Yes had a 480bhp BPU'd TT then a 390bhp TT Aero.

For £2,000 you'll see 450bhp with BPU (Basic Performance Upgrade) which is uprated fuel pump, exhaust, decat and restrictor ring, plugs, filter.

Not as much fun as the Scoob especially on bends but straight line speed of a Supra is amazing, still can't believe how quick they were. If you go for an auto they perform really really well but make sure it doesn't kick down on bends else you'll be instant boosting and off the road.

mkiv supra forum is a good place to look.

Here was my two

I had one. Written off by a coach driver cutting a corner (him not me)

Good car. Interior a bit bobbins though, hard to find a good one as they mark really really easily. Feel very planted on the road and was easier to hustle about than i expected.

However, the power does easily and quickly overwhelm the rear tyres so in the wet drive careful. The standard TC is also rubbish, best get RaceLogic or something and even then, don't think it is going to save you!

Fantastic cruiser for motorways though, sheer size and comfort was brilliant.

5t.

It's wierd as the shape still looks good, with a few tweaks you could release that shape now and it would still be better looking than loads of current cars.
