Big Supes

Oh well. It'll pay for the diff bushes, I suppose...

Oh well, was worth a thought. TBH, I think I would be happier with just buying a wrecked 6sp TT donor car. There's swings 'n' roundabouts in price, but you can't beat it on parts. Also, who knows what extra money you could claw back from selling the additional parts that weren't used in the conversion.

Ahh, I never thought of that.... Considering the long-term plans with the car, I'm not so sure the NA manual box would stand up to the power. Just out of curiosity, would the SZR (6sp) box be up to the job, I would you be in similar waters with the TT box in price??

Those step by step guides look pretty informative. Thanks for the information, it's much appreciated. I'm definitely going to allow for additional budget for all of those extra things that come out of the wood work.... you're right about the unexpected items (bad experiences come to mind ). There's also the situation where possible modds could be done while the engine is out. I wonder how much a reasonably low mileage NA auto engine and box would fetch?

Bolarbag: Okey... more expensive than what I would have hoped, but not the end of the world. I can relate to cars being worth more in parts. Sadly I would lose around £1500 if I sold my S13 complete so it's going to have to be stripped and sold for parts. Kinda demoralising as it took so much time and effort to put the parts on in the first place.

Thanks for the post, bolarbag. Any idea of how much a wrecked donor car (6sp TT) would cost nowadays? Just pricing it all up at the mo.

What does the trans tunnel mod entail, Homer? I've had engines in and out many times on my driveway. It's never easy, but I don't have any alternative. Will definitely plan to do this in the summer.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. I've found the perfect Aerotop for the job (at the right price, aswell) so I think it's time to get the ball rolling... haha the beauty of "search".

Hi Branners. I'm currently thinking about doing this, but converting a NA Auto to a 6sp TT. The current plan is to try and get hold of a wrecked 6sp TT donor car and then transfer the bits I'll be needing. Any idea of how much wrecked 6sp TT go for nowadays? Thanks

Thanks guys

It was immaculate... this picture wasn't long after a full respray. It's strange you mentioned about the spots... they came with the bumper from Titan Motorsports. I never really liked them, although they looked nice at night (the odd time they were on). Oh well, they're someone else's problem. Thanks Vicky. I saw you guys at JAE this year ( I was there with the SXOC). I had a good drowl over your stand. :yummy:

Newbie here. Name's Adam. I previously owned a Mark IV Supra around 4 years ago, but sadly had to sell it due to financial circumstances. It was my P&J: To be honest, to this day I've missed it like hell and have always wanted to get another one... which brings me here. Currently driving a S13 200sx which I've invested a lot of time and money into (kidding myself I wouldn't get a Supra again), but I think it's time to either sell it or break it. Also own a Renault 5 GTT which will also go to bring back the Supra dream. Look forward to hopefully meeting some new peeps on the board and owning a proper car again. Adam
