Bailey. Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Since going single, and taking the Mrs for a drive in the car, she no longer wants to go out in it, she says its noisey(TRD gear box mount) and she says it sounds like its going to blow up( screamer pipe)! lol Has anyone else had or got this problem with there partners? Ive had lots of fast cars in the past and even when the supra was bpu no problems what so ever. Im sure she will warm to it, she is pretty reluctant to step foot in it:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 That's why I've kept the car with 3" exhaust. Plumbed the scream to the exhaust and no BOV. I liked my Supra at BPU, I just wanted more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Don't have a problem with the missus and the car, my problem is with the missus and spending money and credit cards she tries to hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 As soon as it became silly mods my mrs hated mine. Now I am a little more sedate with quite exhaust, plumbed in waste gates and nice light twin plate I'm hoping she will be fine. She only drives it to get it cleaned for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 My other half says to me "as long as you feel you're in control, I trust you - because I know you won't do anything stupid". Of course, stupid is relative So she's been party to many "socially irresponsible" behaviours while in my car and hasn't given me any grief at all. I think I'm pretty lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 No problems... she in fact was the one who said that the Nur Spec R isn't loud at all and that she wouldn't say anything against it being a little louder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 As I said she has been in many fast cars, loud cars, and she knows I wouldn't put her at risk, all I gave it was a bit of 3rd and rev'd it out in 4th, and that was it, I think I may drug her and duck tape her to the passenger seat and drive flat out and maybe that will cure her fear???!!

GazB Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I think the removal of carpets, new bucket seats and 3" harness straps has something to do with my mrs reluctance to go anywhere in the car let alone drive it!!! In the merc i can cruise at high speeds and she never bats an eyelid and even does the same herself when driving it When i suggested a euro trip she agreed, me in the supra and her in the merc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Maybe it is a bucket seat and harness thing, but my wife has never been in the car and refuses point blank to be interested. The only time it gets mentioned is when she wants something......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 My misses prefers my old silver Supra now its gone, now the black ones here she hates it. I did convert it to manual so she couldn't drive it though (auto only licence) hehe. Come to think of it, she doesn't mind the car, its the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This is a must see if you haven't already. There are other versions, one with subtitles but you don't need them. Enjoy! AtxaIkwsiRU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Mine doesn't mind it. I am trying to save for a house and all my money's going on BPU stuff. She doesn't say anything but I know she doesn't like it. Wait till I buy the BBS LMs without telling her. Pam's going to be sore again!
