edge Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Plus 300bhp from a st205 gt4 is no problem with new colder plugs and a boost controller! Save a couple of grand more and get yourself a tidy TT 6 speed. Put a tt in an n/a and you each the gearbox up in a few k miles if your lucky, plus iirc n/a's dont have lsd's so your looking at about £2.5k on top of the tt engine for all the 6speed gearbox,diff,running gear etc so works out cheaper to buy a TT6speed. I have the adjustable arb on my gt4 and it makes a massive improvement but nothing compared to driving a rear wheel drive car. Put an boost controller in your car and enjoy it. Save up then get a TT 6 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt4tosupra Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 good advise edge! cheers! think i'll save up for a tt then, and will put the arb on mine for now to tied me over for the time being! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt4tosupra Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 come on people beat the credit crunch with up to 30mpg from a gt4!! the car now comes with a Whiteline rear ARB, brand new, not yet fitted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Supra's are so over rated you should get an S14a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt4tosupra Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 if their over rated then i'll swap ya for my gt4 260bhp! i just wish i could disconnect the front drive shafts on mine but i'm told its not as easy as that! they said just buy an RWD. Toyota is the best, so logic says i must have a supra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraGZaerotop Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 if you want practical then gt4 does between 23-30 mpg! supra would prob struggle to get 23mpg max i'm guessin? also its got a much bigger boot, more room in the rear, cheaper on insurance! and also faster! 255bhp standard, mines dyno'd at 260 with just iridium plugs hks back box and blitz panel filter! 0-60 is 6.0! oh, and 4wd for excellent grip! i always thought that the gt4 was actually quite slow compared to some other similar powered cars. anyhow the TT supra would def munch the gt4 for breakfast, never driven an NA supe but i woulding think they are all that fast at all, i mean 1500kg and 200+bhp, youd get bored very quickly, altho lovely to drive.

supraGZaerotop Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I do not have a Supra anymore, I saw the light and bought an S14a. had my s14a for 4 years and spent a fair few quid on it, loved my s14a, great car, sr20det is such a good engine, who knows may get another 200sx in future, fast as hell and good on fuel to. do miss this car alot, was running around 300bhp, and i would say up to a ton there was not much in it compared to my TT.

And it is great on fuel on a run 34mpg, the lowest I have had is 27mpg (when I have been bothered to work it out). Insurance is half the price of what I was paying for my J-Spec and £150 less than my UK TT. Now I want to try the 4wd world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraGZaerotop Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 yeah the 200 is a light car, 1280kg i think. my supra feels like it has much more presence on the road, dont half get some looks. but the attention my s14a got was great.

Animal Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 changed my mind again, i do sill wanna px or swap for a manual na supra, dont want a tt cos my insurance from the gt4 will double, and i'm guessing petrol will be costing more on a tt than an NA as well? so anyone out there want 260 standard bhp? I take it you've not had a quote for an N/A then. Chances are it'll either be the same or dearer than a TT. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt4tosupra Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 ye i got a quote, NA is cheaper with RAC i'm with at the mo. i pay 73 per month on gt4, it'd be 95 with NA, or 130 with TT! nearly double what i'm paying now. as for an MRpoo i wouldn't touch one of those again! they dont even feel like an RWD cos too small, big coupes only for me thanks!!
