Radio Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Finally the episode from goblin works garage in on tonight on Quest channel 12. If you attended the night the show was filmed at the 3 sisters race course near wigan you may spot yourself. The car looked impressive but had lots of things on that you may think are not needed or won’t work or add anything to an already great car. Once the American market is on full stream maybe fast and loud might take one on with a a full engine build to match a jazzy body. Shame GWG didn’t get together with TRD. Worth a watch.

tayr Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The wing is pretty cool but I’m not sure it would be functional as anything other than a fixed spoiler. It becoming a wind break is just a gimmick really. I like the idea of the old school Japanese graphics though. Something a bit different Front wheels definitely a no from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 To be fair I quite liked the finished product. Only 2 things I disliked where the front wheels blade things and the frame for the rear wing being all exposed like that. My other thoughts of the show was the script/what they were saying, putting down the Supra in that way when it is so highly regarded. Also the ‘we’ bought it, then sold it to the club was cringe worthy and could put the club under an unwanted spotlight making out they paid for it. I think if they went for an approach like........ “we have teamed up with Supra owners club” and went down the route of collaborating for marketing and benefit of the club. But hey that’s just my opinion and what I got from the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) To start off by insulting anyone with a mkiv that is pretty much stock looking was rather poor and to repeat it even worse What was all the bullshit about buying the car then JB test driving it and pretending to buy it Sorry i'm probably too old school for this stuff but that really was awful to watch, i doubt the wheel things would pass an mot would they ? looked downright dangerous and as for the wing God knows what audience your want to steer this club to if this is the way you think it should go Edited January 24, 2020 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That 90's rounded styling, it's just super dated There are just way too many curves on this current fukker, it's like a 90's throwback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wile e coyote Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The wheel fans came straight off lol Club got a gt300 supra for no outlay The wing probably wont stay but will stay on for the year same with the graphics It certainly gets noticed which is great for the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It uses the meduza kit. I enjoyed fitting their gt300 front bumper when I done my wide arch. Car looks cool. Thanks for uploading to share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, I don’t mind the car, apart from the couple of things I mentioned, pleased those blades are gone. It is not the clubs fault, no doubt the producers would have said like it or lump it with how it was brought over on TV. I just feel they could have done it better and had a greater impact. I think GWG will have alienated a lot of people with their remarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Almost switched off after 10mins, kept watching to see the other 'squashed catfish' Supras later. Some nice cars there. If the Goblin car creates a lot of interest for the club then good luck to John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Squished fish...........really!!!! Of course they talk it down because it makes their output seem more appealing to the viewer. But yeah, good way to put the noses out of joint for the typical MK4 owner/fan. At least they gave the impression the Supra is a decent car, looks are always in the eye of the beholder regardless. I thought it was an ok show, it's format was a bit wheeler dealer predictable tbh. Good to see Branners get his 5 minutes of fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayr Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 i may be missing the point, but for a garage they subbed everything out pretty much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raddys Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Imo all that car needed was a respray and a tune up.. the body kit is not to my taste tbh, 10 year old me would have loved that in 2001 though lol But they have to make it outrageous because otherwise the show would be abit boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 God knows what audience your want to steer this club to if this is the way you think it should go The club didn't have any input into what it came out like. Like it or hate it, free mods on a car which needed something doing to it and free promotion. At the end of the day it was all a bit of fun.

SupraLEDrears Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I actually worked on the car at their workshop fitting all the lights and they were decent people. They have teams of people working in the background as they can't do everything and remember, it's a telly show, not a real garage. As Pete mentioned, the club didn't get any input of what the car looked like but as Jimmy told me, they would've had to spend a substantial amount of money to do only the engine and that wouldn't have been as appealing to watch. Yeah the turbofans aren't great looking but the wheels the car got for free after they're unbolted are beautiful IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
