Ricky49 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I havnt had mine for 4months and not even missed it while it's was having the single done. Should have it back soon and now with over 650hp I won't be able to use it all, that will proberbly get me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Went out for a blast in my golf today and road here are still to wet and cold for me to get the supra out of garage Glad i went up to tunnel run and had a good laugh on road trip and the 2 runs. :DSince then its snowed and roads have been to bad to even think about geting car out, not worth the risk of opening it up and no grip Edited January 9, 2011 by GazB (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 What's up like Dunk? Heater matrix replacement? Already done that Jay, i havent a clue why but the dash has bulged up in the middle by the de mist vent, not sure if this will be an easy fix but knowing my luck i doubt it and guess it'll be a dash out job and possibly a replacement dash, this is almost the straw that breaks the camels back. Also got to re paint the tailgate as the high level brake light was removed welded and filled and started cracking ages ago, kind of had enough now and want a new car i dont have to touch.

I tottaly feel like that sometimes (even though most of my mods are non-essential and I do them to keep me occupied), but I have a funny feeling as soon as the car was gone I would look for something to modify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've totally lost the love, its a year since the mistery ABS fault reared it's ugly head.

Brazil Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I was window shopping online today for another car etc mainly looking for something more luxurious anc classy like Mercedes SL's but then I came to the conclusion that I need to have both cars to be truelly satisfied. I want to learn more mechanics, and the supra is such an interesting machine. So I will be keeping it, at the very worst I might decide to trade it for a better one..!

mikeyh Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) since mine decided to go pop at thunder rd back in november i was in 2 minds of what to do i came very close to breaking it up and forgeting all about the modified car route, i seem to use my focus alot more than the supra i always intended to have the supra as my second car anyway but ive hardly used it at all, ive looked at other cars but i know that there is nothing out there that i can have the same power and excitment the supra gives me, so ive decided to get over it swallow another great bill and get mine rebuilt in the next couple of months ready for the summer hopfully this will be the end of my problems but who knows Edited January 9, 2011 by mikeyh (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I often feel that I bought at the wrong time... Not happy with a large paperweight... But not ling left until Summer Exactly how I feel. I am terrified of using ours as salted roads will kill the wheels and I have to keep it clean to get it back undercover...!! Hopefully the summer will bring back the love. H.

j_jza80 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 S2 is a great car, friend had one years back and it was brilliant, even the older 2.7 TT S4 is very good and can be picked up cheaply. They seem like a bargain. They're very tuneable, and very tough by the sounds of it. A thinking mans Nissan Skyline maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I wouldn't say I'm out of love with mine but the lack of use is pissing me off a bit! I'm still missing the newer car feel to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Been there many times this is why mines a comfortable mix of a weekend and everyday car, and i dont get the blues anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I get annoyed not being able to use it in this weather, but I don't get the blues, or fed up feeling with the supra, I always just feel so lucky to own it, maybe cause I've got it looking the way I want it bar a few things. I loves ma supra though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 carefull guys i sold mine a couple of years ago and do miss not having it , i am getting another and will single it but there is always something in the way my work at the moment is taking over my life. i am also getting married in june, my heart is telling me to get one now (and everyday i check pistonheads) but my head is telling me to wait as i know i will not get the time to modify/drive it any time soon:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I haven't drove mine since the tunnel event And tbh It don't bother me at all, because before I got the supra the rx7 I had was off the road for a year and a half, so I was without a car for ages, plus it gives time to do the bits that need doing, bring on the summer though can't wait!

kill1308 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 From the looks of it, your car is better suited to nice weather conditions, so it's not surprising that it's not hugely enjoyable with this crap weather we're having at the moment. But stick with it, you'll enjoy it once the good weather is back. Having sold my Supra before Christmas for similar reasons to you (ie it not being nice to drive in crap weather), I'm seriously regretting it, so just stick with it until the better weather arrives and the love will come back.

TubbyTwo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have the no Supra blues if that counts. Coming on here everyday and, trying to sell my car and save enough cash to get a Manual supe take far too long. want one now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Why don't you do what i've done. I got a Hilux Surf for pottering about in. Its painfully slow but isnt phased by any sort of weather. Massive inside and if im honest looks really cool. Probably the best thing i've done is get that thing. PLUS it makes the supra that whole bit faster when i take it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
