Poshmalc Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi Guys, I'm sure you've come across our previous thread regarding the JP Magazine Supra feature, where we're looking to compare the differences and alternatives to the factory Twin Turbo Supra. Problem is, I haven't had any replies regarding V8 converted Sups and it would be great to get one on board for the feature. If anyone has or knows of anyone that has carried out the conversion and wants to grab a little magazine fame, then please get in touch and we'll see what we can do. Cheers guys, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 What happened to the Thor one? Also, Whifbitz recently sold one, so Paul might be able to put you in touch with the new owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulley Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Fearless has done an awesome Lexus v8 twin turbo conversion And he's an awesome bloke to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Fearless has done an awesome Lexus v8 twin turbo conversion And he's an awesome bloke to boot This And he does all his own work, but he is bit busy at the moment, he might enjoy the distraction at the moment though if he can sort the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poshmalc Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Doesn't sound like a 'budget' option though haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Don't really think Supra's are budget cars! There "cheaper" to buy now, But its the parts and conversions that aren't cheap. A decent TT to single conversion is nearer £10k. If people are doing conversions they often use quality parts which are not cheap. I know a lot of the NA-T guys do things to a budget. Which is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Isn't there a member with a V8 dual exit exhausts. Can't remember much, except its red. The name 'sideexitsupra' is in my head. Maybe I saw it somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Matty_L has the Whifbitz V8 Supra now http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?292729-Hello-%29 Think Sideexitsupra has a TT6? supraturbochris was doing a V8 conversion and was suggested to try a side exit exhaust.

nellie1966 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi Poshmalc, I have a V8 Supra Aero top, i cant take the credit for fitting it, as i bought it already done, but your welcome to feature it. Nellie. As Delboy says it was straightsix's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poshmalc Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Great news, it's not so much a single feature as a group shoot! We're looking at alternatives to the factory TT and the V8 is obviously one of them. Can you get to Bruntingthorpe, get time off work etc. We will hopefully be announcing a date next week!

nellie1966 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Should be ok, let me know what date. Not to far from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
