Bazzagt4 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Welcome, N/A's are great my friend, I love mine to bits and its done a fair bit of track time aswell, driven correctly they are a very able car and great for learning about RWD skills before taking on some monster big BHP supra. Lets face it they all look the same so just take it steady and enjoy Toyota's jewel in the crown Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 ow well we carnt all aford to run let alone insure a tt. . . . Don't worry, it's mostly light hearted here... It's just that we get a lot of people who come on here expecting to extract more power out of the NA. Just be happy with what it's got, it's still a good looking car. As for insuring a TT, you'll find there's little between an NA and a j-spec TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRA-JDB Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 to true guys, thats why i bought her, to learn. pleanty of plans in the pipe line before i commit to a tt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heather1mee Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 welcome!! got a na my self! love it! altough power would be savage, and dangerous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 ow well we carnt all aford to run let alone insure a tt. . . . Theres surprisingly little in it when you add it all up. Sorry if I offended you, just being me. Dont let that spoil the forum experience. We are a friendly bunch, any Supras a Supra and all that. Please do some research on here about N/A tuning before spending a lot of money in the pursuit of more power...it really is something that many want but impossible to achieve. Enjoy it for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend just getting a good quality filter for the stock box. The Supra's box is good up to 500 bhp apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Put money into good tyres, better brakes / pads, re-newing suspension components first. Arguably will make the car faster and more responsive in overall terms, and safer to boot (god I'm good ). Not sure about the free-flow exhaust situation on an N/A. They look good and sound good, but power gains will be minimal from what I've read on here. Induction kits...I once lusted after a blingy intake kit too, and was seduced by the hype printed on the box. After a spell on here it became clear that the original Toyota design is optimised for both power and filtration of harmful stuff. Again, after-market kits may get you part of a horsepower more, but other than the looks they are a lot of money for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Stay away from the snake oil (superchips, induction kits, exotic HT leads and the like), they just don't make enough of a difference. Enjoy the NA for what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 so i rekon a nice panel filter, and leave her at that, concentrate on handeling and stopping? cheers guys Fair do's. A lot of new Supra owners cant quite seem to get past the initial urge to bling up rather than spend on immediate upkeep / servicing / safety. It is a strong urge, but well done if you can see the benefits in spending money looking after what you have first of all. Post some pics too. We like pics.
