Thanks guys...yeah, get the Supra you know it makes sense...(except the optimax bills lol)

Too fast for this weather Gaz...but amazing fun. Get up to 4000rpm in 3rd, hit the 2nd turbo and the wheels spin freely ..and thats with good tyres. Traction control been getting a good work out. Not killed anything of worth yet...still getting used to the idea that I can compete with the big boys now

Thanks....its been in the country about 1 year. The guy was older and only drove it at the weekends (you could tell). Great mileage.

I was out on a little drive tonight to test what boost i was getting....to judge future mods. Hit the motorway, floored it in 3rd and the wheels just spun freely, such a laugh. Managed to eventually get a steady 15/16psi before getting the standard fuel cut above that. I will need to invest in a FCD (fuel cut defencer) and a couple of other things. Its a slippery slope

Re-mortgage the house & sell the kids for medical experiments now,-just to get it out of the way

Elec boost controller & uprated cooling(oil & FMIC) would seem seem sweet.

Lol, along with the body touch ups i want (car! ), alloys, walbro, plugs, full fluid change, blitz BC, FMIC, RLTC, decent ICE, retrim, dash things.

Its easy how people could spend £5000 straight away. Gotta save it first though.... Just gonna make sure its safe for now with walbro pump, colder plugs and restrictor ring.

Funny you should say that, they went last night lol. And I cleaned up the plastic lights (which are prone to fading) with some turtle-wax T-cut stuff and they came up great.

With alloys I really like the Khan RSR ones. Like thier simple, flat 5 spoke design. These ones I think:

I also like the more simple, multi-spoke BBS ones. Gives it a racing look.
