesome cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) For practicallity and cheaper running costs (mainly fuel) i'd go evo 8, if thats not a concern then the Supra every time, somethings not right though? you left the sunshine state for here? are you mad!

dr_jekyll Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 i would choose a supra over an evo purly because supras are butifull curvy works of art, evos are pig ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Prolly bit off topic but I saw the pics of the two birds sitting on your aerotop Matt_H. You prolly didn't wash your car for ageeeeeeees eh? On topic : I would choose the Evo8 as a daily driver. The Sup is pretty but its more of a weekend cruiser. Evo = more practical and can look pretty brutal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooling Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 so i understand he supra is pretty reliable... for a BPU+ (TBE/SRI/FMIC/BOV/BC) what sort of interval do you wait before changing the oil, and what sort of MPG do u get?

tooquicktostop Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Stock Supra makes for a great daily driver, the further away from stock you get the less you find yourself driving it if you have a second car, if its your only car then you have no choice !

You prolly didn't wash your car for ageeeeeeees eh? lol. I was the car religiously, not even Cameron Diaz's arse print would get to stay.... maybe so i understand he supra is pretty reliable... for a BPU+ (TBE/SRI/FMIC/BOV/BC) what sort of interval do you wait before changing the oil, and what sort of MPG do u get? It's very reliable in stock form. When you start tinkering, it's then only as reliable as the people doing the tunning. Having said that, the 2JZ is an awesome base to modify however, you only have to look at JamieP's project thread to see the power he is running on stock internals... Plus he's a nut behind the wheel!

bigbloodyturbo Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The supra is the best DD car I've had, the torque makes pottering about town easy and its blessed with a really good autobox which makes most types of driving (motorway or 'spirited') fun. The EVO will probably be a bit more raw but for straight line performance supra's are hard to beat, and tbh who drives their car 10/10ths round bends on public roads anyway. Only thing the EVO would win on is backseats that fit human sized people and 4wd which will make pulling away from junctions in the rain a bit less pant-wetting.

spooling Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 what about with all the rain we have been having for the past 2 weeks, how have you been dealing with it? that's my biggest worry about a high power RWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Ive had a evo 4RS a 7GSR and a 9GT, supra is a far better car imo. Rain is no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris25 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 rain just means you can have fun at slower speeds lol. It just takes a couple of goes on a wet roundabout to stop being a pussy and use your right foot to keep the back end out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
