BigMoistyturbo Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hiya just bought my first supra. It's a L reg UK spec twinturbo auto in silver with 52k on the clock and FTSH. Basically I need advice on things to look out for and places to get parts/mods from. Oh and to introduce myself my names Rob, I'm 21 and from Boston Lincolnshire, so hello everyone!

Seb Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hey Rob, welcome aboard, and may I congratulate you on your choice of car (and version ) Don't listen to anyone who uses the words 'lardy' and 'uk' in the same sentence. And trust me, there will be plenty... Hello and welcome! Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoistyturbo Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 I haven't even driven one yet! I ordered it through work (toyota) from there auto find system. I'm well excited, will be here in 3-6 days!:flame Dev I currently am running an mr2 turbo until it turns up. What's the rated bhp of a UK spec and is it different to the jap one?

BigMoistyturbo Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 Ah handle is name, furry muff. Well my handle is bigmoisty because of a certain reputation I have, which I couldn't divulge on here. And the turbo bit...well because I've run quite a few turbo's!

Seb Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Rob, to answer all your Soop based Qs, simply look for any post that has a reply from 200SX Boy (Dave), his sig is something along the lines of the most useful sig in the whole world ever. At least when it comes to Soops. Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMoistyturbo Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 Like I said before it's due to turn up in a few days. I've not physically seen it yet. To cut a long story short I'm a car sales exec for toyota. I saw this on the toyota national search system and rung the dealer. He described it to me and I had to "buy blind". I get to refuse the car if it's fucked. It's totally stock. Silver with 53k on the clock and full toyota service history..and I bought it for trade price! woo hoo!

Welcome aboard and congratulations on joining the small group of elite UK Supra owners, believe me you'll start to feel really special soon when you realise how rare we are compared to thise J-Spec clones with their budget versions Ah so that's why Toyota have been sending me emails pretending to have a car available! I registered for the finder service about a year ago and they have only started writing in the past week. So another MR2 Turbo convert eh, are you on any of the other mailing lists? MR2DC IMOC-UK MR2OC etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
