Well, my mate has finally gone and done it...

After over a year of searching he's finally bought himself the Supra he's been searching for! He bought this one (the git!):

The b@stard still hasn't brought it round to my house to show it off. Must try and blag a drive when he does :D :D :D

Apart from the fact that hes got it in the best damned colour that there is for a Supra, he aint all that lucky ;)

You could always rub it in by saying that it only has about 280ish brake, fragile turbos and the worst brakes this side of a land rover, and iirc the vvti makes it more difficult to tune...

But i'd still give one of my kidneys for it...


Bitter? Not me Guv ;)

Looks like it's finally gone off the AutoTrader website. Sorry Dave :(

Supra's are my dream cars.
But dont worry 2*****'s are still my catch;)

I will aim one day to get a Supra, and max it up.
In about 4-5 years time I will have about £50,000 to play around with.

So Supra style it is.

What colour was it?

If I had £50k, I'd buy an R34 . . .

Disloyal? Never . . . :D

[STiMPY]

The Supra he bought is "Royal Sapphire Blue".

[STiMPY]

He brought it round tonight. It's rather nice. It's also liberally sprinkled with lots of things bearing a HKS badge. There's 3 or 4 gauges (2 mounted in a pillar pod), and under the bonnet there's even more smile inducing things with a HKS badge including a full induction kit, looks like a HKS DV, and a HKS intercooler in there somewhere as well seeing as there's quite a few pipes with HKS on them. All in all a nice bit of kit he has there. Standard zorst is a bit quiet though, he asked my advice, so naturally I told him to get a Blitz Nur Spec R :D He's after some wheels and tyres at the mo' as well, wants to go from standard 17s to 18's. Anybody know what wheels and tyres would suit a Supra? Blitz naturally look the bo11ocks, but he doesn't want to spend that much :eek:

The most crucial thing with the wheels and tyres is that you match or exceed the stock wheel/tyre widths. Most 18's are only eight inches wide, useless! You want 9" or 9.5" on the back I think.

You also have to be very careful about clearance over the brakes at the front.

I would suggest that you point him at www.mkivsupra.net/bbs where plenty of people have aftermarket wheels and can tell you what works and what doesn't.

I think you'll find 10 inch width with 18 inch rims are best on the back
