GeordieSteve Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Y'elo! Ok I'm a Newby from Gateshead so thought I'd open with some pics of the new motor. Picked her up on Thursday and well happy with her. Gets plenty of attention but not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing at the mo Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Pic 5 btw the insurance is a LOT cheaper than it was on my Calibra Turbo!

MR.B Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hi Steve - welcome to the board. Car looks great mate - but you seem to have lost your spoiler. Btw - I used to have a Calibra Turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usman786 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Yeah. it looks ugly without that wicked spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.B Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Wouldn't say that it looks ugly. It's just like having Jordan without the baps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 To be honest I prefer it without the spoiler! Didn't think I would but I do. Lol Mr B did you Cali Turbo blow up as often as mine? 2 engines in 6 weeks Paul mate, where you living now? We should meet up. btw you know any good plastic welders coz I've just buggered my front bumper (((((((((( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Originally posted by MR.B Wouldn't say that it looks ugly. It's just like having Jordan without the baps. Interesting way of putting it! Hi Steve, car looks great, no doubt see you at a few meets this year. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.B Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Originally posted by Gaz Walker Interesting way of putting it! Thanks Gaz. Steve - 2 engines in 6 months Cam belt went on mine (due to a ceased water pump) bye,bye valves - DOH! Apart from that and the fact I popped the fuse out to run it in 2WD (I was scared of the transfer box going!) no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 In 6 weeks mine cost 7k!!! I got rid of it and it STILL had dodgy piston rings and sump problems! Fingers crossed the Supra will be more reliable. Still like my Cali's tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hi Steve, i still live in Felling, Rectory Road East. Havn't moved out yet, prefer my cars lol What do you think of the performance of the Supra? Is your a manual or a Auto? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 I literally live around the corner from you but never seen your blue supra :S Performance is good. I went automatic. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not but I love it. Very nice. FAR smoother than my cali. Are there many phase kits available for the TT? Tempted by a few extra horsies but I'm new to Supras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splurge Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 What are those wheels? They look top banana. (Welcome, by the way!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 Not 100% mate. I know they're Wrest but that's all I know. Garage put em on for £500 brand new and they're 18's... bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Where did you buy the car from mate, nice wheels Exhaust, de-cat, induction kit & restrictor ring will give around 400bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 Vine Place pal. Seems like a decent place for imports. BLIMEY! That's a huge amount of BHP for little work! How much bhp u putting out now? Must be a good amount being UK spec u lucky git! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Nice looking car.... good choice of colour !! The supra looks completely different without the rear spoiler. I think it looks ok to be honest. Have you seen a wide-body supra without spoiler, they look really cool. Maybe a thought for future modification? p.s. get yourself along to the 'Lake district meet up' on 3rd and 4th of July if you can, its just the other side of the mountains from where you are.
