YOUR Supra... Is it FUN to DRIVE?

[radiod]

When it's off the road and broken: frustrated, hate, anger, anguish, mourning, weeping and gnashing of teeth

Step in and take it for a spin and it all goes away because you realize after 2 minutes of driving that car, it's worth the working on it and staring at it in the driveway for 2 years.

It was fun when I bought it but I soon got bored. I added wheels and some other performance mods and it was fun again. However, it soon became boring again. So I added suspension, better wheels and other mods. It was fun again. You see where I'm going with this. Right now the car is boring. However, soon I will have my good wheels refinished and a big brake kit. Hope that tides me over until next year...

Not right now,I have a wheel vibration up front @ 60 mph,left rear strut needs to be replaced,bald tire on right rear,still can't get my DDPR on without blowing a chunk of money on a new cat back.

Been on a "drive for 2 weeks, fix shit for 2 weeks" pattern for like 6 months now.....

Every second of being behind the wheel with it running makes it worth it.

I love pegging 6k on the tach, hitting 80 in 3rd gear then getting pulled back in my seat when I hit 4th, and yes I am N/A.
Just in case something did not come across clear....

HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:naughty:

^^^ That same issue led me to Andy at ARZ and the Wilwood's. Now it's REALLY FUN without being DEATH DEFYING on every drive!:biglaugh:

Today impressed me. I've been driving the car around a bit lately (it gets maybe 2-3k a year) and decided to take it over to a friends house to finally show him what it was like. First pull was 2nd and 3rd on the wastegate, .9bar. The next run was 2-4th at 18psi, high 400's rwhp. Just before the speedo crested 100 I heard "yeah that's enough". Funny as that's usually where people say that yet I'm usually set to let off at 100. Anyways, she ran very smooth, very well, very strong, as I was showing her off.

I'm very choosy when i mod my cars now... the mk3 was just too wild.. i'm not looking for 10000 hp.
I want maximum hp with minimal discomfort. Meaning no more stright though 3"/4" exhausts... Cats are a must. No solid motor mounts, no hard suspension. ect. having suspension that is uber stiff is mildy better at the track then a properly setup softer setup. giving up 20-30 HP for a cat to get rid of the constant stink of exhaust wafting back isn't a sacrifice IMO

It is an addiction. Coke or hookers might actually be cheaper :biglaugh:

I must admit, adding over 100hp with a bigger T4 turbo and methanol kit, along with 13" brakes all around has really transformed the car. It went from boring to drive, and unsafe to stop, to "holy shit this car rocks!"

Jealous....I'll get my brakes done some time this year...I want your wing!

 

[black89t]

It would be fun if it was a toy and not a daily. I'm too concerned with things breaking or wearing so I baby the shit out of it.

dude, i daily my supra, drag race it, autocross it, and its my only car. :aigo:

i know everyone on here might say i'm crazy but i had another back up car before that wasn't even that bad a 94 mazda 626. it had a dohc 2.5 v6 with a 5spd, yet it just sat collecting dust so i sold it. if you treat your car right it will do the same for you. supraofdoom i'm sure you take good care of you car so i say don't be too worried about it since these cars when maintained are hella durable. :icon_bigg


yesterday i took my car down 101 for a drive. i haven't driven it since june 8th because i have been on vacation in oahu. and after not driving it for so long the rush of flying down the hwy form 60-130ish is hard to beat...:biglaugh:

 

[88guy]

Is it fun to drive...well as it has become clear on the Thread so far.... YES it is fun.....When its not under the knife :icon_razz

I rock a Black 88 Targa Turbo with a Burgandy interior :icon_razz It has basicly become part of my soul. I drive it everyday (i think im going def because of it) to and from work, around town, on road trips. It just goes. Well after about 4g's to get it to this point hahaha. Everything works, it has very little rust. Its been slightly modded (but i am feeling the urge for MORE BOOST :icon_razz ) right now sitting at an K&N intake, custom 3in exhaust, custom short cut short shifter, and its lowered 1in. Its a joy to drive. It will still pull on alot of cars even for an old girl :icon_razz . But all in all its my car and i love it to pieces :evil2:

 

[CFSapper]

without a dout its fun to drive. Use to go driving in it if i was pissed off or had a shitty day or what ever and no matter how bad a mood i was in it always made me smile. even working one it brings a small smile to my face. more so when you take that second to stand back and look at her with her curvey body, perfect smile and beautiful ass.

 

[crisp]

...even working one it brings a small smile to my face.

I've found that the longer I own it (over 14 years, and it's my THIRD supra!) and the MORE I work on it and modify it and become familiar with it... the more I enjoy the car.

It's not fun to drive anymore. I drive it every day about. It has issues. It's slow. I've been beaten by fricken Civics for crying out loud...

Now when I get it turbo'd... :evil2:

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

of course I enjoyed the supra!!, both turbo models I owned, and even the n/a hardtop! The '89 turbo targa was a battle tank! but so much fun to drive, especially on those cool summer nights... i'd cruise down the country roads w/ cruise control on, and sit on top of my driver seat half-way out the roof... the n/a hardtop was to be a project stripdown, and recieved a whole turbo drivetrain, and was about to ascend to garage kept, show/race car glory when it got stolen... of course, being a project car AND my DD, it stripped me of every cent I had... it was when I sent her off to receive a roll cage that she got stolen, so, no car, no supra, no money for me, lol... kinda depressing, but nothin you can do about it, except start over again.... then again, I havn't had steady work since 07 so, we'll see what heppens, lol.

 

[supraphoenix]

Just ask upgradedsupra if its fun to drive! :evil2:

Sitting in stop and go traffic in 100+ degree weather without A/C, nope, hate the bitch...

Beautiful summer night with the top off and open highways, oh hell yes, it's the experience that makes me keep the car.

My car may look like shit and not be as good as it should be, but she's MINE and I have the scars to prove it.

hell yeh, gotta agree with you there... especially the part about sitting in stop and go traffic in 100+ degree weather without a/c, lol... that really blows... and i've experienced 3 summers of that, lol. supra ran like a dog in the summer too... NO get up and go. :nono:

just want to say your car is, I'm sure VASTLY improved from what my (close to stock) car was, but I wanted to say... over 100hp can be added with minor bolt-on parts and tuning implements, and just brembo crossdrilled rotors and carbon/ceramic pads made a dramatic improvement over the stock configuration.... needless to say, I was pleased with the money I spent... and like you said "It went from boring to drive, and unsafe to stop, to "holy shit this car rocks!""
