Bastard, bastard, bastard.

Just when I'd got to the point where I was pretty confident that the Four could paste the Two, you replace it.....

Sounds good. No pics, no mod.

[JamesG]

[BrianTheYank]

You have 7mpg to beat over half a tank of fuel.

[matt_t16]

Less than 6mpg here over 3/4 of a tank at Brunters

Have to say Gaz I like the Supra a lot - Active Aero spoilers rate rather high on my cool board as well

Looking foward to seeing the pics!

As I said they are lovely motors and i imagine stupidly fast!!!!Cheers Shaun

I always say they're the poor man's Ferrari Maranello ('poor' being a relative concept here) - stonking fast front-engined beast that sounds like armageddon.

Still don't like the way it looks and if I had one I'd de-spoiler it, de-mirror the lights and choose a less 'gaping' front bib, but its power can't be disputed. Enjoy.

P.S. - pic of the wheels you're after?

[Targarama]

I assume it's a Turbo model then ... manual or auto?

Nice cars. My kid brother wants one to replace his Corrolla GTi, but he can't quite afford a decent one and I'm stopping him buying a really cheap heap. He'll probably end up with a recent model 200sx.

Tell us more about the car when you get time.

Nah, he doesnt want a 200sx, he wants an MR2 Turbo!

No he doesn't although they're good cars. He wants something he can cart stuff around in, and he's extra tall like me so needs a bit of wiggle room.

When you turbocharge your X19, you will need to solve the same problem- how to get as much air in, and out of the engine bay as possible, and for that you need big ass vents, or expensive intercooling/charge cooling.

What I'd probably do is put some kinds of uprated air hoses through from the side vents, and similar hoses exiting through the engine cover. In fact, I could even prop it open, Abarth 500-style. Another thing I'd do is to try and replace the big chunky '80s bumpers with the nicer, slimmer ones from the pre-'77 cars.

But I'm getting ahead of myself here - I haven't even got the car and I'm beginning to have the odd second thought about whether I absolutely want it. It is everything I want right now, but the rust...
