hadyn Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Trekked all the way down to Torque Imports today to test drive the 1993 red tt that they have for sale - i instantly fell in love with the car and its in very good condition apart from two quirks - 1. The oil was low, down to the halfway mark and 2. the steering made a groaning noise when on full lock to the left, which i suspect is either low/old Power Steering fluid or a crack in the PS system. Absolutely loved the car though, and am highly looking forward to saturday for getting my hands on it! The autobox is as good as everyone goes on about!

dangerous brain Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 and a quick question, the speedo is in mph but the odo is in kms, i thought that the digital odo was swapped to miles when the speedo was sorted? Not unless it comes with a certificate to say it has been done legitimately. Its not an easy thing to do either which is a good thing as how many cars would be clocked back if it was easy to do?? Easiest way to sort out the limiter and get the odo to read miles is get a thor delimiter and converter, the cheaper conversions do over time cause hassle, It is in my opinion the very first modification anyone should do to a J-spec supra.

Fifty Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Mine reads in miles on odo (with km letters still present ) 180 mph speedo and delimited I think this is pretty common ; unless they have short miles in Cornwall lol. Incidentally I used to work next door to Torque and met the guy a few times seemed OK to me. I am only 50 miles from there. Enjoy the car! 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 this has got a 110mph speedo, so im presuming the speedo hasnt been fiddling around with and its got genuine kms on the odo??? i think it may de deristricted though, as we couldnt get it to bounch of the limiter at 110+ leptons on our private test track in the wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 You are saying that the speedo only goes up to 110 mph??? Thats not much good!!! Plus alot of speedo's over read and until you pass 120 you wont know if its limited or not. Odds on I reckon it still is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
