Car that I love. Toyota supra mk4 (2jz manual version)

 

Maybe the most iconic Japanese sport car since 1993.


 

History of supra has begun from Toyota Celica 1978 where it has transformed to latest form. Mark 4 (A80) in early 90´s.

 

Toyota 2JZ-GE engine is producing 220 hp.  and twin turbocharged Toyota 2JZ-GTE making 276 hp.

For the export model (America/Europe) Toyota upgraded the Supra turbo's engine, This increased the power output to 320 hp.

The turbocharged variant could achieve 0–100 kmh in as low as 4.6 seconds and 1/4-mile in 13.1 seconds at 175 kmh. (stock)

For the 1996 model year in the US, the turbo model was only available with the automatic transmission. For 1997, manual transmission returned for the optional engine.

This car has been several racing games, movies and has been popular since it came to international market.

2jz engine has been ripped from stock to huge amount of power with just a few adjustments.

and many petrollheads with money and skills have reached over 1000 hp.

I personally admire this wonderful piece of art, and would love to have one some day.

Work life training in Vianor Nurmes (as experience)



This was my first time starting two months long work life training. And I picked Vianor because two of my friends were going there too. It was interesting and fun first 2 or 3 weeks, but then it got boring because it was almost all the time only finding, washing, balancing and changing tires and wheels. Sometimes I was put to help some easy maintenance like oil or brake pad change. Then there were those silent days when we emptied cesspool and old storage.

 

The work crew was nice. little bit humor, bad jokes and heated temper. So normal car mechanics I guess. They taught  basic tactics how to easily change tire to wheel and also I got much useable information about cars.

 

As a whole experience it was very instructive many ways working there and I enjoyed. Now I have knowledge at perspective of real mechanic in real workshop.
