maybe someone could post up some vids of their z5500 at their peak for me to look at. i have seen some youtube vids but they dont really show them at their peak or even as high as they go .
wont let my friend do that to these for long though (melted voice coil)

Quote from Tim_J_23 :

Not to sound like a fanboy but I would rather stick to fords newer v8s.
Less problems, cheap to fix etc.

cant be bothered going on about the jz engine to you. supra people why dont you take it on from here and explain how long they last.

good to see your trying to see some other people with your car on the forum just make sure you get people who like your cars on your thread and not people pissing on your thread like mine lol.

relax guys this thread was meant to be fun and enjoyable for supra lovers and it seems all we got is people getting on each others nerves and non supra people saying how much better other cars are.
its a supra thread and also dont let me have all the glory any supra is welcome in this thread. mk1 mk2 mk3 mk4.
so post up some pics, specs, mods, or just supra talk. remember you dont need to own one you just have to have a passion for them.

it seems everyone who owns the z5500 like them and the ones who dont own them dont like them?
as i said before i like the x530's so im sure the z5500 will be better. the quality seems good on the x530's and even if the z5500 quality isn't much better atleast their is the extra power im mainly using them for pc so the z 5500 should be good for that.

also here are some pics of every model supra.

mk1: 1979-1981



mk2: 1982-1986



mk3: 1986.5-1993 i already have pics up.

mk4: 1993-2002

well at the moment i have the logitech x530 and they were very good but my friend blow my sub. im sure the z 5500 would be better? how would they compare to the x530?

heres some pics of a70 supras

well if your not used to driving mid engine cars than it would be very hard cause it understeers when you turn in too late and if you get on the power too early it just wants to snap the rear end out. dont forget its turbo charged and for some reason the rac has really bad turbo lag so you kinda have to get on the power early. what i would do if i were you is get as much weight to the front as possible and it shouldn't be as unstable at high speeds or when your turning in to a corner. but when i learnt the ways of the rac i just used the default setup and just practised and im not even a mid engine fan i usely drive rwd cars

I don't.


I own a series 3 rx7, and my brother owns a Toyota soarer. (Kind of like a luxury version / Baby brother of the mark IV)

nice nice
series 3 rx7 thats my other dream car i wont be buying both right now though should also get this of my chest honda nsx and ferrari f40

Quote from Klutch :

MkII, better performance wise?
Are you on crack?

Also, nearly any N/A Supra is terribly slow. The fact that they weigh so much, you need a turbo to get the whales moving.

No n/a supra would beat any evo or m5

so what supra do you own? what sort of mods have you done.

Quote from morpha :

All the Logitech, Creative, etc. setups are ... well cheap crap really, the link in Tomba's sig "Z5500 POWER" - which is just terrible - proves the point.
However, overall the Z5500 is probably the best bang for the buck and if you're not overly audiophile, you probably can't tell the difference between it and a really good system (Klipsch, Harman Kardon, B&O, Teufel, ... to name a few major players).

Sadly really good surround systems are rather expensive and the cheaper Logitech and Creative ones offer good value for money, just don't expect too much.

well at the moment i have the logitech x 530's and iam very happy with them and i have read up on the z 5500's and people have said they are very good computer speakers im sure there is better but as you said great for the price.
also the reason i want these is cos my friend blow up my sub on the x530 and i think the z5500 are pretty good by what people have said and they look like thay would be good.

Quote from theirishnoob :

hmm i knew it...


heres some advice, Very simple and well... its effective to - dont rally before you can drive at the limits, dont walk before you can crawl... though i know your dad/mate/brother might let you drive on a motorway or something the odd time honestly...


before you can even think of going fast you have to learn to be patient going the limit ( generally 30 mph... 3rd gear... Yawn )

master that then go drive the life out of your boxy supra as much as you like, every man to his own...

besides the mkII was the best ( looking and performance wise )

haven been trained by a toyota specialist he bragged all day every day about how his mkIII ( 1994, early model, N/A with vvti ) kills everything from evo's to m5's...


last month her got creamed by a 306 with a short gear box in it.


sure he can do over 112 mph, but i get their faster....


