How is a Supra for a long drive, a travel through Europe for example? very comfortable and a pleasure
What are the most important things to check throughout such a journey? same as any car really
What spares would be best to take along? oil water and a basic tool kit
How much is the insurance usually for a Supra? need more info about yourself for this, im 27 and have a modified uk 6 speed single turbo and I paid £840 with mods declared
How easy is it to find spares in the Midlands? easy enough, you have Keron (extreme performance) only in Leicester who always has spares or there are other traders here on the forum too
Are spares cheap or decently priced? A supra is an expensive car for spares but I haven't noticed a huge difference to equivalent cars on prices
What are the common maintenance issues to check and replace and how often? There is a very good list of things to check when buying one here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?67644-What-to-check-when-buying-a-Supra general maintenance is similar to any performance car when it comes to changing oil and cambelts etc...
How long do the Turbos last on a Supra and how much does it cost to replace them? Standard turbo's are pretty strong and last a long time (depending what boost you run them on of corse) replacements come up in the for sale section every now and again from people going single and only usually a few hundred so nothing major
Are they some Supra Mechanics in the Midlands? you have Keron in Leicester and Chris Wilson in shropshire, think SRD are midlands area too but someone else will have to confirm that
