Guest peter_ Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi people, Just introducing myself really. I'm lusting after a TT manual and have been looking at various build threads for a while. Are there any Supra owners round here? If so, speak up and introduce yourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peter_ Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'm live in Hemel Hempstead, work in Hatfield. I did see a black Supra on the way to Watford once. Hello and thanks for your introductions. A little more about what I'm looking for and my thoughts. My life long car dream thus far has always been to have a lotus elise with a supercharged honda engine. Nowt wrong with that, apart from the cost lol. The dampers of choice for this car are nitrons. I found out about the mk4 supra, as you can get nitrons for that too. Then I thought, ok, more power, more creature comforts, but still with the handling/ride comfort I'm looking for. Obvious it a front engined rear drive car without 4 wheel drive - all good plus points. I can even get rltc to keep it on the black stuff. and the extra weight penalty will give me more down force in the wet lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Mind if I ask what you currently drive and get some pictures of your current car up. (we all love pictures on this forum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter_ Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 ok, with some trepidation i'll tell you lol. I currently drive a Clio Trophy, but have driven my brothers elise and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I thought the Elise came with the Toyota Celica 1.8 engine and the Exige was a supercharged varient. Didn't know there were companies swapping in Honda Vtec engines and supercharging them. http://www.hondaelise.com/ Well well well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
