Bought my Supra at last! It's a non Turbo one, with some NOS on the way

Some NOS? Why didn't you just buy a Turbo then you wouldn't need NOS :D

wasnt you after a scooby? seen you in the for sale forum.
money spent on NOS could have got you something with a kit of kick anyway.

I don't need Nos, it's got 240bhp, but i just fancy going a bit Fast and the Furious!

Supras look far better than Imprezas, Sorry to say!!!!!

Looks better..hmm that depends mate..some pretty tacky lookin supras out there and also some pretty stunning ones....post some pics and let the masses decide!

Thought the non-turbo's were 220bhp as std - is your's modded?

How much did you buy it for? You can get modded twin-turbos for 9k easy.

N/A Supras are circa. 225bhp.
I had one for 6 months, great to drive, a bitch to park (too big), impracticle but look good!
I was paying £1250 insurance. I always wanted a Scoob and nearly spat my tea out when I found that a Scoob STi was £450 less to insure!
Your Supra will cost about £48 to fill up with juice and return about 19-21 mpg!
What size wheels/tyres has it got?
BTW they are ace for 2nd-gear tail-out action around islands! Dead controllable. Thats what I miss....

Lets see some pics :)

My Supra N/A M reg'd, HKS suspension, cream leather etc..

excellent drive, although unstable round bends with it being rwd. 100% Lady Magnet. Performance = scoob will dust it.
n/a supras are 220bhp, but they are a size of a tank, to be honest the power comes in once your in 3rd, so saxo driver's you may have a chance!!

I got rid of mine 4 moths ago, for 6300 pounds, which was a bargain!!

Whats the maintanance like on these beasts.....???? I do about 15K miles a year.

Gettin the itch for something quicker than my 328i and beastly lookin :)

100% reliable, the 3.0 n/a model has the same engine as the Lexus GS300. Interms of the servicing, well pretty straight forward, oil change after 3k, + oil filter, and thats about as far as the servicing goes.

When buying a supra check for the Tyres!!!, they could be a bit of a bill, and the sound of the engine. Usually they are very quiet engines. Normally you should only hear a light ticking noise on the top.

i take it u've discovered http://www.mkivsupra.net/bbs/ good 4 supra info as i was/am tempted on these kum next insurance year but over 3" wider means no garage & scary rear end action ;) but mainly kuz 6speed manual UK supra turbos R proper rocking horse poo!!! :D OH & it's guna b STi type R time ;)

Unstable around corners due to RWD? Just keep your foot on the accelarator and it will go round fine! It'll just take a bit of getting used to, like moving from any one configuration to another!

Hmm i find that comment highly dubious without a huge amount of skill & a decent after market traction control system planting foot round a corner & being able to wheel spin in any gear u fancy is likely 2 end in tears although i guess it may be slightly easier with the non turbo variety but still that is a car that needs mucho respect!!! :D

i would say its totally controllable,if you can drive;)

I can drive i mean Jade tought me all i no :eek: lol
