Guest tubbyandy Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hellooooo! Im Andy from Lancaster and i dont yet own a Supra (dont evict me yet! ). I currently drive a turbocharged Honda CRX but have always loved supras and have decided to use my CRX as a track car. This gives me the chance to start looking for my next car, obviously a Supra!!! I'll be picking your brains and doing some serious research over the next few weeks and hopefully be joining the club properly VERY soon!!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Welcome Alone Andy! A refreshingly well written first post! Any pictures of this Honda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Welcome Andy, the search button will be of great use to you for most things you want to know more about, Also in the 'Technical' section there are loads of guides and info you might find helpfull. As said any pics and more info of the CRX, ive always liked them and was going to buy one before i had my celica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tubbyandy Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 A few cheeky ones from JAE 2008!! Opinions more than welcome. I've spent the last 6 years building it, ive done everything but the mapping myself including a fully forged engine build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Very nice mate, do you have any closer engine bay shots? Also have you run it down the strip? If so what times was it making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tubbyandy Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) I'll see if i can get some better engine bay pics off my camera as this ones alittle old. Gives you a good idea though. No i havent yet, i work in the airforce (saw a couple of you lot at our track days RAF Marham) though so have had some airfield drag action haha. I wouldnt like to guess what it'd be though EDIT- found one Edited January 1, 2009 by tubbyandy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Blimey, bet that flys a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Dont the CRX's only weigh just over a ton? so you have around 340bhp per ton, bet thats fun to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 welcome, very nice crx. off for building that over six years yourself, done a lovely job, I have driven the standard car, was lots of fun, I bet this is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tubbyandy Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It weighs 1080 standard but ive done a bit of weight saving so who knows. Ye it can be a bit of a handful but thats the fun of it, it definately suprises people!! I want something powerful and sporty again but that i could take further than the CRX, think i'll be looking for a tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Good choice mate, keep us posted, i for one would like to see what youd do to a Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Welcome. Very impressive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tubbyandy Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I want to do some research before i start messing with one really. After years of tuning Hondas it like a completely different animal and i dont want to waste thousands on rushed dicisions (sp). Im sure i'll get there though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Welcome to the club Andy Always loved CRX's I had 2 of the earlier model many years back, great little cars. Have a search around the forum there is everything you could ever want to know on here. FAQ section would be a good place to start and the project build section.

steady_dave Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Very nice mate. I was looking at a 1.6 Vtec Del Sol before I decided it was time to get a Supra, really nice cars, and quick standard (160BHP standard). Bet yours has a bit of poke in it!

Guest tubbyandy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Got some insurance quotes and a BPU import TT 6speed will be cheaper than my sol turbo!! That just confirms im doing the right thing. Also had a search for MPG and its not too bad (27ish on motorway drives). Also decided i want a white, 6spd manual Jspec TT. Now i need to sell my sol and get one haha. Anyone want a Honda????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
