Muffleman Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Impreza Turbo UK Spec 1997 MR2 Turbo TT Auto Supra BPU+ TT Auto Supra Medium Single Manual Supra Impreza was okay, bit agricultural but went okay. Wouldn't rush to have another. Still have the MR2 and still enjoy driving it, they are cracking little cars I have owned many cars, but the Supra is the only car I have bought again. Of the Jap cars I have owned, the Supra is the best and for lots of reasons. The only issue I have with the Supra is how quickly it gets into licence losing speeds. I plan on owning a Lancer Evo RS fairly soon though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargo Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Lexus IS200 Supercharged - made the 2litre drive the way it should be. IS300 with 75shot of progressive nos (wizard kit) - bigger and better than the IS200, did have plans to turbo this also. Supra TT BPU -if i knew then what i know now about jap cars then this is the car i should have got in the first place instead of wasting nearly 40k.

Scott Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Nissan Almera Si (my first car) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V MR2 Rev2 Turbo MKIV TT 6spd Supra The almera was a great car. Only had a 1.4 engine in it but at the time it was the most powerful 1.4 you could buy with 96bhp lol. The Evo was great for about a fortnight then i just got bored. It had a feeling of all being too easy, it felt like i could go to sleep on the motorway at over 100 mph and wake up in my driveway without a scratch.. strange. The MR2 is a great little car, i still have it (well the wife does). I only gave it up when i got the supra. Its much nippier than a sup and it suprises a hell of a lot of cars, especially off the line. MKIV Supra has been an aim of mine ever since i got the MR2. It just feels like an upgrade. They both have their ups and downs but the luxury of the Sup means its more of a driving car than the MR2. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiceRocket Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Celica GT4 ST185 then onto Supra RZ. Never got around to a 'top speed run' in the Supra though so technically Celica's been my fastest car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
