Test drive on Saturday

[Rocksandblues]

The Eurotunnel is immense.

You drive on.

Sit inside your car INSIDE A TRAIN and then you're in France.

I don't believe it. Think the Euro tunnel is fiction like Leprechauns!

As an Irish man I find this highly offensive to my Mother and Father.

Just had an email from dealership and the new demo car should be in end of April beginning of May. So all being well I'll be picking the car up in next 2-3 weeks. Can't wait.

Then the next thing is lowering springs and spacers first or mst intake

Just had the phone call and the car will be ready for collection on Saturday. This is going to be the longest week ever

Nice one mate, been lurking for a while on here and in 10 month of owning my Supra i have only seen 1 other (Yellow 2L) in Hove about a month a go.

I live in Steyning so looking forward to flashing you one day!

Cheers mate, oh nice not far then. I'm just by Worthing. Same here only seen a yellow and that's it, i can see why they get so much attention when you hardly see any.

I've never had a car get so much nice attention, a couple of virgin road diggers sneered about it being a BMW which i laughed off and once whilst gentle parking up, a drunk bloke outside a kebab house shouted at me to advise 'its not a Ferrari mate"

But the amounts of people just stopping dead on the drive to view or asking me about it is insane compared with other cars I've had.

I came from a Golf R and a 911 before that, and whilst it was more than competent and would probably out handle the Supra, it was boring and too planted. The Supra puts a smile on your face, pulls sweetly, and loose back end which puts a tinkle in ya winkle! And that's just a stock, not done anything yet!

Haha thats good to hear, I'm expecting the odd BMW comment but it is what it is. I've already starter looking in to aftermarket and going down the rabbit hole but only gone with ams wind buffeting kit at the moment. I was going to look at going to srd as only in burgess Hill.

Car customising has passed me by at my age, but depending on how long i keep the car i'd consider a Stage 1, Black Gloss mirror caps (although the price seems mental but being matt plastic is a cheap looking bugbear!) and either changing the wheels, or refurbing them to plain black or a dark bronze.

Picked her up this morning and couldn't be happier, my son absolutely loves it aswell. Forgot how quick this car feels. Did have some back end wiggle when I floored it, im assuming some better tyres will fix this?

I've got ams wind buffeting kit to go on, some 20mm eibach springs. Still not sure what size spacers to go with.

Happy to be part of the club now and hopefully get to some events in near future

Up the tires to something wider like 285-295/35/19's. As for spacers, 13/15mm is the way to go.

Whats a good tyre to go for?

I was looking at 13/15mm

How much power are you planning on putting through the car will impact which tires you should be looking at. If you’re looking at a year round daily including potential snow and ice I’d say the continental DWS

I checked my date of registration on the car and it was down as march 21 so I believe the ecu is tunable? If so I will be getting a stage 1 maybe stage 2 depending how much pissing about it is at mot time

Michelin, Continental, Toyo, or Nitto. Idk, personally me, i'd go continental extreme contact sports because they're like the michelin ps4s, just more quieter in terms of road noise. I like comfort lol
