DodgyRog Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I have just posted this in my build thread, but for those that don't bother to look at build threads _________________________________________________________________________________ Just a little update about my day collecting the Supra from Lee P (SRD) today Well we left at silly o'clock this morning and eventually got to SRD at about 10-15am Anyway on to the good bits, Lee took me through the bits that had been sorted and few things for next time and we had a general chat about the future development of my car (anyway that's being kept quiet for now) We are stood looking into the engine bay, as we do with our Supra and hear the rumble of Scott turning up for a nosey, good to see you again mate, sorry we couldn't stop longer and have a proper chat After about an hour Jen manages to get me out of SRD and into the Supra to leave, first of all I notice Lee has not only cleaned my Supra, but he has even gelled the tyres (awesomeness lol) As we drive off down the drive with the stupidly harsh speed bumps, in between them I can here a much loader whine from the Turbo's trying to spin up, this surprises me a bit, as it was not even really noticeable before Anyway eventually we get out onto the Dual Carriageway, so I drop back from Jen and ease in the power in 2nd, I notice straight away it seems to be pulling much better than I remember it ever doing before, then the 2nd Turbo rolls in and well I just loose all traction, it was wet and I just assume the tyres are still a bit cold, so I try again but in 3rd, this time it's exactly the same but I do manage to feather the throttle to gain enough traction to keep pushing. It now spins up the rears in 4th as well My Supra now feels totally different, I have no idea what was wrong with it before, Lee has done quite a lot of different bits and pieces, he said he will have a proper look over the old Turbo's when he has the chance to see if they were totally shot It is a shame I never got the chance to get any power figures before and after, the power and delivery are now totally different so I feel I have got a totally new build now I am over the moon, just need to learn how to drive it again now A huge thanks to SRD and Lee for sorting my Supra out, really can't praise him enough and Jen for driving up and back twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
