novak Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hello Everyone, My name is Peter and as probably all of you I am completely anal ( no worries got missus and two kids) with cars. I always wanted a Supra but could never find a right time or example to buy it. I joined the forum in OCT2013 and spend a lot of time reading posts........ I always wanted TT6 and nothing else, after months of failures in finding the right one I saw post fron JM Imports regarding three Supras, ready to be shipped. I contacted Jurgen and got myself a 1993 with 69k kms on the clock. Knowing Jurgen's reputation I could not resist it.....now I shall wait till end of September to see it in flesh.... I am coming from a Honda background: had two Preludes BB4, civic, and fully built Accord type R 284bhp NA - i know this bhp is a bit of laugh comparing to Supras but for four cylinder 2.2 engine with no turbo it is a very high number. Currently I drive BMW 545i V8 with 370 bhp and 500Nm of torque - great car but I have no feelings to it.... Soon new car in my hands and massive list of to do things...take care and hope to meet some of You in near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novak Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks Guys for warm welcome. Need to admit it is hard to see any Supra in NW area : ( Quick teaser.....hahahaha Anyone can tell me from the pick if by any chance, (probably not) car got bigger brakes or they look for typical jspec callipers?

I live in Hayes so about 10 mins drive however I'm always along the A40/A406 as the inlaws live in Wembley by the big IKEA so am always going that way.

novak Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Glass, Windows he said will incure further costs, plus they are not great fans of removing rear screen or windscreen as they might crack. Garage is located just by Hanger Lane - I can drop you his number or if no rush all of you can wait and see mine first. I resprayed my ATR in there and all of my friends go for any paintwork, as they do quality work. I would say they are somewhere in the middle, price wise.

hamzahkhan Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 What colour are you going for? Any idea how long it takes? Will they be able to knock a dent out here or there as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novak Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi, I am going for original 202 oxy black - obviously they will prep the car with all dings and dongs around repaired before painting. Full respray 2 weeks minimum. I would keep yours red as well, OEM colours hold value better and red with black add ons look astonishing.

hamzahkhan Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks for the info Peter. I was torn about going a bit exotic with scarlet (Deep red with hints of black) or 202 black. But the more I think about it I will just go for red as suggested with black add ons. Great minds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novak Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) OEM is OEM, and red is my second best colour. I seen red Supra with black wheels, trd black spoiler, mirrors, diffuser and it wąs a pure porn. Supra is a very unique car regarding styling , it does not require aftermarket bumpers, skirts, wings etc. Pure OEM look, nice 18 inch wheels, Carbon diffuser , 40 mm drop and it is done!
