Glad your happy with the Supra Paul, always been a Supra fan and love the mean looks on the car.

Hope everything remains sweet, can't remember who it was that picked up theirs and ended up with an expensive turbo bill, and come to think of it, what ever happened to it?

er that was my first one ........ it was a uk spec and the turbo threw a blade and killed the engine and i had a bit of a mare resulting in me giving the car back. Soo this one is a J Spec with ceramic blades that are apparently stronger, it's got a 3 yr warrenty that incorporates things like this so it's a lot safer and the car is in alot better condition.

Glad to hear you got a good warranty on this sort of high performance car - hope you hadn't lost too much on the previous Supra.

BTW are all Supras grey imports? I assumed they were like the Skylines.

hmm checked the warrenty in depth ...
not all are imports, Toyota imported around 400 off them in the uk the spec was a little different, no aero top option.
but most you see are liekly to be an import and theres about 4 different model levels to choose from .. and yes mine is the top of the range one
