Don't know any times for it as it is yet to see the track. That will hopefully change in the not too distant future.

This exhaust was actually done at the Waterloo branch of Tuffy. All the current mods wer performed by my mate who used to own it, but I believe the exhaust was quite reasonably priced.

Very,very CLEAN ride, I'm quite impressed (& jealous). My friend has the same set of rims on his 180sx but they're 16's.
I was going to get the same model supra a while ago and sell my celica, I was going to try turn one into a drift pig, but i decided i'll keep the celica and make it a quik street car. I'll probably keep the celica forever, but also buy the supra eventually. The 3.0 ltr GT twin turbo models are hard to find around VIC. especially one as neat as yours. But all in good time and patience.

Are you referring to the air ducts in the middle of the bumper?
If so then they are factory items on the Turbo A supra.

nice car man!!! maxo Kudos!! i like the exhaust!!! i am currently deciding on an exhaust for my red ma71 turbo (australian delivered). does this three inch exhaust perform well and sound the goods? also is there any backpressure or backfires due to the size? any other moderately priced mods that you can suggest that can give that edge over others?
what are the differences between my supra and your group A?

Glad someone brought this thread back to life.. I haven't seen this car before...
Nice car Russ!!
Sounds like its had a lot of work done to it! It would go nuts I'm sure!!
I've always liked the Group A's!!
The stickers down the door tend to take away from the sleekness of the black car tho.. I prolly would have run them down the side skirts.. suggestion only.. car still looks mad!!
cheers
