franki I would love to single but im pretty happy with the twin at the moment, an as i had only a short time driving (due to the **** winter tyre rule out here) i really didnt get a chance to get bored with it ...yet.
But thing that keeps bugging me which i know you aint gonna like, is wether to de-spoiler it or not. I may even gone as far as ordering a rear diffuser.
Oh dont worry loads of pics to follow.
well your right i wouldn't approve but it's your car mate i do like some de-spoilered supra's such as RZ95's on mkiv but it could be more to do with the drag radial setup

small intercooler and hard pipe kit fitted

Then bad things happened, i was driving the san berdino pass (northern italy). when a little pop was heard followed by loads n loads of smoke, turned out id blown no1 turbo. Not a too uncommon problem though. First off i was told that i would have to get the car low loaded back to germany, but then a solution was found....

No1 turbo oil feed banjo bolt was filled with liquid metal to stop any more oil loss, pipe work for no2 disconnected, which means i get loads of engine noise a loud whistle and very little movement. An the air filter relocated saxo style straight on the air intake.
The car now sits like this as we swap over the trubos, another set already purchased and in my grubby mits for just £300.

, but thats gonna be next winter or maybe even the one after. unfortunatly my job moves me around every 3 years and im dude to move again in may. so my thing at the moment is just to get the supra up and moving again before then.

I have thought of the single route, an may have started even get a few bits together for it , but thats gonna be next winter or maybe even the one after. unfortunatly my job moves me around every 3 years and im dude to move again in may. so my thing at the moment is just to get the supra up and moving again before then.
