markybhoy86 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi All I'm trying to make up my mind about weither to import a supra or try and get on from england. looking to spend 8-10k, wanting a 3.0 twin turbo manual http://www.japaneseimportspecialists.co.uk/ this site was recommended by a guy off another forum i use, i gave them a phone today to find out everything. i'm aware that if i get a UK model itl b easier to get the BPU upgrade due the waste gate being larger. if i got a jap model how much would it be for the restrictor ring that needs fitted?? also can use give me some personal opinions, what would use get?? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Getting a UK spec is going to be hard on your budget they do command a primum. You can pick up nice J-spec manual TT's for that price and are just as good as the UK spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 speak to Jurgen on here , his imports seem top class . The restrictor ring for the exhaust ? i think envy sell them for about £15 mate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markybhoy86 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 nice supra m8, looking with somthing under the 60k miles so would use recommend i go for an import rather than a uk model then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Finding a TRUE 60K Supra is getting very hard, they are a GT car after all and are getting no younger, I would buy on condition and history before mileage every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Finding a TRUE 60K Supra is getting very hard, they are a GT car after all and are getting no younger, I would buy on condition and history before mileage every time I agree, look at Tooquicks one for sale, with 150K, i wonder what went wrong with that from 50K to say 100K. Not a lot would be my guess. If you do want genuine low mileage then you'll just have to be patient for a uk car to come up or enquire via Jurgen and keep an eye on Paul Whiffins stock. Unfortunately IMO you are after the one remaining supra spec that seems to still command top money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 If I were you I would contact Jurgen on here. He would be a good bet to get you a decent import and would be able to advise what you can get for your money etc. http://www.jm-imports.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Have a look on the for sale section. There are a few nice supras in that range. 10k is plenty for a pre facelift vehicle. will probably get you nice facelift from looking at the for sales on this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
