Glad you had a safe journey Luc, the car is looking very clean considering the miles you've done. I'm also seeing far too much white in that workshop, I think Lee's OCD has him working on cars in colour order! :D

 

Cheers Steve. It was a great day with very good weather for the drive up.

 

You're right ... time to get those white Supra's out of there ... time for the black and silver one's ;)

I found some old and recent engine bay pics on my computer. Had a good smile when looking at them.

In 2010, the turbo was replaced by a BW 91-79 unit. It made 626 bhp on SRR at 1.5 bar of boost

Wow Luc the car really has changed over the years I suppose that's the sensible way upping the power in small increments and gradually getting used to it. I bet it's been a fun journey from bpu :D

 

Well .. to be honest Kaan, I never would have imagined driving a 900bhp Supra one day.

 

The fact that I went from 330bhp to 430bhp, then to 500bhp, 630bhp, 700+bhp and currently 800+bhp is the best way I could have imagined upping the power. The fact that I had small power increases each time made me get used to the car progressively.

 

Even after 16 years of ownership, my Supra still puts a massive smile on my face everytime I get behind the wheel.

 

It has almost triple the power it had in the beginning ... thinking about that is simply crazy :D :d

Epic progression! Car has come a long way!

 

Glad it's still bringing a smile to your face!:)

 

Cheers mate. Oh yes it does. :)

 

The first time I saw one was in a local Toyota Garage : it was a silver 6 speed targa roof. This was in 1993 and I was 18 years old. I told my mum that I would get one one day. She was :shock::faint: when I came home with my Supra in 1998 :D :d
