preston7 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi, I've just bought my first supra from a member of this site. It's a near standard na manual and is already looking like it's going to the only decent car I have ever bought. I have a bad habbit of getting carried away when I see a car I love so have been ripped off a few times but thanks to your buyers guide, the warnings about keighley preformance centre and the care of the previouse owner I have finally bought a decent car, so thanks already!

preston7 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm actually in blackburn, preston is my surname/nickname, are you from the preston area then neil? the car is the one for sale from ooholyoak http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?238114-Manual-N-A-Supra I'm not sore which direction to go in now though, part of me wants to keep it fairly standard but I think it will be getting at least a set of 18"s, brembo 4pots (I have had a pair for a while) and at some point a tt conversion.

tomgeer Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Looks like a good un', nice car, keep it stock IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preston7 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Where in the forum would a what wheel question go? I want some concaved 18"s but after buing the car can't afford a set of proper jap wheels such as TE37's even the rotas would be a stretch, i'm liking the torque drifts though becouse of the concave centre look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preston7 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I know what you meen tomgeer i'm already fighting my conscience, thing is i liked the car because it was nearly standard and i did originally intend to keep it like that but I cant help thinking that from some angles the wheels look lost in the arches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Looks to be a nice example. Glad you got a member's car. Depends what the "wheel question" is. If it's to see if the wheels will fit or if they'll look good (photoshop maybe) on a Supra then whack it in Supra Chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preston7 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks everyone, as for the wheels I kind of always intended on getting some TTE's with wide rears on almost as soon as I got a supra, but now I have bought one I now know how hard they are to find, so that plan is abandoned unless some come along before I find something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Car looks nice and stock. First thing i would be doing is the stubby aerial conversion, i forgot how big the stock aerials are haha. Looks like a remote controlled car when the aerials fully engaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
