FINALLY BROUGHT HER HOME!!! I'll take some decent pics when there is some light https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I'm soooo happy and pumped up right now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif I took a bus up to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and it took me 7 hours to get there... and then took me another 4 hours to get back. Totally worth it though!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I love this car sooo much! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png The car has a lot of mods done to it and dynoed 285rwhp@10psi I will be modifying suspension and get some new rims. Oh, another cool thing is this car has only 53k original miles! I gotta give her a good bath and will take some nice pics when it's bright outside. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

congrats





this isnt by any chance 4RR's new personality?

congrats looks nice

niiiiiiiiice! I saw that car on autotrader recently and thought it would sell fast https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



welcome to the S5 T2 club! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



and btw...why did u sell a supra?

Same reason i did.

All I got was X and red one's too.

Thanks for the complements. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png





TyresmokinRx7: I don't know why... should be working.



pengaru: Who's 4RR and what do you mean by new personality?

Oh, and I sold my Supra coz of insurance and school. :( I miss her but I feel like I'm gonna love this new baby even more than my Supra https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR Can't beat lightweight cars with turbo power that handles amazingly! That's why I bought this car although maintainance is a bitch https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

Are you getting the pics as you look at the post or do I have to click on them to see pics.

Unless youre rice, that Supra had way more power and handled much better than your new car does...



As for the weight, I think the power a T78 on a Supra would make could MORE than make up for the 700lbs difference...

Pics dont work for me either...

Well, Supra handled really good but it didn't just feel nimble or tossable. I'm sure FC will outhandle my old Supra after some suspension mods. Besides, I like lighter cars. Supra was simply too heavy for me. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

weird... pics work for me. Damn crappy imagestation.com

True but some poeple like to stop and turn with their cars too. Supras are awesome for 1/4 mile and impressive dyno #'s. 700#'s is a lot of wieght.



Good luck with your new car Rookie84.

supras suck for 1/4 mile. They get high traps but run shitty times. They are more top speed cars. 70+

Have you ever driven a Supra?

Congrats on your purchase!! my favorite FC's are white ones!!!



im still waiting for a S5 decent enough for me to buy down here...i dont see it happenin...

4RR is just some jackass on the forum that kept creating new accounts because he'd mess up with some lie he was trying to pull off tricking everyone into thinking he had some badass car etc.



anyways, like I said, congrats on the car it looks like a nice one, hope you have fun and good luck https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Thanks, guys! I just dropped her off at rx7store to have AVC-R installed and tune the Microtech ECU for easier cold starts https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png It just flooded on me coz I think I didn't run her enough when I moved her from parking spot to parking spot... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif I ran her about 5 min and shut her down... I guess she didn't like it :( Since I didn't have tools to pull the spark plugs out, and I have AAA membership, I just had her towed to rx7store for them to take care of it. Thinking about tuning her for more boost so I get more power... I'll post an update on her when I get her back https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

howmuch did u pay? NIce car man

What's wrong with rx7store? I heard good things about them although they are known to take a long time to get parts.



I paid 9,500 for this baby https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I made a cardomain page just now! It's in my sig.

lol. A Supra is a VERY good track car. We have a local one that cleans up in SOLO2 and also competitively runs SOLO1.





But ah well..Must just be everyone else sucks seeing as how they cant stop or turn https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

Supras are very heavy. 700 lbs. is a lot of weight it affects braking turning... everything. Supras are not competative in Motorsports.



Here are the results from the National Runnoffs:



http://www.scca.org/amateur/solo2/national...ults/index.html





Notice no Supra wins? They make good dyno monsters. But their weight kills them. If your friend is killing at the local Autocross thats awesome that means he is an awesome driver. One of my fist Autocrosses I went to there was a guy there with his supra I watched with great interest as I love those cars. His car was so slow it was ugly. I was beating him in times and it was my first event ever. This guy had been driving for years too.



TII is a sweet tossable car that can stop on a dime and rival brand new sports cars in handling.



I like Supras a lot they are Sexy Powerful cars that freak me out every time I see one. I am a big fan of them but realize they are limited due to how much they weigh.

Jims5543: It looks like you never drove a Supra. Don't judge a car without driving it. Supras suck in autocross because of their weight. But they can rape most cars on track. Do you know of One Lap America? Andi B competed with his single turbo Supra (Vipers, Z06s, and other high end road course monsters were what he had to compete with) and he ended up with 3rd place or 5th... can't really remember but it was either 3rd or 5th. Supras are very nicely designed from factory for road racing. People only use Supras for drag racing and it's kinda sad that they're not using the car like they're supposed to. Supras turn really well and have gobs of grip. I loved my Supra because it can go fast as hell but also it can turn with the best of the group.

He came in 6th with a Dodge Neon nipping at his heals. He was pretty far behine the 1st place Z-07 winner.



Something you have to keep in mind is the cars drivers at these sort of events. Look at the Lamborghini Diablo, it did terrible. Are you telling me a that Lambo is slower than a Viper? Its the driver. Andi B in the Supra is an awesome driver to hang with those other world class cars. But, obviuosly the drivers of some of those cars are hindering them.



