New whip

[Joe Marcon]

Sorry its not a bike.
I had a 1.4 lupo then sold that after 1 year then bought a 2.5 ci msport e46 cheap with fsh and low miles for £1500. I then needed new tax and 4 tyres and other things . I was offered a swap for my new car which is http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/24/y2equpy3.jpg
It is a 3.0 Non turbo jap import with a blitz nur spec exhaust and standard bilstein suspension . Still has. 230 bhp standard and goes sideways :)
When to my first jap meet and few others turned up http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/24/supary4e.jpg . I love it :) i get so much attention, I'm still riding my mothers sv as i dont pay insurance, tax or mot :).

Always loved these after watching the Fast and the Furious as a yoof.

Bit of a step up from a Lupo - aren't the running costs pretty astronomical?

[Joe Marcon]

Its not that bad, after a few skids the fuel is **** lol

I don't get cars.
My son's godfather has a few Supras and Skylines.
The only one I like is the Cadbury chocolate purple coloured Endless that he has.

Think I'll stick with my beige mobeel innit.

I have a full set of n/a calipers you can have for free and a few pads and stuff with loads of meat on.
No disks though.

The calipers are in **** condition, but you could service then clean them up put new seals on them. Depends if you are good with your hands.

I just buy full sets of n/a calipers and do a basic service of the sliders and stuff, at some point you will get a seized caliper, so its good to know how to fix them.

My supra has done over 260k now, i bought it at 80k, so I know what goes wrong and what doesnt :)

Youd have to collect em from liverpool though, drop me a pm if you are interested..!

[Joe Marcon]

Yes I'm interested mate. Only an hour away I'm near leeds. I've actually just ordered some front seal kits from chris Wilson lol . On the fronts of mine i had some pads with meat and some that were shot :s i think my slides were seized as they were never that good . I've took my calipers off atm, pretty much stripped a lot of engine too e.g exhaust, inlet manifold, just sprayed rocker cover too, pretty easy to work on :) .

Loads left on these pads mate, they just have a little surface rust.. :)

You can have these as well as the calipers + sliders!

Thats what happens when a slider goes obviously..

If you are in it for the long haul its worthwhile getting uk spec brakes, which are big money.

..or do as i did and get a tpms system with temperature sensors in the wheels, So you can spot the temperature rising on one particular wheel/tyre and sort it out asap :)

I was doing big milage in mine though, so it was useful to me..

Drop me a pm with your mobile and ill sort something out with you :)

[Joe Marcon]

They sound expensive, have you got any things like ht leads. Car had a misfire atm and is breaking me so need to find the problem lol .

Nice speaking to you joe, I hope i resolved your problem, let me know how you get on, and I hope you learnt new things :)

[Joe Marcon]

Yes cant wait to learn mate, yes was good speaking to you too. Only 63 miles away so not too bad if weather is poo

So I've worked out that whip means car. But I have no idea why, that makes no sense from what I can see. Care to explain?

As for Supras they are nice looking cars and do have some decent performance in them. Just don't Fast and Furious it please.

Haha just a saying round my end lol
