@MEC-777 here's one of the guys I worked with over the summer at a few events. Really cool guy, does amazing video work. Daily drives an ISF. 

 

 

Not a big fan of the ISF, but it does sound pretty good.

They were trying to take advantage of her, saying the tire could explode if she put air in with the nitrogen. It's complete BS.

 

The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, the rest is oxygen and vapor. 

so i did understand it correctly .... 

reminds me when my sister brought her laptop in for warranty  ... the reception dude .... well more like the stuck up cunt that he was ... thought that she knew fk all about computers .... little did they know that her brother is a bit of a tech geek and had tested all of the things i could without opening the bloody thing ... once she mentioned that the laptop has gone trough several versions of windows and several reinstalls on each version ... the dude shut up

found the gear ratios for the accord. it's a double overdrive gearbox. I could've guessed that i suppose.

oh yeah, apparently my friend bought a twin turbo mkiv supra, FOR 9 FREAKING GRAND. like it looked like in good condition, and it was a stick shift model. i don't understand how he got a functioning supra for that low. i feel like there might be some major problem he doesn't know about.

does he actually have it?  or is it one of those deals where the car is at some far away location and you pay some escrow company and then the car get shipped to him?  cause a lot of people get scammed like this...  9k is the price of an NA supra... even a none running twin turbo manual supra easily sells for more than 9k in the US

9k is about right for a supra here in the UK. With clean examples going for about 15k. 30k is mad for an N/A one

30k (USD or GBP) is mad for an NA one, but there's a big price difference between an NA supra and a twin turbo supra (factory turbo, not NA with a turbo bolted on).  how much do twin turbo 6 spd supra's sell for in the uk?  also, I'm assuming you're listing all prices in GBP?

in the US, the 6spd Getrag sells for 6-7k.  thats just the transmission, you'd still need all the other bits and pieces for the conversion.  not sure how much the trans is in the uk, but I don't imagine that being too much different

Tell me about it. Him, and Alex Penfold got me started. I bumped into Zach Brehl a few times too since he operates out of my city.

no, he actually has it, he has a picture of it on snapchat, and it looked very clean. he told me that apparently an old guy was selling it for 9 grand to get rid of it. i say that's baloney, even an old guy would know they sell for much more than that.

actually sounds a lot like the e39 m5 with a muffler delete, only it roars much more at the top end. the low end rpms, they sound almost the same. but the isf has an autotragic, so it doesn't sound as roary when rpm drops before the next gear. and that gap in between gears it just feels too short, since it shifts so quick.

well, idk. he says it's a manual and he has a twin turbo. but i don't believe him until he actually starts driving to school. and this is a friend of mine who just got his license a few weeks ago, and started driving an evo 8 off the bat.

is he a car guy? would he know the difference?  cause I've had an owner of a 3rd gen V6 eclipse try to tell me his car was turbo'd from the factory... when I asked him to show me under the hood, he picked up the hood and said "there" pointing at his bone stock engine bay

[terrytek]

so i just got off the phone with my dad. he told me that he got involved in a car crash in the corolla, i'm assuming on the way home from work. kinda sucks, and plus, it got hit in the same spot where it was hit a few years back, from the first year we owned the corolla. but the corolla has full coverage, so we might be able to pay for the damage to the car. but since it's essentially been hit twice already, would it be a salvage titled car, or would it still be clean because he told me he hasn't totaled the car yet.
