Guest smith.s2k Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi there im new to this website, I currently own a 99 Honda S2000 and im looking into buying a Supra. Now im after a Twin-Turbo 6 speed manual(RZ) hopefully a 99+ model. What sort of prices should I be looking at? Also a quick question about Aerotop Supras. I understand they didnt release a Manual version(only in the US) but what would be the cheapest way to get a Manual Aero? Covert the transmission over? or would changing the body shells be easier? I saw a Black one for sale in Malvern months ago but was quickly snapped up on ebay god dam it. Anyway cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Auto to manual, this costs appx £2.5k-£3k for the conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Changing body shell is a MUCH bigger job. I really want an Aero GZ (TT) but it'll be auto - and then a 3.5k conversion to manual on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz does it for £3k and it would only cost maybe £2.5k for a DIY conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 £3.5k? who is ripping you off? Jezz does it for £3k and it would only cost maybe £2.5k for a DIY conversion. May be factoring in a new clutch too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad - nobody is ripping me off (yet) - I seem to remember Jezz saying it was about 3.5k for the lot, but then I think Rob is right - that may have included a new clutch too.

Pabs Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 awwww i dunno then - but whichever it's cheaper than I said! yay! My plans would be to single-tubby the car anyway, so probably need an uprated clutch at same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't think you'll find a 99+ aerotop. I think they stopped making aerotops in 97 (not 100% sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't think you'll find a 99+ aerotop. I think they stopped making aerotops in 97 (not 100% sure) Possibly left hookers? I can't recall any right hand facelifts aeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame - the whole UK market dissapearing and things like this all read as a general underlying sentiment of Supras weren't widely recognised and/or highly regarded.

Jake Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Possibly left hookers? I can't recall any right hand facelifts aeros. Just did a quick search to check Faye's car's year, ISTR it was a facelift Aero, anyway seems her's is/was a 98 aerotop - so they're out there!

Pete Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just did a quick search to check Faye's car's year, ISTR it was a facelift NA, anyway seems her's is/was a 98 aerotop - so they're out there! Cool. Quite rare then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchaos Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 aero TT's were only out in 93 and 94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yeah Fayes is an N/A though as are any RHD aerotops in facelift guise. That would then entail an engine swap or serious rebuild and turbo conversion. How big a job is it to swap a LHD to a RHD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ahh, that would explain why every Aero TT I find is a 93/94 then! d'oh - i knew that too, but for some reason was hoping there would be a later one! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smith.s2k Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 How much is it roughly to fit a standard Supra twin-turbo to the engine if I was to get a SZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 How much is it roughly to fit a standard Supra twin-turbo to the engine if I was to get a SZ? I think that's about £3k as well, but there are a few things on an NA that aren't as good as a TT - the gearbox for example (unless they made any SZ-R aerotops??)

On this note then, what else is there that would need changing in order to convert an SZ-Aero to equvalent of RZ/GZ-Aero? Engine Gearbox Brakes Abs .....

Jake Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 ABS, unless you were able to find an NA with ABS of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ta - I'll keep note of these in my post above if that's cool - so I can refer back to it ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Best way has to be Aero TT to 6 speed then facelift it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
