Guest madder_ali Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hi there all! Just thought it was a bout time that I posted and introduced myself. Great forum by the way, have found it very helpful already. I drove a nissan almera GTI until recently but purchased a Black Supra Rz TT about 3 weeks ago now. Love it! Though scares me at times especially in the wet (first rear wheel drive car, and what a car!) Though it has high mileage (100k + ) it has been incrediably well looked after and has a full JPS service history since coming to the uk 5 years ago. Looking to get some paintwork done (the front really needs a respray) If anyone knows any good sprayers (and cheap!) in this area would be great if you could let me know. Was thinking about getting a ful respray if I could afford it... It has been modified and externally has the full veilside kit with abflug bonnet and rear bumper. Anyways enough from me have a look at the pics! Cheers Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 First of all Very nice looking car you have there. What colour respray are you thinking off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hi mate and welcome. Nice car, any plan for it yet?? Graphics being removed etc..... Please for the love of god, with it being your first rear wheel drive car and with winter here, please please go carefull and don't let anybody goad you into any races. As you already know they have one hell of alot of power and this sometimes can be bad if not looked after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Welcome, and congratulations! As James said - If it's wet or even slightly damp and you put your foot down too much then it will fish tail, can be scary and dangerous but otherwise....it's a bloody awesome car! There's a few members from Bristol, try and have a mini meet so they can help you familiarise with the car and give you tips. Ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madder_ali Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks guys Want to keep the car black I quite like it the way it is! Yes I agree the car is dangerous, it has RTLC which is great though I dont think its quite set up right. Lost the back end in the rain the first week I had it. I was going so slow but the auto box kicked down on a roundabout and I lost it! Thankfully was quiet and was a big roundabout so no damage done. Alot more careful now, got used to using the manual gear select when wet to make the car more predictable on corners and roundabouts. Going to remove some of the gfx, wnat to keep the combat ones on the side but remove the ones in the windows, and may remove the abflug ones on the wings depending how much I get resprayed. What do you guys think I should do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I just love black supes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Looks like garbage mate Kiddin, lovely colour, i do like black supes with gold wheels on too! The kickdown on the autobox does seem to cause a lot of auto owners grief! Speak to Terminator (Phli) or Matt Harwood @ Sextons on here, they know about RLTC etc and might be able to help you out with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont want to mess that up when its so wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
