Yay or nay to the date?

Guy at work can make 6pm meets too as is working in the afternoons.

My brother just sold his Skyline to my RX-7 owning brother and bought a '94 Supra SZ. Non turbo and auto but if you're like me you won't be able to tell the difference. Still looks awesome and i still want one (turbo of course). Red too, so it goes faster. ;)

Had a drive of it today and did a few laps in it. Suspension feels as hard as the aftermarket (king springs and dobi shocks) stuff in my new car and doesn't feel much quicker. Non turbo Supras are supposed to be 220 hp aren't they?

He's keen to learn stuff from those in the know anyway.

Yes Dave, do show me your 'Tezza. :P

I agree, but turbos are prolly a bit too much for his car control skills at the mo. 8O

shite...

Anyone got one sitting around?

The Greddy kit uses a TD04-16G... so something around that size should be suitable.
