New member - my TT Supra
Discussion
Hello, 2nd post on here - flashed my rear on the "show us your rear" thread and someone said they wanted to see more!! Weird place this!
So here goes - this is my p&j although perhaps I should say "our" because my wife shares the interest in having it and has some influence on it - which is why it had to be red: ("it's not a sports car unless it's red!" Lol!) and it's an auto (so she can drive it occasionally). These pics were taken at the recent Japanese Auto Extravaganza, Kettering. This was our first ever car show and we were there with some of the other people from the mkivsupra.net club - their hospitality was amazing and we had a great time!
It's a 3 litre twin turbo Supra and we've had it since 2005. It's pretty much stock apart from new headlights, sidelights and aftermaket HKS exhaust, also just changed the wheels to 18" and grilled the front vents. It's a 1993 model and I bought it direct from the importer.
It was running at around 320 bhp and managed a 13.5 sec quarter mile at Santapod a few years ago. If I get the proper gauges to check the afr etc. I could up the boost to 1.2bar (from 0.9) and get around 370bhp, maybe more. Not really bothered about the power though because you can't make use of it much around our Mid Devon roads! Unfortunately, it spends most of it's time covered in mud because I have to cover 4 miles of country lanes to get to a main road from where we live.
Hope to get to a few local PH meets now I've found your site so it will be good to meet some of you in the SW.

I think the whole car looks rubbish, and will do him the favour of taking it off his hands for a 'more than enough' £10k... Its my last offer.

It's a good offer but to be fair to you you'd get a really nice TT 6 speed for 10k!! Too much to pay for mine... <Waits by email inbox>
