Johnny176 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hello Folks! As of yesterday im now the proud owner of a twin turbo manual RZ supra :-D I have driven a EP3 Type R for 2 years and needed a change. Its a fair bit different than the high revving needed for VTEC and im loving the feel of boost :-D Its got an HKS air filter, a kakitomo exhaust with wiffbitz decat pipes and a 1 bar restrictor ring. A blitz ssqv dump valve, an HKS front mounted intercooler, a turbo timer and an HKS evc3 boost controller which I have no idea how to operate lol (any help or pointers in the direction if an instruction manual would be great ) Feeling pretty awesome these days and taking it easy for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Nice car, not a fan of the veilside kit on the car do you intend to swap it or do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny176 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks guys. I've no plans for it as yet, still getting used to the 'different' driving style. Its great getting so much power at 2k rpm compared to 5800 to go anywhere in the civic. Im taking it easy for now as its been icy / raining the past few days and id hate to hit a tree :o I guess my only real plan for now is getting my head under the bonet and seeing how it all works, I've never had a car with a turbo before nevermind 2 lol and im curious as to what everything is and does Actually I quite like the veilside kit, I think its the crazy front bumper that looks pretty sweet. My civic wasn't lowered yet I still had to take it real easy on ramps and speed bumps, this is slightly lower again so I might be reduced to a crawl as grinding would be bad... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 some people arnt a fan of the veilside kit but i think your car looks great mate looks really tidy aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Welcome Johnny where in Antrim are you from mate? Where did you buy it from - did you have to go across to the mainland to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny176 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks tkddav3, to be fair the previous owner had taken really good care of it and had it garaged almost all the time. This along with a respray about a year or so ago probably helped lol Cheers Jim, I'm just outside Moira so probably closer to Lisburn than Antrim. Yea a trip to the mainland was required, couldn't find any to my liking really in NI. Bought it from a guy outside Bristol and got it shipped back.

jim Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'm not that far from you then bud, I'm from donaghadee. Keep an eye on the Ireland section for local meets, although it'll be a few months before we next get together. Colin and Marty at SSI (supra specialists Ireland) at loanends (near the int airport) are great for any work or advice if needed bud.
