Guest IainS Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi everybody, Been trawling the website for a while to get tips on getting a decent supra - what a great bunch!!Taken a while to say hi because I've been really busy in work, but todays a bit slow so I've finally got a chance!! Served my RWD apprenticeship in a mk1 MX5 1.8, broke my heart to sell her and I even shed a tear much to the amusement of my girlfriend!!Sad I know...but I hope I've moved on to bigger and better things - certainly bigger anyway!! Got a tidy manual n/a for now while i save up for a tt (and the associated insurance!), kinda like the second stage to my training! So if you see a silver supra with proper shiny rims in and around Fife give me a flash (of your headlights ) Cheers, Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Welcome, the membership in Scotland is growing quickly, specially in your area and Tayside. Take it easy, get used to the car. Have you seen the planned meet in Aberdeen in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 oh no, Inverkeithing, you take your wheels off at night? Prob see you about as just up on the hill, so if a maniac in a blue MX5 or red fiat coupe starts waving at you like a loon, don't laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenauto Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi Ian, welcome to the site! I'm from Arbroath but my girlfriend is from your neck of the woods. Kirkcaldy. Rest assured if I see ya I'll give you a wave! I'll be the one taking it easy. I think its a bigger jump for me movin up from a vectra than for you movin up from a 5. Enjoy the site!

Guest IainS Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Cheers everyone, Nige, you and your mates inspired me to say hi to be honest!! Mine is a bog standard manual sz, just got nice wheels, lowered bilstein springs and a powerflow exhaust, saving my money for a TT:d ! Surprised how easy it is to drive, the 5 was like a go kart-real good fun in the wet, and I thought the Supra would be a bit heavy and cumbersome, however its really quite agile and controllable and obviously much quicker with loads more grip!! And its much better on the motorway, the Mazda would feel a little wobbly above 85 (even with 4 wheel alignment sorted)the Supra has so far reached 145 before it felt a little shaky ... thats 145kph honest!

nige Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'am sure you will have great fun,take it easy in the wet though they can be a handfull,master the n/a then get the TT you will be amazed at the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
