  1. Currently my eclipse's mileage is around 9,5liters/100km at 140kph on the freeway. And about 11,5liters/100km for city/local roads. Driving slow, not at WOT all the time. When i get the supra will i nottice a huge difference in the mileage or not so much? I've heard on magazines about supras drinking 16liters/100km in city but i never trust advertizing. What's your usual mileage? Driving normally, not stepping the throotle to the floor all the time. I'm planning to drive the supra as everyday car to go to work. Thanks for your help.
  2. Ebay? I always thought that ebay was only for sell 2nd hand things from particular people. Do they sell new things? I'll look at it. Thanks
  3. This red supra it's exactly the same i posted in blue/silver before. It's from JadaToys. And isn't not discontinued if i'm not wrong. At least the guy in the shop told me that is still listed on the catalog. Next week i'll have it (I hope). Just look for a website of any hobbyist shops in your town and ask them if they can get it. (it's from Import racer series of JadaToys) It's one of the most detailed scale cars i've ever seen.
  4. I'm just looking for a supra it doesn't matter if it's stock looking, F&F, or american tunning. I was thinking about this one: http://216.55.190.32/yahoostoreidcow/products/diecastcars/jd2008.jpg Or the F&F: http://www.formulakit.com/ima/5473_Mvc-019s.jpg But the stock ones that you posted here look good! I don't know. If you say that the stock ones are not longer available i'll have to buy one of the two i posted pictures of. The first one is much more detailed than the F&F. So maybe i'll get the blue one.
  5. It would be great if you could find the site. Thanks!
  6. Finally found something in Spain (where i live) in1/18: http://www.formulakit.com/resultados.asp?busca=supra&Tipo=1%2F18&imageField.x=30&imageField.y=4 But are expensive.
  7. Does anybody know any web where can i purchase a 1/18 scale supra? Thanks!
  8. Oh, thankyou guys. That's good info about the traction control. Shure the racelogic will be expensive!! And about the horsepower, somebody just told me that in USA they use the SAE Horsepower mettering unit and that's different than our DIN units. That's why it's little different. Now i'm starting to understand why my eclipse never had th amount of HP that they claim it should have at stock level. You don't know the story but has been a headache to me. Damn units!! Check that: Conversion tables
  9. Hey, Thankyou ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's good to receive all those welcomes!! :D Thanks for the answers. But theere's some things that i need to clarify. - What's LHD soop? - 3 question I was asking is because if i don't misunderstood, somebody was talking that his car had 700HP that was equivalent to 800HP in USA¿¿¿??? I'm confused, but it seems that "1 european HP" is not the same that "1 american HP". Is this true or am i very confused? - "should be binned for Racelogic traction control" What's binned? I don't understand this, sorry.
  10. Hi to everyone. I'm Miky from Spain. I'm very newbie on the supra world. I currently own a Mitsu Eclipse turbo little modded, but in process of selling it and buying a Supra from Germany. (I need a left side steering wheel supra) I have a few questions: 1- I've seen on a UK webpage talking about taking out only the last Cat converter, they say that if you run no cats, the boost rises like crazy and maybe you could have even boost creep. So they recommend to leave the upper one. Also doing this you avoid using the O2 simulator. What do you thing about that? Is better to take out the two cats or to leave the upper one? If you take the two out and put a MBC all the boost problems are solved? 2- I saw somebody talking about blowing a FMS, what's a FMS? 3- Somebody was talking about his supra's HP "700rwhp (about 800rwhp in usa)". Are the HP in USA compared to other countries measured different? 4- European and USA supras should have the same engines and same Horsepower, don't? (I do know that Japan version don't) 5- Is there any switch to turn off The Traction system inside the car, or the only method is taking out the fuse on the engine compartment? I have a lot to learn, please be patient with me. I do know a lot about eclipses but almost nothing about supras. I'm in a recycling process now. I just need info, info, info... Thanks guys.
