Greetings from Belgium everybody .
I have been following this forum way before my Supra got delivered, but I finally managed to free up some time to register myself and provide all of you an introduction and what has already been going on with my Supra MKV.
I am going to divide it all over several posts (else it will be one huge first post):
* Introduction & getting the Supra
* Already driving it as she should + official supra presentation event
* Time for already engine mods
Brief car History
The first car I owned was at the age of 19: Toyota Celica T18 STi
After 4 years, I sold the car and bought a Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T. Which was customized for drifting.
Unfortunately after a couple of years, I had an accident which totalled the car (rainy day, slick tires and there went the back of the car on the highway).
A few years went by and then it was time for my third sportscar (which I still own): a Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R.
My R33 GT-R
I already own this car now for around 5 years and keeping it in very mint condition
In 2016, I started joining the yearly GT-Driveout weekends of Wheeltorque.eu
The yearly weekends of driving always end at the track. So in 2016, I drove it on Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
2017 and 2018: Dijon-Prenois racetrack in France
Why I went for the Supra MKV
As the years passed, my R33 GT-R got older, needed more maintenance and sky-rocketed in value.
At the same time, my current company car was around 2.5 years old... so I was already looking out to buy a new one.
As next car, I wanted a car that could be used as a daily driver but at the same time could do a few track days a year (and drive it back home afterwards). Conclusion: Yes I went for the Supra as it looked that I got both these things (luxury inside, but still capable enough to handle on the track).
The day she arrived at the dealer
On the 6th of August 2019, the Supra finally arrived at the dealership (made a reservation in november 2018).
I got the last of the 75 that were foreseen in Belgium.
The long wait of the license plate
Unfortunately as it is Belgium... holiday period means crappy service from the government.
I had to wait untill the 28th of August to get my personalised license plates
But hell... was it worth the wait:
