    Damn it I can't believe I missed that........ It now makes sense- buy supra n/a!!- the lack of twin turbos means its got more room in the back, a bigger boot and some space also in the engine bay for luggage etc...... like a vw beetle......... whilst still kicking out 120bhp and being able to chase down every supercar on the planet.... Then I can post some fairy...... sorry....... sworn statements on the spirited driving section, acting surprised but swearing that the ferrari enzo driver was trying cos he gave me the classic 'thumbs up' when he eventually caught up with me!!!!!!!................. Now to cancel my order

    That was my thinking- wanted something that we could all enjoy and was a bit special- Always loved saabs- they are just so different and as you said the best time to buy a covertible is when its 3 degrees outside and raining- Really looking forward to collecting the saab next weekend- its a completely different proposition to the Supe- more relaxed and refined, quieter, more economical- but yes a hell of a lot slower..... but I don't care Mike

    A new addition to the family means I have recently sold my supe tt gz auto after 3.5 years-its been an excellent car- utterly reliable- Had it BPU'd this year and its performance became astonishing- but the time was right for it to go. Something 'safer' and more practical was needed and I came to the conclusion that 400 bhp and UK roads isn't really that compatible. Therefore I have thus just achieved my other ambition and just bought this- a Saab 93 Turbo convertible -seats 4 comfortably- is super luxurious and will allow me, the wife and the child to have some fun cruising this summer........ and its good having a manual gearbox again after all these years of an auto . This website has been brilliant over the last 4 years and I hope the saab sites are half as good- I'll still visit from time to time to see how things are and hope that the supe continues to be an enthusiast's car. see you soon Mike
  5. I have an RSR and yes it is loud on the motorway, but I turn the stereo up The exhaust looks silly with the baffle in

New baby forces sale- need bigger back seats!!!! must be sold £7995 or make me an offer PM me if interested.
  7. V funny The little one changes things and the supra just isn't a car that I would want to take me, the missus and him out in, as it is too fast(i think it is difficult to drive it slowly) and too noisy- attracts chav racers- thus need to replace it with something sporty, but not in the same performance league as the sup, practical and something that we can all enjoy as a family. Thus come on folks if you are after a well looked after cherished sup- drop me a message!!!
  8. The time has come- after over 3 years of ownership- the arrival of a new baby in Feb means that the Supe is just not getting the use it deserves- spending most of its time parked in my garage. I have tried but its not the most family orientated of cars so a change is needed. Specs are: Double Decat full BPU Whifbitz Stage 2- 1.25 bar K&N Panel Filter Walboro Fuel pump Irridium spark plugs Greddy Profec B II boost controller HKS boost guage, Ultra turbo timer RSR GT Exhaust 17 inch vtr spilt rim alloys Full strut front strut brace OEM skirts and spats TRD badging 100watt upgrade lighting Facelift clear indicators Nikkai TV/CD/DVD/RDS/MP3 entertainment system Sigma cat 1 alarm/immobilser private plate All the usual GZ toys electric everything, cruise etc Car regularly serviced in the UK with last service only on 09/08/0-mot till Feb 08, tax till Jan 08 Car located in South Croydon A fantastic car with performance I can only describe as violent. PM me if interested.
  9. Agree- I can't believe that they left- basically babies- alone. I take my young son with me to restaurants all the time- most places are quite child friendly- At first I thought the parents were your usual chavs who have no problem leaving a newborn in a house full staffy bull terriers- but was surprised to hear that these are intelligent people.

    Ultima

    ultima gtr- serious bit of kit- nothing but nothing would be able to live with one of these on the road.- bet its a nice feeling knowing that you can kick anything you come across on the road. I would have one- they are not cheap on face value- but they are a bargain if you look at their performance

    What Battery

    Yep Halfords calcium battery for me too- and it had the small terminals so it took no time to install.
  12. I use these guys for all my supra servicing- they seem to know their way around supras Woodcock service station Woodcock Hill Felbridge East Grinstead West Sussex RH19 2RE 01342 325544/326213 Mike
  13. I have been full BPU for less than a week and so far the performance is electrifying- It truely justifies the way the supra looks and gives you the confidence to destroy most cars out there. If something blows like the 'big single turbo' I already have in the car- then it gives me the perfect leverage with the wife to get new one which is off course a 'like for like' replacement (wink wink) with the 'one' that has blown. Mike
  14. I have the boost set at 1.25 bar on the controller. 1.7 bar sounds lethal- wouldn't that blow your engine/turbos up? I opted for whifbitz stage 2 performance pack at £630 excl vat- check out their website- this includes full decat uprated fuel pump colder spark plugs and a greddy profec boost controller I think the difference in performance is massive- It gives the supra the performance to take it into the 21st century.
  15. Just taken the plunge and gone BPU after 3 years of Supra ownership . Made the trip today to Whifbitz in Enfield from South Croydon to have the job done. The result- what a difference- the performance of the supe is now best described as savage- as the driver of a carrera 4s I met on the way home will verify- if he is honest!!! Thanks to Paul and his team for a job well done. For all your stockers out there............ you know what you have to do Mike
