3LL Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hey guys, well I picked up my Supra today. I signed up about a week ago and posted up for some advice about the NA Auto, got lots of good answers that re assured me so I got the car I was looking at! anyways, theres still some stuff i wanna know, like how you delimit the thing, and the easiest way to get rid of the bolt of fog light, how to take off the rubber sil under the bumper, also how do you use the manual mode on an auto box! lol anyways, had the car about 8 hours but managed to take a few pics before the daylight faded.. so here she is.. http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8505/28092008516vy3.jpg http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/9978/28092008517qm5.jpg http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6660/28092008514ft9.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3LL Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Nice car. You see where it says manual mode in blue? Click that nope, thought might have something like that but i cant see it! lol i did consult the instruction book, however its japaenese! lol Wire your fog light into your rear lights Should be a " How to " post on here somewhere... Yeah found it now cheers, ill have a read soo how i do it! there are a few things im looking at doing, i dont kno how they got that far but it has stone chips on the roof, lots of little white dots, and also it gets to 115mph [im told ] and it brops back down the revs although its only at around 3700 rpm! The guy who had it was smashin bloke, and he gave me a big folder of receipts and history on the car, its been dyno'd at 246bhp, but i dont think any performance mods have been done to is aside from the exhaust! Im curious what else i can do to it to get more out of it, over time of course! thanks for the nice comments guys, looks like im gonna be in these pages for a wee' while to come!

JamesC Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Looks very tidy mate, and it already has the clear indicators and active spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Dyno'd at 246 BHP ? thats no standard N/A supra mate must have some good mods done . Also that that rubber flap as you call it under the front bumber is an active spoiler and my advice is you want to keep that rather than take it off , It may even be wired in so its active . And by the way ...... nice looking car . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Dyno'd at 246 BHP ? thats no standard N/A supra mate must have some good mods done Or the dyno has over-read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Maybe but lets not burst his bubble just yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Maybe but lets not burst his bubble just yet . Not my intention but a sense of reality may be in order. Besides, dyno figures mean nothing unless they're being compared to some other readings from the same dyno. As long as it feels quick to him, that's what matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I'm sure it does feel quick to him as even the N/A's are quick cars . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3LL Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) feels quick compared to a Corsa GSI, and £1450 which is what i traded for it. TBH I have to confess i dont know the validily of the dyno printout, i got a massive folder of paperwork with the car, everything from receipts for alarms, import, mot's, tax paperwork, exhaust paperwork etc.. a lot of the stuff goes as far back as japanese paperwork too although im not to sure what that stuff actually is! lol All i know is the prinout has the reg of the car on it and its a dyno readout. ill pop a picture on in a sec Im def not boasting bout it.. im just happy with my new motor thats all Yeah i think i may keep that aero spoiler on it too! i actually like the look of it tbh now have had a decent look around the car, the only part i DO want to sort is de restricting it, as it does feel limited once you get to 115 mph it drops down to 110mph and keeps doin it [never been in a limited car before tbh, so im assuming this is normal for a restricted ecu?] anyways, heres a snapshot of the printout, weather its real or not i dunno, its prob not, but even so.. im happy with my motor! http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/684/29092008520if0.jpg Really glad I took the advice of you guys on here and went for it, i was a bit iffy with it been an auto, but im pretty impressed overall Thanks everyone for your time and advice Edited September 29, 2008 by 3LL (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
