They all have little perks. Find driving i prefer the beams. Very enjoyable and smooth and suspension been setup but still has early brakes so has that as a weakness.

Just coasting i prefer bathurst. Interior is immaculate and drives like a new car and it's the only one with abs.

Loosing interest in Turbo MR2 as i still have the Supra thats also now Single a turbo and manual .

Finally picked up a late 1998 Bathurst. Quite original and unmolested

Few little updates with the Supra basically all cosmetic - because ricer.

Lowered slightly on some factory bilstiens from a TT.
Toyota Aero Sideskirts and Rear Pods Fitted
MVP Style front Lip
TRD (Replica) Rear Spoiler

As it sits now...

As it stands, nothing else I want to do to Supra - I have since let my MR2 get a bit neglected and will begin working on that.

Does power maketh the car?? Or do you wish you still had the MR2 for the fun drive??

But like PETE, I also have a soft spot for the Supra.

Cheers, M

Sorry Monica - Never actually saw your reply!

I still have the MR2! Unfortunately the last track day I did in it took its toll on her and the clutch is in a very bad state. Its booked in at the end of this month to get a new Organic Heavy Duty Item fitted.

On Supra Related News,
A respray Was recently carried out on her to fix up some deep vandilism marks left by a previous owner.

And a Set of SSR Professor Wheels were purchased.
19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +30

Having few issues fitting these so no pictures of them fitted yet.

Sorry I should of clarified I am comparing it to my Turbo MR2.

Performance wise, it isnt bad. For a 20 year old car its more then adequate - actually at times quite surprising.
This is my first larger displacement car I have owned so low down torque is a nice thing to have.
For braking and steering I still prefer the MR2 - MR2 feeling I feel is more direct (supra you can steer with one finger) and braking - well i just prefer a car without ABS (I feel this and like every other car with ABS I have driven engages far to easily...- great in the wet though)
