Matt H Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi all, This will be my first post so I thought I would introduce myself first (if that’s the normal procedure?!). I’m Matt (obviously!), 22 from Warrington / Knutsford (in the middle of the two!) up in the north west. I’ve been working my arse of over the past two years on a property investment so I can afford what I bought today! It’s a 96 supra (twin turbo model). Insurance is a bitch cos I’ve only just turned 22 but hey, it’s worth every penny cos I now own one of the most amazing cars every built. With just entering the world of the supra I have f*ck all knowledge about them, although I think my cars an RZ?! Its an import. Can anyone tell me what it is by looking e.g. an RZ? And specs for her, e.g. official HP (assuming the engine was standard) Are there any things to keep in mind with owning a supra like mine? probelms or maintenance requirements? Pics are below, what do you chaps think? Thanks in advance, and hello Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Nice car mate, before anyone else replys, It might be a good idea to use the search button, or the FAQ section as they have the full car specs.. 326 BHP i think Take it steady, too nice to smash.... You dont want it to look like mine, see pic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Those wheels look very familiar. Did you buy the car off one of our existing members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'd say it was a GZ cause of the leather & 4 spoke steering wheel...do you have cruise control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 ...326 BHP i think .... Good point. Weren't the JSpecs limited to 326 because of the gentlemen's agreement? In reality stock they could be 400bhp+ * It MUST be true, I've read it on the internet:eyebrows: * at the wheels, flywheel is 30% more and if auto then you need a bigger calculator:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
