  1. Sluggisih??!! 326bhp - sluggish! Really??!! Bloody hell!
  2. Oy - my N/A has the camp beige leather seats - and I'm not gay or owt! What more? The right car at the right price right now would be good thanks!!
  3. Aaah, so unless stated in an ad, assume it hasn't! To be honest its just that and the bonnet scoop that appeals to me on the UK car (nothing like being shallow and superficial!!) and the slightly higher interior spec.
  4. OK then - does the J-Spec TT have the active front spoiler as the UK car does?
  5. Interesting day! Started out still searching for a UK TT. Popped down to see Chris Wilson to get a new zorst for my N/A before it sells and asked him his opinion! Oops! Said get a J-Spec TT instead - ceramic turbos, better lower end grunt, lightning quick! UK has steel turbos, take longer to spool up, not as fast in real world. So now I'm in a quandry!! So I'm calling on those who may have driven/owned both or either type for their opinions - and be quick as I have a wedge of cash in my pocket burning a big hole and quite a few cars that I'm now interested in! All replies greatly appreciated. Oh, and I'm after an unmolested car whether its UK or J-Spec!
  6. I've got that one in mind - 11,200 is a bit steep though! If you're open to negotiation we might be able to talk!
  7. Only 6 months into Supra ownership and the lure of a UK TT is just too strong! So mine's going . . . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4572832778&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 and some lucky devil should be getting a wad of my cash shortly when I track down my UK TT!! I'm keeping my eyes on those for sale here so if you know of any, give me a nudge!
  8. Hi Dave Just as a matter of interest - what were you paying for insurance last year (and I'm assuming you declared all the mods!!!) Ellis
  9. Whereabouts in Lincs are you? Am in Lincoln and on the lookout for a TT! PM me if you want.
  10. Cheers! Yours looked very tasty!
  11. We gave the salute to each other! You on here?
  12. Morning all! Need a new zorst as my baffles in the Zigen 5 are shot - think I've narrowed it down to either a HKS Hiper or an RSR. Questions: 1. anybody got either of these and are they excessively noisy? 2. Am I right in saying that the N/A has 2 cats and it is pretty easy to remove 1 of these and still pass MoT? If so, is there much performance difference or is it just noise? And which one to remove? Thanks in advance chaps.
  13. I drove past the yellow one whilst I was in Ealing - very sad looking thing it was too! Parked up and shameful! Also saw another black Supe in the same area.
  14. Just seen 2 over the weekend! Black one going through Lincoln and a white UK spec TT just outside the village of Scothern (gave you a pip but no response!) What is the recognised signal anyway?
  15. Not far when you own a Supra!! About 2 hours then!!
  16. If you want a blast in an N/A you're more than welcome to have a crack in mine! I'm in Lincoln (not too far away) and I'm not disappointed at all - had the car for about 6 weeks now (had a BMW 325i before) and the power is fine (auto too). I'm sure if I had a go in a TT I'd crave one (which is why I haven't!!). Offer's there anyway!
  17. I also had a low quote as most insurers (I run an N/A) don't have the MKIV Jap import (SZ) down - they quote on the Fi. I got discs for about £117 each - can't remember pad price. I think I'm getting about 20mpg, mostly around town though - looking forward to belting down to London this week so will see what I get then! Mine's an auto and its pretty darned bullet-proof - with 89,000 on the clock I've had it checked over and I'm told its as tight as a nut!

    4 In Beverly

    Was in Beverley recently but not in a convoy.
  19. Cheers for that - do you have to refit the cat for MoT?
  20. Had the N/A for a few weeks now and, after a good service and a K&N filter, its running beautifully. As is always the case though I'm now in search of a few more horses! So I'm asking those in the know - what's available tuning-wise for the N/A and what gains can I expect? Not after TT performance just an increase of 20 - 30 bhp would be a start! And, after that, where's the best place to go for these mods? Thanks in advance. http://www.ellisgrange.co.uk/images/suprasig.jpg
