Pixelfill Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Riversway Preston heading towards Strand Road by the old Datel building on the docks. Black with Gold logos about 11:30am today, I waved, but doubt you saw me as I was in my Fiesta coming the other way to turn onto the docks. Looked Nice from what I saw.

Pixelfill Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Damn, that means there are at least 3 of us Black 'uns in Preston area. I'm sure someone said these Supra's were rare I'm waiting for the "Was it you" about me, I've had the car a month now, and no-one on here's seen her . (Apart from Stu_Fraser - who was the previous RK and Kev at Envy on the day I picked her up.) Keep your eyes peeled mate Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez_p Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 just noticed on your garage Mike that you have the SARD R2D2 how do you find it? i've got the Blitz SuperSound at the mo and it doesn't seem that loud to me & i don't hear it that often do you find the same with us having autos or do you hear it all the time between gear changes etc? i only really hear it when i accelerate and lift off as opposed to accelerate & change gear as i'm used to with a manual thinking of swapping to the R2D2 so would appreciate your opinion cheers, Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few silvers and a red but no black, oh yeah and a gunmetal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 i only really hear it when i accelerate and lift off as opposed to accelerate & change gear as i'm used to with a manual Yeah same for me really, only really notice it when I lift off at high boost, I guess the auto box shifts at quite low boost, and if I'm giving it WOT then all I hear is the engine . Not really played with manual mode, so maybe if you had more control over when the gear change occurs you could control the "volume" if you wanted. Cant say ive ever seen a black one in Preston yet. Seen a few silvers and a red but no black, oh yeah and a gunmetal as well. A couple of years back there was a black one parked on Blackpool Road most nights, and I saw an MSB a while back, on Garstang / North Road - end of Aqueduct street, other than that the Silver in Warton, and I've seen toby_g around once or twice. Still not seen you about either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 same as in it isn't particularly loud even when you do hear it? You can definitely hear it when lifting off at high boost, not sure whether it is louder than stock, or any other BoV. I bought the car with the SARD already on. gaz isn't allowed out much anymore ROFL Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 The last i heard on the NOS situation you were trying to keep your credit card in your wallet to stop you buying some. Have you given in and got some? Yeah the picture made it. Quite ironic really we spend all day finding scenic spots to take nice pictures and get loads, get lost on the way home and while parked on a motorway bridge we happen to take a quick snap and thatst the one that made it in. Typical. One of Dales as we were driving along also made it in so well chuffed. Dont know yet where it will be in the calender, not sure if it will get a month or not, it may just be used in a collage somewhere but even so its pretty cool. I think our 2 cars are the front 2 as well if i remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
