G'day all,

well soon it seems I will be getting my second shoulder surgery
in 3 years and need a new car, so it looks like
I'll get an AUTO.....

SVX is top of my list + Boost

how does that sound?

Cheers,
S

Indeed Toonga!

Ive always liked them, even had the chance to drive one once!

now they can be had for under 5K (just) they are a good start for
a car to mod.

-Im planning to use Megasquirt III as a standalone plus expansion boards for extra
sensor input and drivers.
-Ill use the factore loom to run as much as i can as a plug in and make a seperate loom for the rest.
-I plan to use a TD06 or a T25 running 7 psi ~
-Water methanol injection

all this will begin after i get the basics down

-Seperate large oil cooler
-seperate large Trans cooler
-Alloy Radiator
-Bigger Brakes
-major service work

here is a turbo setup i found on the net, keep in mind its for a left hand drive and i will
have mine reversed

Sounds...like...well...AWESOME

Nothing wrong with a SVX - although they do have an appetite for transmissions if not serviced. And the electric windows can cost a fortune OME.

Once they wind up (yes, they are a very heavy car) they go well. Very nice ride.

There are a couple on rslc which look most tidy.

Pics when it arrives please!

Yes they are heavy guys buuuuuuuut, boost eleviates
that :)
Supra's are very close the that weight and that's why they
have 2JZ's.

I do know of both of those issues Sven and am expecting that.

The auto would be the easiest to fix as they are pretty cheap and
if love to put a front LSD if that happened.

As I am told 4eat's have the same front diff as 5spd's

cheers,
