Stu Storm Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hi Guys, I just wanted to put a quick post up to introduce myself to the forum. I understand that i cannot advertise on the forum until i sort out a traders section with the head honcho so until then i will let you guys have a look at my supra. It has been built by myself and a good friend of mine called Ian who is a legend in the drag racing world for owning the most powerful MK2 cortina in the world powered by a ford mustang V8 (featured in historical ford.) Everything has been purchased using my own money, time etc and i use the car for work daily and it has never let me down in over a year i have been driving it in this spec! it also has carpets and a kenwood stereo The car does 25 mpg on a run which is down to the tuner tbh! I am thinking of entering the car into TOTB for the club?? What do you guys think?? I am confident the car will do rather well, but i am not sure of the surface at Elvington tbh! I dont want to get into a bhp debate but will say the car is making well over 1000rwhp on relatively low boost. I have also enclosed a pic of the car when it was on the dyno as the tuner had to source a sliencer from a 21ltr truck to quieten the car down due to its rather large exhaust! I will post up more pics next week as the front end now has a top secret bumper and there are many more mods... Cheers Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Oh, Elvo surface is not the best (old runway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Storm in Bradford? I am thinking of entering the car into TOTB for the club?? What do you guys think?? It would be nice but there are noise restrictions in place due to the clamp down at Elvington, you might struggle by the sounds of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Storm Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yep thanks for the comments guys! I am really busy all of the time and dont get to post on here as much as i would like tbh! I am hoping to change that though...... The parachute btw is fully detachable for cable and mount, so the local rozzers dont get arsy with me! We are based in Darlington approx 30 miles south of Newcastle. Any advice we can help with then please ask as we have built a number of cars for members of this forum very recently with excellent results! Cheers!

Class One Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Oh you're the chap that trashed a for sale thread by an authorised trader on here. http://http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=115332 Good start that one. (even if you did first register waaaaay back when) Trader bitching isn't a great way to be welcomed with open arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 To be fair he only posted that it wasn't them doing the builds this time :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I have added a few more pics of the motor....... The car has been built from a bare shell and the rear axle has been heat treated and then powder coated. What did you have heat treated please??

Gaz Walker Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I seem to recall a Stu @ Envy at one point or at least a connection. You might remember him as Big Sly, ex-Envy I think? Stu is currently a shareholder in Envy - when I say currently its only because I can never make contact with him to reliquish his part in the company due to breach of contract. Beware. Gaz.
