  1. Very helpful comments Nic thanks and nearly 300bhp from an MR2 has to be be pretty nippy Thanks for your help I think I'm beginning to get a better understanding of them now
  2. 17 years wow thats impressive a very nice supra it is too and in the best colour
  3. I have a spare cylinder head from an old mkiii which is great condition but thats as far as my "bits for a mkiii" go sorry mate, have you tried the mkiii forum?
  4. If we wish to go up on the friday daytime and stay the friday night too so we can make a nice weekend of it do we contact the place direct or can we get good discount through you? also I paid the deposit for a double room by going through the club shop but to pay the rest of the money is there a paypal account to send the money to or how do I go about this? Cheers
  5. Hi mate was good to meet you at the xmas meal and glad you have started to sort your Supra out bet you cant wait I haven't got my blue one that was there anymore I have a different one now (can see in my project thread linked in my signature if interested) Welcome
  6. yeah definitely a good idea and would love to own one but would be abit more than I was hoping to spend as I would have to buy one already done because my Supra's my only car that would get my time and attention in turns of modding
  7. Love that suspension controller mate sorry to hear about your friend in his Supra
  8. Cheers guys I just liked the idea of having a turbo on my daily too and also the ability to have a little fun without bringing the Supe out, a 200sx would of been perfect really but is a little more than I want to pay for a daily runabout then saw the value of the mkii MR2 and looked like a bargain but it seems they are flawed from the feedback iv got so probably just stick with the one I got now, unless I spot a great bargain of corse
  9. I wonder if the feelings mutual
  10. some very tidy Supra's you have owned congrats on the anniversary
  11. I have a aquamist system on mine (was on the car when I bought it) as I knew nothing about it before I owned this car I looking into it (mainly youtube videos and google) just to find out more about it for maintenance etc.. and they claim very high performance increase because of the cooler intake temperatures meaning more oxygen so more fuel and as a result more power, do they really increase performance by much or is it just that its better for the engine? the figures they were claiming seemed very high
  12. Ahh I see, yeah I just thought they seemed great value for what you get from looking at ones for sale but from all the comments on here im changing my mind as it will be used all winter as my main car so if its really terrible in the wet its not the best option lol
  13. Cheers guys yeah the primary reason for having another car is for cheaper fuel and bad weather (and to be a winter car) so as much as I was wanting abit more fun its probably not the best option if its terrible in the wet lol. Think il just stay with the mkiii for now then although now my mind is in the background thinking "I wonder how much to get a turbo kit for it" lol, this will pass though (hopefully) as it was just going to be a swap of cars and I wasnt wanting to put any extra money towards it (the supra's costing enough in mods this last few months lol) haha good point

  15. Ahh I see yeah I know what you mean I end up going out my parents place and stealing mums Honda CRV when I need a practical vehicle lol, I did look at s14's but they seem to hold there value quite well and I'm only really looking to spend up to the 2k mark (what I could get for mine) as I'm spending a load on my supra atm, cheers il have a think
  16. Yeah that's was another thing I was thinking about the fuel economy, I'm averaging about 42mpg out of mine which is quite good but just really lack a turbo lol, is it just the fuel economy that you don't recomend them as a daily for or is it the drive too? (Iv never driven one so not sure on the difference)
  17. Apart from the supra I just got a little MR2 for going to work and back for cheaper fuel and to keep the Supra tidy, I currently just got the roadster version which is a normally aspirated 1.8vvti and is a great little car but I'm missing a turbo. So anyway Im wanting something very cheap as its a second car but rear wheel drive and turbocharged so came up with the mkii MR2 turbo..... Has anyone got/had one? If so what are they like are they nippy enough and can you kick the back end out easy enough for abit of fun (only talking abit of fun every now and again not monster drift runs or anything) I also believe from what iv heard (may be wrong it's only what iv been told) that you can get an import which is 250bhp as standard and still cheap to buy or even any other suggestions on cars that fit what I'm after but gotta be cheap as its only a second car
  18. We'l have to meet up with the cars and have a game mate Hahaha yeah it can get like that can't it
  19. Hello and welcome do you have a supra, looking for a supra or just like supra's?
  20. Try Gibson Trimming, He done my A pillar gauge holder and the quality was fantastic
  21. I sold a set only a week or so ago for £35 including postage
