add heywood Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Im looking to buy a well modded twin or single manual. Looking for about 500+hp if possible. Any colour etc. Have about 15k to play with. Is this realistic? Ive noticed prices starting to fall recently so thought i'd start my search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 You will get a nice single manual for this money, no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yes that's very realistic, unless you want one of the very newest VVTi 6sp ones with a single turbo. I presume you know you that can't get 500 HP from a TT with the stock sequential turbos, right? Just in case somebody tries to BS you about their TT.

Hey mate yes been doing my homework, should have said hybrids really. Tbh would like a nice single just thought i'd try to broaden my search. Not really to bothered about vvti, would rather a well built older one that looked nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Buy mine and get a single conversion from Jezzy. You are looking at one hell of a Supra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Don't underestimate VVTi till you've tried it, but you're right; it's not the be-all, end-all. Hybrids will struggle to make a true 500hp reliably, if at all, and never 5000RWHP. In your shoes (and I've been there) I'd now go for a stock bodied, well specced small single 6sp hardtop with a good quality stand-alone ECU.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 if you can wait 10-12 weeks i can import you some nice ones from japan mate cheers. http://www.jm-imports.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Don't underestimate VVTi till you've tried it, but you're right; it's not the be-all, end-all. I'm in a pickle with mine. IF i keep it, the stock head that's on now will max at 580bhp which isn't far off what i've got now. But if i get power hungry, i might ditch the VVTi. However, the power delivery low done and the torque is awesome. Not sure what i'm gonna do at the min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Good idea to go for single search ... I had my running standard for 8 years, 1 year on BPU and now since april on single ... awesome power now. You have a nice budget which should allow you to find a nice Supe ... less expensive than buying a standard one and modifying it afterwards (my single conversion was £10k, bearing in mind that I already had some esential parts such as FMIC from BPU). When looking for a single Supe, check for one with a good ECU and nice fuelling (injectors). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Guess i'd let mine go for about 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you poss pm me with anything that might fit the bill. Quite like the modded look rather than stock. Waiting isnt really an issue for the right car Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Guess i'd let mine go for about 15 Or my Auto T61 (>500bhp) for a lot less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hybrids will struggle to make a true 500hp reliably, if at all, and never 5000RWHP. Probably best to go for a single then. What sort of standalone is the best. Seen F-con gold and aem around quite alot. I only live 2 seconds from Hyper Sports and Racing, think they have program most.

Sorry to keep posting so many questions in a wanted thread but do you guys advise buying a single manual or possibly going with a cheaper single auto and having it converted?
