Tricky-Ricky Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Don't get me wrong, although i love the Supra, now i have it almost perfect, i am reacting in the usual way, getting bored with it, its pretty quick, but i am starting to find that i want more low end/speed acceleration, i don't get the opportunity to do long motorway or good A road journeys, these days, and all my local roads are not very good, so I'm starting to feel like i would be better off with something more point and squirt quick, ie very quick from 0 to say 80-100, any suggestions, baring in mind it would need to be Supra money or less, as i would either sell the Supra or swap/px it, money my way;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Id keep the supra if i was you. Ive had a few EVO's over the years and they are good fun and good to the ton, i always get bored of them quickly though as i prefer a gt car. PS, i dont think this is a technical thread;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Haha It's easy to get bored of a car when you drive it too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Is it a daily driver or weekend car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I started to get bored of mine, and so i bought a run around and made the supra go faster to make it more of a novelty rather than a necessity. At the end of the day you are always going to want something different. Every now and again i keep thinking of trading in both cars and getting a nice sporty saloon thats more of an all rounder, but i would soon get bored of that too.

I know you're mechanically minded and will look after one... or an older 'vette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Dont do it Ricky you'll only regret it. Once you've had a Supra you'll always want another one if you dont have access to onee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooooo! i would like to be able to drive it once in a while, rather than working on it, although there are a lot of people that would argue that point;) could be tempted with an older vette, but i'm not sure i could get used to LHD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Do more track days. (if Llandow goes well I'd hope to at least another next year, maybe tour all these little decent but cheapo tracks) for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I've thought about this as well , i love the supra and its about as good looking a car as i think you can get but it seems wasted for what i use it for . I wouldnt mind a DC5 Teg or something along those lines . I know i'd regret it soon though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I got a little bored of mine and returned the interior to bone stock - no gauges, displays, beeps, buzzes etc...nothing. The fuelling was all well setup and perfect and I was only running 1.1bar so well safe on everything so no real need for the gauges. I added a TRD steering wheel, swapped my Tein top mounts for stock ones and recirculated my BOV, put the stock airbox back in and it was like driving a new car. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a vette would be an interesting point but let me throw in a curveball... Jag XKR? It's auto only but you know 4.2L 'charged makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Get a properly sorted single, mapped by a professional If i honestly thought it would make that much difference i probably would, but i spite what you or others might think, i have every confidence in my abilities:p i am also hard to please, and probably expect too much, and although i think i drive like Miss Daisy is a passenger, the last couple of people who have been passenger have welcomed the Jesus handle;) You also have to bare in mind that i was brought up on, and spent most of my life riding bikes, so cars have a lot to live up to when it comes to acceleration, from my point of view, maybe a decent Evo, although the last one of those a drove was not impressive.