I would be nervous racing against a Supra in a road course setting. I have not driven one and I am purely forming my opinion based on the Supras I have seen at Autocrosses.



Unfortunatly I have not seen one at an open track day yet. So I cannot form an opinion of them in that venue yet unless I carry over what I have seen in an Autocross.



I cannot imagine one outhandling MY RX-7 in the turns. And I am pretty sure I can give one a good run in the straights too. I am thinking my exit speed from a turn will help make up for any raw HP deficit I might have.



I respect the Supra as an awsome car I cannot express that enough. I think they have great body styles and the power plant is an engineering marvel. Quite honestly thoug I think their eccessive weight hinders them from being front runners.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif



Theres just no point. Youre going to believe what you want to.









Youre right. A Supra is no match for your 320hp RX-7. Youll stop faster with your smaller brakes, youll turn faster with your inferior chasis dynamics, and youll have much greater exit speed given the lack of low down torque compared to the Supra.

I was running down M-5's and C-5's at my last open track day. At the time I only had 225RWHP. I could not pass them in the straights they were only slightly faster. But in the turns I was all over them. My car is close to 1000 lbs lighter than both those cars. 1000 Lbs!! That is a lot of weight.



The new Lotus Elise will weigh less than 1800 lbs and have 190 HP and will run low 12 second 1/4 miles I think maybe 11's. It will own most anything on the road.

Pleas explain to me why my Chassis is inferior? And why my brakes are so inadequet?



I guess we will have to agree to disagree. LOL!!



I worked very hard to get my TII down to 2600 lbs. I am now on a tear to get it down to 2400 lbs. If you think that is not an advantage fine.



One last time:



I love the Supra and would love to own one I am just having too much fun with my 7 right now.

supra's are a modern day muscle car, the only motorsports they do well in, is when they are in completely modified tube frame chassis, in the stock body they are pigs.



btw jims 320 whp also has 318 lb of torque, so where is this lack of torque you are speaking of??? know your ****, then speak, and don't be a dick just because you think we are all close minded.



btw, in my 2nd autox outing, still in novice class, i beat a 93 tt supra that had modified suspension, running slicks, by 6 seconds on a 35 second corse. Torque didn't do **** for that guy. I have links if you'd like.



last time i remeber the only time you need gobs of torque is when you have a huge fat ass following you around everywhere, I stick to my rev happy perfectly balaced sports car, and nothing about your 3500 lb 300-500 hp car will change my mind.



ps ky sucks

i really want a white t2. if only i didnt have to repaint the engine bay for a complete color change it'd definitely be white after the next paint job.



kevin.

When its clean I like my Black TII a lot. BUT it is a PITA to keep clean. All I have to do is look at it and it gets dirty.



I love white TII's also I am especially liking them now that I have been looking at body kits. Plus white cars photograph better.

ive had a black, dark green, red, and now a lime green and another dark green car.



dark green doesnt look dirty until it gets dusty kind of dirty, black is always dirty, and my red seems hard to tell its dirty till i look close enough but then again the car is like 3 different shades of red.



my sister's had 2 white cars and when they do egt dirty, they are ugly.



kevin.

Obviously, mazdadrifter, you never drove a Supra. Like I said, do not judge a car until you get to drive one. Supras are known to be fast only in straight lines because the god damn owners who only drag race. Supra's stock brakes are awesome. They can stop on dime. They are penalized in weight, but they have gobs of grip to make up for it. It won't be that fast in auto-X or tight track(esp with the laggy big-ass single turbos most modded Supras run), but on high speed tracks, Supras will rip most cars a new ones https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Drive one if you have a chance-properly modified one that is. Not with some Supra with 800rwhp, stock suspension, stock brakes, and tire sizes that are only good for drag racing. I only had springs, shocks, and upgraded brake pads on my ex-Supra, but it turned amazingly well. In stock trim, they are kinda on soft side but they still turn well and stop in incredibly short distance.



Sorry if I sound kinda mean. I used to own one and I love Supras to death. They are amazing machines. So when someone offends Supras although they never drove one or don't really know what they're capable of, I tend to get overly deffensive.

Now that I think about it... holy hijacked thread batman!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

any decently modified car will handle better than stock. I just love it when people compare 13 yo cars with stock suspension and a boost controller, to 6 yo 30,000$ cars with 10k invested. Just the fact that they are being compared is proof that the 7 is a better car. Give me 30k and I'll show you a 7 that will out-do your tank in any way shape and form. except for curb weight

looks like mine

agreed

YOUR SIG IS WAYYYYYYY TOO ******* LONG





there is a garage option for this reason!

Dude... stop being ignorant... I know you love your 7 but both cars have their own strengths and weakness. But you're just being ignorant here saying Supras suck. They don't suck and they're great cars. Now, I'll stop responding to this "Supras suck! They're only dyno queens!" comments so stop hijacking my thread. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683517.gif

he does have a point tho about how they get compared to 13 year old cars and still lose in some categories.



i have mucho respect for the 2jz's capabilities, and i think the mk iv supras are pretty nice, pretty chunky, but still nice.



also can someone explain WHY people put widebody kits on a supra? they're wide as hell stock.



kevni.
