Default Another new member and his car

Ok, this is one of my cars. Well, actually, the only one worth mentioning.






My new Garrett GT42 800HP turbo waiting to go in


This is what the interior looked like when it came from Japan.

It had an Alpine GPS Navigation system and a 7" Panasonic LCD. All gone now and reverted back to stock.

And here is some stunt work here from my Chiuhauha (spelling???) X Jack Russel being performed on the Supra


It's still pretty much stock because I just recently imported it from Japan and I wanted a car in good condition with minimal mods. As you can probably also see, it's an Auto, so whatever your comments re: this Supra being and Auto please keep them to yourself, I've heard them all and I'm happy with the car.

So far the car has an Apexi GT Spec exhaust, K&N Pod filter with alluminium surround (heat shield), and 17" Works Equip wheels with 245/45/17 tyres on the front and 275/40/17 on the rear.

Waiting in the wings and ready to be installed are a GReddy BCC to remove the boost cut and an APEXi RSM + G-sensor to get rid of the speed/fuel cut.... after these are installed I'll get her tuned up a bit and DYNOed to see how she's going.

The just the start of it though, but I think I'll be leaving the looks till last till she's got the go to match the show.

Sorry for the long post, but what do you guys think?

Clean ride. Props. Just to let you know, in your signature they misspelled *sayanora*.

Thanks guys for the warm welcome and the nice comments.

I spelled "SYONARA" that way so that it fits on my number plate (max 7 alpha num chars here in Australia)

Although the exhaust is HUGE it does not look out of proportion to the rest of the car and is only slightly louder than the stock exhaust. It uses 95mm piping so there'd be pretty much no point going with a smaller tip

So you like the Chiuahuha? Yeah, he's pretty cute and because of that shot he's also become a bit of an inside joke with me and my friends. AND, "No!" before anyone asks, he won't fit in the exhaust, believe me I tried

Again, thanks for the warm welcome.



P.S. I removed my sig until I have a chance to resize it to "regulation" specs, thanks for the heads up TT

I would agree if this was a Nova, but, believe it or not, the 'fart pipe' is beneficial!

Like I said, the fart pipe actualy looks proportionate to the body of the car. If you'vr ever seen a Supra up close and personal from behind while in another car you'll soon realise how bulbous it reeally is and the stock tip does not do it justice. It actually looks out of proportion.

Anyway, as you guys already know, the "fart pipe" is not just for show unlike some other cars with similar mod

the only way a dog will fit in my bumper is for me to runover it.
