COCKPITWAkOSUP Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Big thanks to Lee at SRD for jumping om my new car and giving it the once over.Good news is that I have a nice solid car with some very nice bits. A few tidying up jobs which Lee is doing then collect Saturday and see what Supra's are about! I will see how I get on then decide how far I want to go with it and future tuning.

Chris Bailey Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Good to hear its in good shape, you're in good hands at SRD. They are the best in the supra business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 For those of you who haven't seen his other thread, this is the car he's bought: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?337836-Hi-I-Have-No-Idea-What-I-have-Bought-Lol Looks very nice, and it's in good hands with SRD. Very nice track / fast road spec car. First thing I'd look to do is swap the ancient Trust turbo with a newer Garrett or Precision turbo and get it mapped accordingly. (a Garrett GTX3582R will make the same power, while spooling up MUCH faster than the greddy turbo currently fitted). Quite a similar spec to my old single turbo car in a lot of ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COCKPITWAkOSUP Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Yep Lee has explined some options available to improve the car. I will see how I get on and see which way we go, Lee has been very thorough and is sorting some initial niggles which will make owning the car better from the start. He's driven it and was complimentary of the drive so good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 No doubt. The suspension, diff and brakes will make it a very capable car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COCKPITWAkOSUP Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Yes the Brakes diff and suspension will definitely give it a head start in the handling department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzzyuzzy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) I was at SRD this morning and saw some lovely examples being worked on but your car was hidden somewhere safe. Would have been nice to see this beast. By the way I'm still keen on your spoiler if you wish to sell.

COCKPITWAkOSUP Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 It's Home, BIG thanks t Lee at SRD for giving it the once over and sorting a few bits out! It was a very greasy drive home and any amount of boost in the cold damp conditions provoked instant wheel spin I was surprised at the lightness and precision of the overall feel and steering as I expected the car to feel a lot heavier! It's now had a good clean and is in amazing condition for a 17 year old car! There is life after the R34 and at a fraction of the cost ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Congratulations on your purchase. Looks like you were lucky buying it blinds, could have been an expensive mistake. A more track focus look great in red, but I would be losing the big white sticker off the back. Unless your getting some sort of royalties acting as a mobile bilboard Enjoy.
