Okay guys i brought a White 1995 Sz-r Supra !!!

[Taz]

I learnt to drive manual at age 5

Country kids start young

Being a city boy i was probably learning to wipe my own ass at that time or figure out how to tie my shoelaces

[payaya]

220 hp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 5800 rpm for the NA supra, curb weight 1460kg
200 hp (147 kW; 197 hp) at 7,500 rpm for a GPX/GPvR, curb weight 1100kg - 1200kg

So while the supra might be slightly more powerful, its bigger and heavier.
Straight line i dunno how they'd go but as usual, around corners an FTO would wipe the floor

Man how about torque and usable power??

A Ford Falcon has 190kw and it weights 50% more than an FTO. So 20% more power but 50% heavier.

The Falcon runs high 6's 0-100 and 14's quarter mile. Lets see an FTO do this stock.

1) falcon.
2) might want to get a new one for a better comparison... oh wait they stopping making FTOs..
3) don't think FTO was ever designed for straight lines?

Still comparing manufacturers figures hey? From 15 year old cars?

I'm pretty sure that was just the fumes from the incinerated rubber.

Hey guys and girls, Thought i would do a write up about my Supra haven't been on here since.... Well a long time.

Was stock as a rock besides some coilovers and some aftermarket wheels and also too a bloody pod filter.

So i drove up to Sydney to inspect it and had it looked over by a mechanic and it had some really minor things wrong, such as the brakes, boot rattling, pinhole in welsh plug, damage to the skirts and the boot plastics being scratched and it all being empty besides the spare Tyre with sh*t carpet on it, but i was happy with it all and talked him down to $7200. So i ended up driving home in my new Supra :hihi:
Was quite a surprise driving and being so happy at the same time and also to for it being a N/A it has a lot of power compared to a commodore which i found out by going through a roundabout in the rain on the way home :/ and also to having a rock flick up and crack abit of the windscreen was not a happy thing to happen on the way home but overall i was just stunned getting home and having a supra in my driveway and i am glad to be part of the Supra community

Okay so another post for you guys.

Spoke to James Pogson at Gameon Motorsports and had quite a few chats with him on what to do and what to get for all the work I need to be done and knew that this legend of a bloke had to be the guy to do my work ! So I was all booked in with him to get all the work to my car done.

So a brand new Dual Mass flywheel and Stock 6 speed Clutch and a Brand new OEM stock 6 speed shift Knob were ordered through James for a great price

100k service parts were all ordered from Curt from Elmhurst Toyota
List:
1 x Drive Belt
1 x Timing Belt
1 x Fuel Filter
1 x Oil Filter
1 x timing belt tensioner bearing
1 x Timing Belt Tensioner
1 x Drive Belt Tensioner
1 x Water Pump
1 x Thermostat
1 x Harmonic Balancer
2 x Cam seals
1 x crank seal
1 x Rear Main Oil Seal
1 x Spark plug leads
6 x Spark Plugs
2 x Timing belt covers
1 x 6MT Seal, Input
1 x 6MT Seal, Output
1 x 6MT Seal, Shifter
1 x Speed Meter Sensor. O-ring

While waiting for them to come I got a nice lovely RBT on the way home from work. Knowing my luck was a female cop and she was not in a good mood with me being as nice as I could be after a 12hour shift, so anyways long story short after her checking under my bonnet and checking the front tyres (She thought it was a FWD :dunno:) I got a defect to be cleared withing 48hrs for No horn, aftermarket exhaust and car to low :rolleyes:

Next day visited my mechanic an just put in it for a couple of hours and free of charge my defect my cleared

A few days later came home from Tafe to see a slip at the door from the mail man and knew it was my 100k service parts Curt did a great job on packing it all postage was quicker than was surposed to be.


After that came I went down to the local Repco store to get all my fluids and then relised I had forgotten the gearbox fluid and needed decent diff fluid so a quick call to Castle Hill Toyota and they were on the way and arrived the next day


So after having everything I needed the car was ready to goto Gameon Motorsports. Dropped my car off on the 7th of Feb, it was a Thursday Afternoon due to having no other days early than that free to do so but I was happy with that

Fist James decided to do the gearbox first and do the rear main seal so after doing so I was left with this:

Looks like it has never been touched before and showing how bad the car was due for its 100k service.

With James Magic it was looking like new:


Then the flywheel was to be attached:


While James was doing the seals on the Gearbox he noticed the input selector seal was pushed in too far and had to rip open the box. Looks dam clean inside !


Getting ready to be put in:


Then got sent a picture that night showing how clean a brand new shift knob is:


Engine being all pulled apart for everything to be done:


Starting to be put back together:

On Sunday it was all done but I had forgotten the Rocket Cover Gaskets (Silly me) so they arrived on Monday and A quick trip to James and in no time they were changed !


The car was all done within a couple of hours just doing some finishing touches and helping me install the rest of my gauges to there sensors that have been put in place.
After the drive home thought to check the engine bay and noticed we hadn't of tightened up a clamp so a pink/red theme was added to my engine bay

After tightening up it was all good and has been for over a week now, but the top hose does need to be replaced.

But other than that I have been over the top with everything that has been done !
Big thanks to James Pogson, the quality work Gameon Motorsports has done and how quick it was done was spectacular ! Would recommend him to anyone who needs work done to their car. Top Bloke !

This then arrived two days before the annual Hallys birthday Cruise:

Quick trip up to James and it was put on with help of him

Recently just attended the Entrance Cruise and heres just a photos showing we had a decent amount of people showed up:




Someone say white supra


Lined up perfectly:


How my car sits now:



Then the day after my series 2 front indicators came late, should of been here a couple of days earlier but that can't be helped.
Picture of comparison:


Both on:

[King hit kiz]

Another post.

Got some clear side indicators, makes the car look much better to look at from a distance !and yes the car needs a wash... But the weather has been horrible lately.


Also got a new air freshener and a sticker from the last Mega Meet.


So I finally got around to paying my membership for the NSW supra club.
Got two nice stickers for the rear quarter windows and a nice t-shirt



Also painted my windscreen wipers with matt black !


And did a quick trail on my shifter surround & ashtay (which turned out mint) and am defiantly doing the whole dash soon !


Got a nice rare steering wheel to add to the goodies of the car


Also a sneak peak of some seats I got, now just waiting for the rails to arrive.


Changed my radiator hose finally ! and put some more parts on order !

[Taz]

Looks tidy. Nice job so far - only changes id make is blend the rear panel add ons, and get another front bar to match the height of the skirts.

[King hit kiz]

Cheers mate ! Yeah down the track I am going to either get a full re-spray or re-shell into an aero-top and hopefully have a wide body kit on.

The front bar has to stay always scraping lowest thing on my car actually ?

[Taz]

Sorry, i do apologize - when i first submitted the comment most of the pictures werent there, but incorrect attachment paths etc, and only a few were showing without the lip on the bumper.
Looks much better with it on - the ride height is universal and not all over the place

Just need to get those rear bumper panels blended into the bar and itll look mean!

[King hit kiz]

Nar all good

Yeah exactly Was going to paint the lip white but I'm always scrapping so no point really :/

Nar to much effort for a re-spray when I can go a widebody later down the track

Not exactly what I was thinking.. haha, would you even still call that a Supra ?

Same as this one..



Was more thinking like this

[Astron_Boy]

I will concede, your Supra does look good.
