my current pride and joy, a 1.8 TS 156 Lusso, lovely rare colour, sounds good and goes well to for a 1.8, and a gorgeous place to sit :

my past pride and joy, that did all my track days, and the RING lovely car, noise, handling, did i mention noise, miss it so much but cost an awful lot to run in fuel alone. will get another eventually

@ Stilo: In my boy racer days I drove the uno turbo...160kW on the wheels. You remember those?

1st (By a loooooong way) Toyota supra 1989 "F" reg (mk3) in bright yellow with a TRD tuned engine (also my avitar )


and thought I'd put a quick vid on for you Just to hear

stilobarth wrote:"the noise"

(Excuse my rather overexcited brother lol)

2nd Mondeo ST24, quick but not very reliable



and 3rd My current Vauxhall (gutless) Astra lol

hahaha slightly excited

love the old supra, used to be a black one near me 3.0 turbo, very nice

saw that silver 96 SZ-R this morning and its all original apart from the exhaust, even the wheels are original

still prefer the noise my stilo made in the other thread though

Where I be finding that then? thought I'd put one from in car too you get to hear the diff whine and the lovely rumble she used to make under acceleration (oh and her going from 149999 to 150000 miles lol)


oh and go on then, one more

cool diff is noisey aint it, sort of over powering the engine in that 1st vid, which is a shame, lovely

love the second vid and that straight 6 scream, love supras, one of very few jap cars i would have

mine is here

http://www.gtdrivers.com/gtdrivers-members-f4/pictures-of-gtd-members-t380-10.htm

in car reverse cam at oulton park (front cam packed in )

then further down is a drive by and an in car accel test

i just love the 5pot sound, my fave next to v10's, just love the offbeat warble and slight high pitch scream at the top of the revs

ill have another, but there were only 200 schuis in the uk and only 50 were tuned by Prodrive labled the GP (well 49 now that mine is dead), and its that one i want again. all in good time, when im on the mrs good side and we've moved house

(fingers crossed)



and hey, only 2 more posts

very nice vids

and yeah, I had to have a good stereo in her cos of diff whine/very noisy engine (while varying speed it was ok but get on a motorway doing 70mph it sarted to get a bit monotonous) /various squeaks from the dash (she was 18 years old) lol but I REALLY wish I hadn't got rid now, but hey, hindsight is a wonderful thing and am stuck with a vaux



(P.S. (*whispers only 1 more now )

yeah can imagine, was it worn or was that another noisey TRD part.

my whole dash in my stilo started to squeek after autoglass changed my windscreen, so annoying, and my wishbones are squeeking on my alfa after i hit a curb after christmas. cars eh

even harder for you finding an unmolested supra than me fiding a decent schui i would have thought.

Yeah, they're all eitherr dead or done up that much they n longer resemble what they are supposed to be ; . Well I had the diff checked out and all was fine, it was just very very noisy lol, the only reason I had another engine put in is cos the numpty who had it before me decided to put a new sump on (fair enough, they are quite low to the ground and tend to get hit a bit lol) but instead of using gasket gum he used............SILICONE SEALANT!!! My mech said it would've been fine if left to cure for about 5 weeks but he hadn't and so 26 miles down the road no 5 and 6 pistons decided to give up cos they were getting no oil. The silicone had blocked the oil pump. So I had a choice of engines Obv choice really
