tooquicktostop Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Well she is home and I could not be happier with it, Drove back from Southampton to Essex, in a TT for the first time (yep only ever owned single turbos), pulls very well and I am amazed how quiet a stock car is, had to look at the rev gauge a few times when stuck in traffic to see if it was running!! The heater is still giving a little heat so all my not be lost with the matrix and the stone chips will need some attention to make it mint, a wheel refurb is on the cards to The car will need a SMIC with the cam belt service as the one fitted is original and knackered, but all in I think I have done OK with this one , just need to give it a good clean tomorrow, Matt at AFR will hopefully get all this sorted when he opens in Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Glad to hear it wasn't a pup Dean. So what's the stock 4000 2nd turbo surge like? I was really impressed today, as you know I have never driven a TT before, went straight into Singles, the stock TT is very quiet and smooth, I was very excited to get back in a Supra again after the year I have had with them, put it away now until Jan when I will let Matt's team at AFR give it a service, cam belt, Heater Matrix sorted and a SMIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
