I was in the Supra . I used to have a MR2!

[omar-s]

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it all becomes clear now lol

ur car was lookin very very very nice. what type of supra is it? turbo, n/a, auto, manual?

what wheels are those? really like them.

and what happened to the sodding shell garage? lol

[JamesC]

Mine is a standard 6-speed TT. Yours was looking really nice too, looks really good in White! I'm guessing yours is a rev3 turbo? Any mods?

The wheels are Axis Penta, there's a pic in my garage

Yeah the Shell garage is shut for a couple of months . I need to go and get some now

[omar-s]

cheers mate. got a few mods. yep rev 3 turbo. engine pretty standard. got a kakimoto 3" exhaust but flexi has just started going . got some air filter on but unsure of what make as its surrounded in a carbon fibre air duct thing. enkie wheels, kie office front bumper, apparantly real toms air scoop (still not too sure on that lol), flaired and rolled front and rear wheels arches, grooved discs all round with briaded lines, cusco front and rear strut braces, cusco safety 21 6 point rollcage, some heavy as plated clutch, and a kaaz 1.5 way lsd diff. also unsure if the anti roll bars are standard or aftermarket as there white and thought standard ones where black??? think thats it. pretty sure it was a track car in japan as when it was imported it was also totally stripped out too. but its my every day car so the carpets etc have gone back in. oh got a nardi steering wheel and a crap cheep short shift from ebay which i dont like lol.

just had 4 wheel lazer alignment done last week and feels like a different car now lol. i love it.

any plans for the supra?

[JamesC]

Cool

Does the exhaust give any extra power/ raise the boost on the MR2? Yeah i couldn't be bothered with no carpets etc, i like it comfy

No plans for mine as such apart from sorting some scratches and dints out and a new boost gauge - mine is only showing 0.6 bar boost but they run 0.8 standard and i'm not sure if its just the gauge or it's actually running that

Do you ever go to the JNE meets?

[omar-s]

ummmm i think maybe a few bhp. from what ive read on hear tho a decat gives very good results so thats on my list although a heard a lot tend to crack but we shall see. so exhaust and de cat are on my list of things to buy next. want to get the engine breathing and free flowing first before i think about engine mods.

yea i go to the jne meet. do you? we can have a chat at the next one.

[JamesC]

Yeah i go to the JNE meets, i'll keep an eye out for you

[whitemr2ladyagain]

[JamesC]

Whitemare Pool Shell garage is shut for 5 weeks. Nearest is now Redheugh Bridge (I think).

Where did you get your 4 wheel alignment and what cost? Also where did you get your arches done at and how much?

Im just up the road from you at Wardley.

It cost me £52 with the discount. Im happy with it. My tracking was well out. Like a different car now. So money well spent.

Also cant give you any info on my wheel arches. They were already done when i got the car from japan. However, i got my car from www.gtschris.com up in bedlington. They have just rolled and flaired there wheel arches on there mr2 race car. Ive seen it and looks like a good jobs been done. Not sure if they did it or if they got someone else to do it but give them a ring and im sure they'll be able to help you out. There good lads.

Maybe see you around too mate?
