Elliot Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hehe - picked up the 'animal' yesterday - it's unbelievably quick! 95 TT auto with some nice mods. Had the previous owner turn the boost down to stock for me so I could get home in one piece in the rain! Also, the two rear tyres are bald! Was a bit 'eager' to overtake a modded Celica near where I live & slightly lost it going passed him, fishtailing (crapped myself!) Needless to say I wont be doing that again for a while - sorry Celica man! I've got a few ideas of cosmetic stuff I want done to it, but performance wise it's just what I wanted. BTW - the graphics are no longer on the car! As it's my first turbo car (God help us!) I'm going to be asking loads of noob questions in the near future. Some pics for those interested...

supradibbs Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Lovely car mate just a suggestion loose the blitz badge:) we have some lovely bomex bumpers in stock amazing quality:sly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 WSB2 - You're right, the window visor / spoiler is definitely going. I've seen posts about people wanting to buy them, and I have no idea why! I'm not too keen on the front bumper either, it's just the stock one with a notch out for the radiator. NA to TT difference? Unbelievable mate! Although it's got some tasty mods I was only running on stock boost, but it's quite scary how bloody quick it is. There's plenty of red TTs for sale recently if you're after one! Dibbs - Would a bomex accomodate the radiator as well? I can't remember where all the inlets are etc. I'll have a browse in a minute As for the Blitz badge, there's loads of stickers etc dotted around. The badge isn't the worst bit, but it probably will go, or be moved when I get the work done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Well done! Nah m8 - keep the wing! It will grow on you (if not then they are worth some dosh out there - have a word with CJ about a stock one) Also - go different on the nose to match. Bomex is not bad - but what about a Wings West or something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hold on chappies! I love the wing - it's the roof spoiler thing we were talking about (I think!) Wings West? I better check that one out too... It is Alans old car, and yes - it is quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 What I meant with the radiator was the bit cut into the original front (it's located there). Pretty much all the bodykits accomodate the intercooler! Is the Wings West just a front lip? It looks good, but I'm thinking a completely new bodykit (& colour), just not sure which though. I'm going to have a good look at some, have a good think & then come up with a list. Little bits like the numberplate black things, radio antenna etc all need sorting.

dude Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Originally posted by Elliot Hold on chappies! I love the wing !

Elliot Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 A bag?! It is a normal Supra! Just one with a slightly more pronounced spoiler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Elliot - you have a PM. Im not sure on the rear spoiler, its very different. Am I the only person would likes rear window spoilers ? (Crowd throws rotten apples at Whitelighting !!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polemarch Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I want a red TT. Where are these loads of cars? I want one ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Looks very nice mate, I don't like many of the aftermarket spoilers - but that one is actually quite nice. Elliot - What school did you go to dude?? was it one in Fareham/gosport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Better get a shift on WSB2 all the N/A crowd round here are departing for the world of modded TT's an you are gonna get left on your own. That said there seems to be a new crowd of N/A owners about in the area as well now so perhaps you could be like the kid kept back a year at school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 LOL @DB You're right though, I had to jump on the NA to TT bandwagon before I missed the boat! Red - I went to Rowner junior school, then was packed off to boarding school in Ipswich! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 as it happens im in talks bout one as we speak. But fear i may have to say no at moment due to not being able to put some spare cash in account incase i get turbo failure!! i cant risk it due to work, still weighing up the risks!!...no job...no supra keeps springing to mind!!! Only problem is this ones in newcastle, so at least i cant be tempted by the test drive...well not yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 WSB2 - Do it! You wont regret it There are some such cheap TTs at the moment, and with NA prices dropping you should jump ship while you can still get a half decent amount for yours! I suppose the next couple of months will be the best time to buy as well (traditionally it's a buyers market before xmas) BTW Folks.... I've had a look at the rear visor tonight, and taken the brackets off, but there looks like there's a long strip of double-sided tape along it holding it down! I'll have another look tomorrow in the daylight, but don't want to wreck the paintwork yet as I haven't decided when I'll get the car resprayed. If I can't get it off safely tomorrow, then it wont be for sale until the respray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spare set of turbo's kicking around and they are cheap as chips to pick up second hand anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
