Hi all
Reluctantly parted with my pride and joy this morning - my 1993 black GTS which i have owned for the last 5 years..Sooo sad to see her go,but she's gone to a good home and hopefully Matt will be joining IMOC now so i can still see her progress
I have just purchased a black Supra Aerotop Auto...would have loved to keep both cars but dont want to foot the insurance/tax bill for the both as per new regulations ..
I will remain a member on here as i have made a lot of friends and it's an excellent and very helpful forum
Anyways...heres the Supra as she is at the moment - hope you like....

Re: Changed my tubby for a Supra Aerotop
I actually did the opposite, changed my 1996 twin turbo with about 360-370 bhp for a 1992 410 bhp mr2. Depends on your driving style and the roads you have around you but im glad i went back to a 2. I have lots of backroads and love revs (got a ek9 type r civic aswell). can drive sensibly out of the power band and can stay in the power when going for it. dont do anything inbetween

Re: Changed my tubby for a Supra Aerotop
Looks awesome matey , but those headlight surrounds need to go!
Does the aerotop model have a space to put the roof when it's taken off? i.e in the boot or something? I saw an orange one around our way recently without the roof on, and it made me wonder (because I'm sad like that).

Headlight surrounds - bit like marmite really...love em or hate em
Yeh the roof fastens into holders in the boot.
Cheers for the comments

Re: Changed my tubby for a Supra Aerotop
The aerotop only came in NA auto form of course most people drop a TT engine in there pretty sharpish, it looks lovely but those light covers need to go, I think you've heard that alot

what he said
the headlight "surrounds" have now been removed - i think she looks much better
Still on the lookout for some nice deep-dish rims though
Re: Changed my tubby for a Supra Aerotop
