Hi all.. Just found this site so decided to sign up.. Been a fan of old cars for quite a while now.. I'm a Toyota fan and have had alot of mr2 turbos, celicas etc and the odd honda crx v-tec. At the minute I have a 1992 supra 2.5 GT Twin turbo old school model, car was imported from Japan on May 2009. They never made the 2.5tt for the UK market so they are quite a rare car and even rarer in Manual form! The car is Mint and was undersealed as soon as it arrived into the country to keep it that way. It has a few mods from Japan and I havent added anything to it yet.. Few details and pics, hope you all like!

Your car looks in exceptionally nice condition for early 90's Japanese. Good buy! Somebody must have spent a lot of time detailing the underside.
I would get the underbody and cavity wax on and in your car to keep it as nice as it is!

I only use it on weekends/good weather and mainly for the odd car show/rally. Spends most of the time in the garage inbetween times. |

Do you have any plans for it?

That looks in brilliant condition. Look how many threads you've got left on those Coilovers though! Get it wound down!

I think if you space your wheels slightly and wind the coilovers down you'll be very close to that picture!

Now that definately floats my boat. Absolutely stunning in black, and one of the best motors I've seen on here for ages.
I look forward to seeing how you progress with it.
Exceptional purchase!!

Blimey. I recognise that street. It's within a mile of my house.
Nice example, BTW.
