To state the obvious, people are picking on Troy and the car as he has had many projects over the years that were going to do things, that mostly never got finished. I guess the side effect of being liberal with your project information on a forum is after a few don't get finished, people roll their eyes and your an easy target to "prove" your newly finished vehicles performance. Now regardless of your opinion, if this f ucking thing DOESN'T go like a cane toad covered in metho, there is something seriously wrong. 76mm turbo, good manifold, good exhaust, cams, E85 and 20+ psi, we all know its a 600+rwhp car regardless of dyno or whether Troy built it or not, and depending on driver will run 135-140mph+. We went 134mph with one of my staffs supra with 604rwhp on our dyno and 98ron pump fuel, GT42, no cams, and 25psi. Since changing manifolds to ours it makes 698rwhp but we haven't had a chance to get back to the track. This is essentially the same combo with cams and E85 FFS Troy, just go to the track and run a mph and put the issue to rest Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It's ok I know u were being a wanker trying to get a bite but why bother Yeah daz They only had a tt aerotop I'm pretty sure in the states We got the **** versions Over there the mk4 came wit the big brakes n I think they also came with the b series diffs n them It's ok Pigsy, if can get the car back 2gether before Thursday then I guess we will c how it goes I built the majority of this car while I was working 6-7days a week doing 60-70hrs All at home in the garage Didn't take it to a work shop n say "build this" Just help from a couple mates, especially Pigsy Bout 9months ago I finally got off my arse to get it completed I changed my mind alot on the whole setup Finished the fuel system then decided to switch to e85 Was going to run a built auto but then put a 6spd in it And it goes on It was just going to b a gt35 auto setup, how things change I couldn't care less if people bag me or the car I built it to how I wanted n im very happy with how it turned out And to b honest, it's 1 of the best sounding supras I've heard! It's got the power there for a really good driver to run a high 9 with the 6spd, even with the single disc clutch n STD tailshaft But there's no way I could get it doing that! I'm actually getting excited to do my next 1 that will b totally different to this! ---------- Post added 18-04-11 at 21:59 ---------- Would love to get it to the track b4 it goes Kyle Will hav to check when the next tnt's are Is that supra the white 1? I think he has put it up for sale on qldsc site Pigsy, might see if pete has a few cars that want to come out That's what I meant by it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good write up Troy. As refer to what kyle said its best to let track times speck for themselves, although it didn't workout between us mate you know I'm still willing to help you, (like when you had broken down on the M1) I think its about proving people wrong, its the best revenge to give. Well done as far mate, lets hope old mate car get it to the track over the next few weeks and race it. Whitey

Suprastore is a joke Apparently pretty dodgy T66 wouldn't make much more than 700hp

That's the car from the movie isn't it? Pretty impressive mod list. I'd love to own it but **** 150g is a bit excessive.
