Snooze Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'd be interested in this one - I've not come up against a Supra in my MkII yet. Must admit the weight of the Aristo makes it feel sluggish compared to how my Supra used to feel, but that might just be the smoother ride.

AJI Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 As I've owned and driven a few of both, the Aristo will be very surprising quick On the lakes runs a couple of years ago, my BPU (1.1bar) Aristo could easily match/make a little ground on a 1.2 bar BPU Supra. The Supra driver was pretty surprised that he couldn't shake me! Hopefully you have better skills behind the wheel, because you'll need them! Gaz. yep that Aristo of yours Gaz was a quick machine.

2jzhead Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Point well made. Those boost levels are fine for a quick blast!! I know they'll be running around 100% duty on the ceramics but J-specs run slightly rich anyway and I'm sure if you gave it some WOT at 1.3 bar for a good 2-3 mins all would be fine..........I hope.......for his sake HEHE never did ours any harm when setting the Boost controller up, we hit 1.4 a few times http://img86.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fridaynight065gq5.jpg definatly not good in the long run, 1.25 MAX but hey, its a supra, it can take a little abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitulparmar787 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Sorry for bringing this thread back from the past but the Aristo in question would be mine - I'd learned about this thread a while back but didn't really want to spill any details until I was 100% certain. I see there's a lot of bias for the Supra which I completely understand since it's a fab car but alot are underestimating the Aristo I'll basically have the following mods: 4" turbo back exhaust GReddy 3 row FMIC Spring/shock setup - hoping Chris Wilson may be able to sort this Fully braced (chassis, strut, lower chassis, etc) 100% Meth injection Pro EFI ECU (fingers crossed it'll be done by then) by John Reed to control boost, fuel, timing, etc All at 1.2 bar. This is going to be a charity fundraiser where people will bet how long it takes us to get from 0-100mph in seconds and in turn who's faster. So should be fun! Just thought I'd nip in and stick up for the Aristo crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firestorm Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 will you be driving the auto in Manu mode or D mode? 0-100 will be a fairly rapid thing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitulparmar787 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'll use the tiptronic on the Aristo to launch from L gear and then shift straight into D...I can't say for Mikey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Prob just a local A Road, although a drag strip or air field would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
