[Neil-NA]

For me its

 

19" + wheels

TRD spoilers

Strut braces

Superman badges

Any stickers unless its on a race car.

Strut braces

 

What's wrong with strut braces!?

They do feck all IMO.

Mine (TRD front) makes a significant difference and the difference is most noticeable on rough uneven surfaces at low speeds...typically when the road surface means the ride is quite "sharp or jarring". I had it off for about four months and when I refitted it a month ago the difference was immediately apparent.

I have talked to 2 other single turbo owners who have said the same. Cars like JamieP's show what can be done with a good amount of money and a lot of patience.

 

I'm not saying they are unreliable, but the complex nature of the ECUs that go with them mean they take a bit of setting up and a lot of gauges to keep an eye on.

 

I like my Supra to be simple, stock turbos with stock ECU, boost gauge or good boost controller and RLTC to keep it on the road.

 

I dont hate single turbo cars, I just wouldnt go that route again.

 

I see where you are coming from.

Can't find the pic but imagine a Supra with THE worst fitting fake carbon full body kit. We're talking 20mm panel gaps . Then add a lovely blue bov sticking out from the driver side air vent. Utterly horrid.

 

Thats sounds unbelievably bad. Anyone else have links/ pics of this monstrosity?

I'm pretty sure it's NOBRot's monstrosity. I'm sure someone will post a pic of the heap of sick for you.

I dislike removing airbags to fit crap steering wheels.

Had a MOMO Formula wheel fitted to my SZ-R when I bought it, and always thought Id rather have a stock wheel that wouldnt impale my face in a crash.

Having been saved from injury by an airbag before, I can testify that you really want one, and certainly should never remove it unless you have proper harnesses etc.

Or live fast and die young, which is timelessly cool.

Oh bugger, just realised I haven't got an airbag and I may be too old to live fast and die young.