Small victory's make all the difference...

i have racing experience i have been on a track before and i drive a 450 hp wrx i can drive fast i have even pushed it past its limits before and spun off but thats part of learning.

also you call the mk3 boxy and you think the mk2 is the best shape?
and the mk3 was never vvti or in 94.
just remember i dont have anything against you personally and i dont hate on the different body shapes. i just like the mk3 best in my opinion im sure you understand?

Quote from Klutch :

Depends which MK3 you're talking about

the jza70's with the 1jz are fast
the ma70...not so much, 7mge engine really is a slug.

i was originally going for a jza70 but they are a bit expensive so i will just prob settle with a ma70 or ga70 with a 1jz conversion.
some people have said that the 7m is a good engine when you sort the head out if i get a 7m it will have to be gte but i will definitely get a 1jz when i start building the car.

keep this thread they way i intended it to be. (for supra people and about supras)
that means no saying one car is better than the other, assuming drivers are inexperienced and are gonna kill their self.
i have already made up my mind and have joined the supra community im not going to buy any other car.

anyway its not too late to keep going any supra owners wanna contribute to this thread it could still be a great thread for supra owners and people to chat about their cars.

also i will let you know theirishnoob the a70 supra was between 1986.5 and 1993. the one im getting is 89-93 and dont mean to sound like im being nasty but learn your supras man the a70 or mk3 supra is not a slow car.

anyway i still wanna keep this thread going so lets keep it clean.

...your 15.

i can get my learner license at 15 years and 9 months.

and you can get your track license at 14.
dont worry i can drive my supra at my age

hello everyone i am getting the logitech z 5500 speakers THX certified with 10 inch subwoofer.
i would like to see what everyone's opinions are on them like how they perform, how loud they are and the quality of the sound. anything you could talk about to let me and others know how they are.

hey everyone i wanted to start this thread so people with supras or people who are looking at buying one can discuss their cars and also so everyone can see who all the supra people are in live for speed
i will start.
hi my name is Jamie and im going to buy a a70 supra in the next few months.
it all started when i was about five and i was playing gran turismo and my career mode car was a jza70 supra ever since i have loved them.
last year i decided to get my dream car and some time after i buy it i will be turning it into a track car.

my supra mania user name is: sette1994

yes correct are you on the forums?

i will have a a70 supra soon just gotta find one in good condition and for a good price.
i will be turning it into a track car some time down the road.

here are some pics of a70 supras between 89-92

Quote from senn :

unnecessary. Rev the shit out of any car in LFS to build boost, then dump the clutch.

P.S. - That looks a bit like canning mills road.....

you could do that but the whole point is to be able to build boost at low , mid and high revs if you just sit on the limiter and dump the clutch you will build boost but it will only be at high revs.
and i also noticed that after a while of rev limiter you can damage your engine not as quick as real life but you can in live for speed.

ps im not sure about the road he is a guy i know on the supra forum he lives in WA.

hi has any one tried this?
what is it?:
its a device that builds boost easily while you are not in gear it is useful in drags or to get you of the line quickly. i guess its kind of like a cross between launch control and anti lag.
how do you simulate this in live for speed?:
get in a turbo charged car and rev it (dont hit the rev limiter) and either have the car in neutral or have it in gear with the clutch in than press i or what ever you use to turn the car off and put your foot flat on the pedal than keep turning the car on and off while having the cars accelerator in and the cars clutch in or neutral (remember dont hit the rev limiter).
the car should hit max boost and you can take off and it will make your car alot quicker in a straight line.

also:
you can experiment with taking off at different boost levels and RPMs for eg. dont have the accelerator flat and build a bit of boost and take off at low revs or high revs. or have your foot welded to the floor and build maximum boost at high RPMs. or keep your revs very low and keep reving till it hits maximum boost at like 2500 RPMs ps to do that at low revs you need to rev it high build max boost than turn the car off keep your foot to the floor till desired rpm than turn the car on than take off. which is pretty cool seeing as with doing this 2 spec simulation you can build high boost at around 2000 rpms wich you cant do any other way before


here is a video of a real car with real 2 step

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZViz_j909U

just think of it as this you can take off at just about any rpm and you will have the turbos spooled up at maximum boost

well if I say it like this I don't think I'm going to make it. Every time I try to make the damn interior it ****s up. Sry but i don't think I can make the interior. So if someone else could try it i would be relived. Sry m8. Tried my best but i think I'm going to stick to skin making. (suck at that to though)

thats ok you gave it a go
