My car before it went down for upgrades

[Flyinmkiv]

This was taken almost a year ago. I dyno'ed that day at 358HP on intake, exhaust, FMIC, and 18ibs. I'm currently waiting on my single turbo, fuel system, and several other things to come in from shipping. Hope you enjoy.

Supra is prolly gonna be a car I'm always going to want. I need to save pennies and find one to get. Course I guess I should drive it first and make sure I like it, lol.

Nice car. You planning on leaving it stock-looking?(i think that's the best approach).

Supras are over rated, go with a FD3S

[Flyinmkiv]

Supras overated, lol. I'll show you my overated supra when it goes back together with the mods I just got in today. Hopefully I can post some pics of it too.

No, they are great at making power, but they are huge cars, they dont have the finese of a FD3S. If you like to attack staright lines go for a supra but if you like to go for the real fun (the twisties) go for a near perfectly balanced car that has huge power pontential too, like the FD3S.

I use my bike for that, I race my bike up in the mountains. I know all about the twisties. I just prefer to do that on a bike.

LOL! Huge Cars?? You ever seen a Supra in real life?? They are not big at all, i've ridden in the back of one and had to fold myself in half!

Maybe you have never seen the FD3S in real life, A supra is a big car for being a sport compact, its almost the size of a 3K GT

i will agree with you on the balance of the FD, and although supras aren't the tanks they are made out to be, they are certainly heavier than the FD too. definitely not a "huge car" though, not by a long shot.

the thing is, buying any rotary powered car is (and i know this is almost a cliche) like buying a ticking time bomb. sure, rotaries have proven to be able to hold ridiculous power, but they have to be built properly ($$) and tuned by an expert ($$). the supra, on the other hand, is ridiculously strong and much easier to extract power from. supras are also excellent handling cars. they aren't as tossable as the FD but they put up the numbers on the skidpad.

just my opinion. i'm not biased one way or another but every car has its faults.

Fd's arent ticking time bombs as long as you dont get too ridiculous with mods. All you have yo do is get a package from a decent performance shop like mostly mazda that will account for mods with a reflashed ECU. ITs not that expensize for what you get, and the reward for that is endless. I never did say they are tanks btw i just said they are big cars, bigger then what most people think they are.
