CBR Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Jamie congrats on the new supra mate! Sure it will be mint when SRD is done with it. How is the GTR compared to the supra if you dont mind me asking? Is is a lot more expensive for maintenance? Sometimes I think about making the change to a more modern gt/sportscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think about making the change to a more modern gt/sportscar Honestly, GTR is in another league imo, comfort/speed is usability is way ahead, maintenance isnt much more I don’t think, brake disc are expensive but then other things are cheap, 16 plate clutch in my GTR was £300. I still love Supras but for the same reason I love my cosworth really, nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leelbuk Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Welcome back! What a transformation already. Has come out well after just a good clean, a set of weels and the front lip! Definitely need rid of my do-luck front and to go back to stock. Look forward to seeing how this project turns out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim, I didn’t think I’d get another tbh as prices are generally high now, but this popped up at a price I was happy with and I love project. I was so excited to clean it up.
